The way they draft has played out makes me think Tepper, or at least his system, is still involved. Our drafting looks based more of an algorithm and some analytic model than watching actual football or even common sense. Now we've brought PFF into the building. More analytics. Where are the guys that just watch football. This guy can separate. This guy rises under pressure. This guy has a feel for the flow of the game. Bend. Hands. Footwork. Just fuging football. Its like we're watching fantasy football based drafting and team building except there isn't a waiver wire to pick up the hot replacement for one of your bust picks.

The Tepper's are still involved behind the scenes unfortunately. When Fitterer leaves and we're still drafting the same mold of WR's after busts TMJ and Mingo and we're trading up for injured RB's it's more than just Morgan being inept. Dan although a good guy and a Panthers legend is clearly IMO taking much of his cues from ownership. We have cut off our nose to spite our face in order to surround Bryce with as much talent as possible in order to attempt to "fix" him and justify the investment in direct detriment to the rest of the roster. And that points directly to the Tepper's.

I actually don’t think Canales is a problem, but Dan has made some really really stupid draft choices. XL over McConkey and the Brooks selection altogether were the epitome of stupid fuging picks. 
 

Bryce will be lucky to flounder in the league past 2 seasons after we finally cut bait with him. 

I dont know if Canales is a problem or not, we wont know until he can get a guy that can operate his offense.  But I do now his shtick will wear thin with another 5ish game season

Bryce is going to get Dan fired

We all know it, but there are def receipts in that building of who wanted Young and who wanted stroud.  I know the company like was that EVERYONE (lol thats funny) down to a man in that building wanted young  but if morgan had reservations then that should play well with tepper.  If he was dying on the bryce hill with the rest then thats a problem

I could not believe XL was drafted ahead of Ladd

i recall Young's father pushing for him

Canales  was looking for an  equivalent to Dk Metcalf and Mike Evans

he got Jonathan Mingo with personally 

So was a certain owner

Bryce is a really smart kid

Is he tho?

that’s what all the scouts said but everything else they said really isn’t true and nothing makes me think Bryce is particularly intelligent. I think he’s just been trained to answer questions his whole life which just makes him an actor. 

and believe me there’s not a dumber collection of people than actors.

that is why I wanted Morgan to get Max Brosmer from Minnesota in the AT trade.  He reads lightning quick--his measurables are solid--but better than young. great footwork.  He simply needs time.  He is accurate--at WORST he'd be a solid backup for another decade, but I see him starting somewhere one day soon.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
