Read the Huddle. The majority of the content is answering this question.

And had for the past 3 drafts and scores of failed trades/not trades.

Now, on to the question. If I had $21B, I’d invent a Time Machine (assume it has a 3 year max) to go back to the 2021 offseason and not hire Fitterer but still can Marty and install myself as GM and use the Huddle and scouts for drafting. My 2021 draft priority is OL, OL and more OL. I’d let Rhule stay because he’s steering the ship in 2022 to get us a much better draft slot than 9th. The rest is gravy and hopefully, I’m sitting on a bounty of picks for 2024/2025 while also having so much more young talent.

Hire the best General Manager money could buy, let him select the best Coaches and Scouting Firms  money could buy, then step back and let him prove he was worth the money.

If this approach didn't work the first time I tried it, I would  fire the General Manager and repeat the same plan until it did.

I would be GM/HC and also operate as the punter.   Yes, I listen to the good people.  Cam Newton is now Team President.  Free beer in the first quarter.  All about creating that homefield advantage. First game I insert myself in the Panthers Hall of Honor.   I would have a staff that patrols the huddle day and night.  They would inform of all your bad takes of me and your critiques of the fake punts I call.  I would then pay Jimmy Clausen to do cameo videos to respond to each idiotic post trying to slander me without him having any clue what he was actually doing.  You silly mofos would love it.  I promise you the next season would be more entertaining than what you have been sitting through.

It takes a lot to make me literally laugh out loud (LLOL) but you, sir, have succeeded.

Y'all know this aint about money.  When money is no longer a concern, it becomes a very minor issue behind decisions. He wants to prove to the world how great he is.  Money did not make him famous, but this ownership has;  however, he is infamous, something he never expected.  He is getting older and seeks things money can't buy--like immortality (a lasting reputation as a winner).  If he turned over the decisions to others, he would appear to be a failure in his mind.  He wants his fingerprints on things--When things go wrong, he fires people because he wants to project that THEY are the reason it went South and even though he is to blame.   It gives him the feeling of the "White Knight" riding into town to save the village.  Right now, Tepper is embarrassed and blaming others--his circle that fed his narcissism and allowed him to think he is smart just betrayed him in his mind.  Even if he knows that he is the problem, he is going to focus on appearances, even if fabricated to protect his ego.  Being the richest owner, I am sure that he thinks he is the smartest and wants to prove it.  I doubt he has the awareness of reality and sense he needs to step aside, unfortunately.  The Narcissist with power is a very dangerous creature.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
