I 100% believe this.

I also don't believe the "incredibly smart" part for Tepper. I have heard the dude talk. 

He is smart within his area of expertise, running a hedge fund.  I think he is now learning (maybe, we hope) that running an NFL team is infinitely harder than running a hedge fund.  Who knew?

That is precisely what I mean. Beijg very adept at your field does not necessarily make you smart. Being smart in your field doesn't mean you are smart outside of it.

The facts are in, Tepper is insanely stupid at being an NFL owner. Can he learn and get smarter? Maybe. I am doubtful.

The emphasis on analytics guys among our GM candidates isn't encouraging me 😕

He's damned and determined to try and renovate in an area that literally doesn't need it.

I firmly believe he thinks he is some sort of visionary.

Hell, he admitted that much after the Rhule disaater (said he thought he was gonna show everybody how it was done) but he also claimed he'd learned his lesson.

(Morgan Freeman Voice: "He had not, in fact, learned a damn thing)

I meant innovate, FWIW.

But, yes, he thinks he is far smarter than he is. I've met the type, they rarely learn.

Pretty much.

Also don't doubt he'd say stuff that was pure bullsh-t if he thought it'd make him look better.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
