Saving face for who? Nicole? By throwing Dave under the bus? How exactly does that benefit the franchise?

Everyone and their brother already knew Dave was really big on Bryce Young. He flatly told us. There's no saving face for him.

All we've gotten so far out of Tepper about the final call is that Bryce Young was a collective decision from the group of people that included Dan Morgan as far as I know. They've said nothing while Reich McCown and Fitterer have taken the fall.

It's going to take a few years or more but we will eventually get the truth when Reich and others speak. In the meantime no I'm not in a hurry to buy what Schefter is selling here because it's largely irrelevant.

Do you believe this answered the question I asked?

The Tepper's could use any kind of lifeline right now that's all I view this as even at the expense of Dave. The narrative that Nicole was pro Stroud all along only feeds the notion that it was all Fitterer Reich McCown and Thomas Brown. They won't all stay quiet forever.

I got a question for you. Do you think David Tepper is an ego maniac? Egotistical? Full of himself?

You think it's conspiracy talk to not just blindly assume everyone on staff from last season that's gone wanted Bryce Young and there was no dissent?

He sure hit it off with Matt Rhule immediately didn't he?

I dont think this is the dunk that some of you think it is.  The process was fuged from the jump.

I think it was a quip Adam Schefter made on some nothing podcast.....because people like kicking Tepper on the subject given the glaring egg on our franchise's face.   Think that's the beginning, middle and end. 

I doubt Schefter knows a random message board has been fixated on Nicole Tepper.  Because this is the only place that cares.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
