I’ll hate it and I think it leads to more mistakes. I also don’t think this org is willing to put Matt Rhule out there to the world with only Pickett to show for in rounds 1-3. So if they draft Pickett at 6 I think they then start mortgaging our future to get more picks Pickett pick would reinforce the press, fans and everyone to poo on Rhule. It’s not a Baylor guy but it’s still the college connect dominating. And he isn’t good enough to even beat Sam probably out the gate. And he has no big upside you can claim will be coming.

Penning? That would my guess who they are referring to. They might want him at RT

trading back into the 2nd would cost us mutliple picks and likely requires us to dip into 2023. I don't want Matt Rhule using the next coaches picks.

18 kids in this draft run at least a 4.4. Rookie's put up Robby Anderson numbers pretty often. I just don't see why in this draft you would trade for Robby before or during the draft with all that out there. You might could deal him after the draft.

Green Bay just added Sammy Watkins. They just checked the Robby Anderson box with that. Plus, this draft leans WR too. So why not just draft a cheap kid that runs fast. 9 WRs run a 4.3 in this draft. 9 more run a 4.4.

Ideally a OT will be there at #6. They don't trade back. If not... Heck, trade back to pick #32. Further back in the 1st you trade down the more you accumulate. There isn't anyone at 15 that is going to make us drastically better than at 32. Big difference in trade value chart between the value of 15 and 32.

The Darnold glory games….2 games vs rookie QBs making their NFL debut and a hurricane displaced, injured and coachless team.

Well, people wanted Tepper to come out and speak on specific topics. The ones he was accused of hiding from. Tepper basically showed his face and said no comment in regards to everything people were wanting to see him on. we are dealing with it. Calling his presser a waste of time and nonsense. Tepper can deal with the heat he is getting and clearly is aware of. Same for his coach.

So we are back to wanting Teddy Bridgewater. What is the definition of insanity?

Has Tepper’s way been patient? He keeps saying Rome wasn’t built in a day when his record is referenced. But Tepper isn’t actually patient. Part of the problem IMO. Which has lead to poor decisions.

No one wants him to openly trash Sam like is done on a message board. The only sensible alternative to not trashing him isn’t repeatedly declaring him a great QB. did Ron and Hurney trash Jimmy Clausen right before they drafted Cam? Nope. They also didn’t praise Jimmy as a great QB. That’s the reality lane I think people wish existed here.

Bonds don't magically appear. We know RH accuses Tepper of being a wrench in that. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Tepper has refused to answer all questions and did so before he nixed the deal and before RH allegedly begged him not to say a word about anything and everything. again, good reporters don't not ask questions because rich people don't want to answer them. and to quote Tepper today, he is idiot and has made a lot of mistakes.

and he was again asked about his role and asking RH not to issue bonds. he has long refused to address his role because good reporters don’t refuse to keep asking questions because rich people don’t want to answer them

the CN2 reporter was the 2nd to last person to ask a question. That wasn't Rock Hill media. Literally every legit Panther reporter has a 1000 questions for Tepper on the topic. Because he hasn't talked and still refuses to. And he refused their questions for months now....before the "but Rock Hill asked me not to talk" BS narrative.

Tepper basically spent his entire time deflecting all questions. I don't see it as much other than that. Sounds like Tepper is pretty involved in any major and important player. So I would assume that includes the top draft picks. But maybe instead of Tepper and Rhule and it is now Tepper and the GM. It sure looks like Matt Rhule is on the back burner. No way to have faith in a HC and hide him the way the Panthers org has.

You need built in bias to walk away from that trainwreck presser thinking that. That was a horrible presser. This is why they have been hiding Tepper and Rhule. And if Tepper hired good people....they would have prevented him from doing that pointless presser today and just left people bitching about him hiding. That didn't help Tepper at all today.

anyone that sits up their with a straight face and says Sam Darnold is very good QB repeatedly......is telling you that everything they say is utter bullshit. Truthful people don't randomly throw in insane lies of that magnitude. They aren't able to. They BS some polite remark acknowledging the reality we all see and know.

Summary for those unable to watch:

Dom, Fox, and Rivera all were in the postseason by year 3. And all had built better teams by the end of year 2 than Rhule. Tepper was right about 1 thing today. He is an idiot.

Tepper - I’m only here to talk about Panther football Panther football question Tepper- that’s a question for the GM not me.

- Jay Z plan - get better - Jay Z plan - no comment - no comment

David Tepper will be avaliable only via zoom. Better than nothing.

Hopefully Joe Person and Sheena are there. Those are about the only two that push the envelope these days. and yes, I said Joe Person. He has been better since moving to the Athletic.

Horn was discussed here at least. He was actually my worst case scenario prediction the day before the draft. Because I thought the Seattle GM would be overly focused on trying to mimic what lead to Seattle's success.
