According to ESPN's Seth Walder, the team is expected to part ways with Taylor Rajack—the franchise's first-ever director of football analytics. Rajack has served in that role since 2019, when owner David Tepper introduced the football analytics department.

It's likely that the firing was true but the AI article was made in an effort to get an article posted about it.

It's possible or even likely he will be but he's hasn't since he's still on the staff page. They are generally very quick to update that.

If you saw the movie Moneyball some of the things they did made sense, but MLB players can be more heady players without that killer instinct that some players have in NFL.  Every year players come from the lower rounds and flourish in the NFL.  Analytics say they are nothing to write home about and yet they make a career for themselves.  

When was the last time we hit on a lower round player?  Andrew Norwell?  Someone who was a starter and not some player that lasted 3 years on the team but never played.  I seriously cannot think of one player since Norwell. 

I am hoping that we draft, especially in the lower rounds, players that have an edge but might not have the greatest 40.  I love and hate at the same time Pachero. The man runs like a beast.  How in the hell did he drop to the 7th round.  This is what we have to get back to, to become relevant again. 

Bottom line analytics should not be a part of how our draft board is set up.

I noticed that too. But this isn’t the first instance of something being done but not announced quite yet this off-season. So we’ll see. May also be apart of a bigger picture with Tilis getting a shot to get some of his guys in and won’t be announced until everything is wrapped up.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
