Looked for a Tepper thread to ask this. Did people know that when Ben Navarro was still in play to buy the team, he asked John Lynch to run things for him? 

Listening to a Lynch interview he makes the claim (really bored, but hey, I never hear that one).

I would take it over this clown show! The fluff is not working on me this offseason, didn't the last two either. You can tell a shitty boss has and is still meddling and micromanaging, but it's a business where he makes profit whether he puts out a good product or not so we're kinda fuged as fans

Kind of odd. He was already GM of the 49ers and just going in to his second season when the sale was unfolding.

IMO…it is infuriating that he and Nicole are even in that room.  Tepper is such an ego maniac. 

Owners in the war room is very common if not normal practice. Blank was in his, Hamp, Kraft, and even Hunt was there for the Chiefs. I’m trying to find an owner NOT in their teams war room…

It is common overall certainly.

But. None of those owners you listed own a team that they have been heavily involved in behind the scenes that currently holds the worst win percentage in all of professional sports. Also none of them that I know of make it a point to stop in local places in the city the team is based multiple times to directly address any vague criticisms.

All this after an impromptu one on one interview where Nicole praised the best thing they've experienced with the Panthers is selling concert tickets.

They bring this stuff on themselves. Optics wise it would be smart to just fall back and let the team president be the face.

Nah people are just reaching now. Following a normal approach as most owners do is nothing to get upset about. The best part is most of the videos I’ve seen have been Morgan talking with Tillis which is what you want. There is plenty to get frustrated with him and her about without overreacting to something nearly all owners do.

Trade back trade back. Trade back. Who else feel like this draft had Tepper and his wife all over it?  Dan Morgan “this is who I would like to draft, but Mr Tepper, what do you want to do”. It just feels the same as every other year. Went with an injury prone RB but thought it wasn’t ok to go with an injury prone LB that is a stud.  Draft gets a solid C so far.  

Can you list his injuries that make him injury prone? All I can find is the ACL injury last November. What are the other injuries that make him injury prone?

Ben Navarro was never seriously in play to buy the team for numerous reasons

I’m talking about the war room and draft we just witnessed. Sitting in a war room is normal behavior and nothing to get upset about. Bringing up past issues which I already mentioned are fair game doesn’t really change the point.

I mean sorta, the are widely known as meddling owners, tepper came out during the hirings that he was going to step away and let football people do there thing.  So it would be more encouraging on that regard if they simply werent in the room even if it was for optics alone.  Take the year off.  Get out of sight.  Especially considering his behavior the day prior

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
