Did Tepper ‘meddle’ this past offseason?!?

I know everyone is pissed at this guy, we’re about to go 8 seasons without playoffs or semblance of hope

 

it was painfully obvious last offseason he pushed for the #1 pick with a lopsided trade then compounded that error by in essence forcing Gerber to be the #1 pick.

 

 But this offseason, I haven’t heard much rumblings about him. So while the team is in total disarray is there a possibility he has learned from his major F up that football isn’t stocks and you can’t pick winners from charts and analytics and this is the first offseason he allowed football guys (Morgan) to do football things

In what way do you think?

 

 I’ve heard nothing this offseason to suggest it

There is no telling. I just know that someone who has a history of micromanagement as their style of mangement rarely ever changes, especially at his age.

Now, that can also happen with someone in a new position but he has been an owner long enough that it should have changed already.

It's just who he is.

I'm sure something is going to come out

For example, I wonder if they're willing to run this back.

After preseason game 1 Dave Canales was asked why he played starters in Tampa but not in Carolina.  He calmly stated that Tampa had a QB competition and Carolina didn't.  "We know who our guy is here."
 

I just don't see any scenario where a new coach with control over this choice would make Bryce the defacto starter after what we saw last year unless it was mandated when he was hired.  

So yes, I think Tepper meddled by only considering coaches that were onboard with project Bryce.

Does being a terrible at hiring and managing count because it's an obvious yes. Morgan and DC wouldn't be here otherwise. See Caldwell in the coaching search to cancel out the consultants as an easy example.

Its bigger than that... google "Executive leaves Tepper sports" and see how many diff stories there are.  Hes a friggin nightmare to work for... these are dreams sports jobs and the turnover rate is crazy over there.   I know someone that has to deal with him on a regular basis and by all accounts he's an absolute a-hole.

It's just another part of it all in the end. Having a HC and GM report directly to him will not end up any differently. Being a terrible manager is why those people cycle out. On the football side he was directly involved but this year he was more aware and worked the PR side, that was the only real difference.

His thing worked in a hedge fund and is a clown show in the NFL. I don't think he could run a Bojangles at this point.

Tepper's meddling lead us to hire Canales and Morgan - D tier hires at best.

He's also clearly instructed said D tier hires to double down on Young.

So yes.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
