I find it more than interesting that Mrs. Tepper is doing these public interviews where she is now introduced as “Owner, Carolina Panthers”.

Is it just me or has she gone from “wife of owner David Tepper” to “Owner, Carolina Panthers” seemingly overnight?

Mr. Tepper has gotten so much public backlash recently, and now his wife suddenly is the public face of the franchise?

Not a good look IMO.

I still don't understand why or how she has such a public facing role for the franchise when she has zero qualifications for it 

I mean most owners aren’t really qualified. They are just rich. I would agree though they should probably hire someone to handle interviews and press like a Team President or something.

I like what she said. Most of it. Better than a bunch. She seems to have an inquisitive mind.

 

The crap where she’s bragging over corrupting the team’s playing surface for the 40 ticketed events blah blah, definitely the lowlight.

I can't really handle the Canales press any more right now. Too motivational speakerish for me, buzz words and throwing nods to the finance world is pretty cheesy. Hopefully he's a good coach but I'm over these early fluff interview. Except when everyone is like we have no idea who you are and no one else even interviewed you for HC lol.

I swear the first two, it felt like I was watching a plastic surgery matt rhule. It even made me upset evero didnt get the job. But someone have to take the incoming 3-14 seasons on their resumes.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • 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  
    • 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.
