Tepper Presser Takeaways

1. "What was, was. This is now."

Probably the most important quote from the day. Tepper just bought a used franchise, and he has no interest at all in talking about what the previous owner did with it. It is his now, time to move forward. Any media hoping to get more juicy details into JR's behavior will be disappointed.

 

2. Practice facility is happening. His most definitive language was used in regards to this. Look for an indoor practice field that can also be used for other functions.  Long overdue. It is silly that the team still has to practice at a hotel ball room when weather is bad. Embarrassing.

 

3. Tepper is a straight shooter. He did not have to say that he is under contract to keep the statue. He could have simply said it will stay. But, he chose to give all the info. Apparently, all the talk about open communication and transparency is not just lip service.

 

4. He is a Spiderman fan. This shows good taste in comics. If he would have gone Superman, I would have many concerns.

 

5. The Charlotte sports media was there in full force today. However, come the last days of training camp there will be 4 or 5 media types out there with me. We deserve better.

 

6. A team President will be named soon. He said he has two people in mind already. Look for it to be done before camp.

More to the point though, he's not a super polished political type.  He says what he thinks, to the point where he's even willing to mildly call somebody out for asking a dumb question.

He sounds almost unprepared, and I think that's deliberate.  He isn't bringing well crafted remarks.  He's talking directly from his own thoughts.

Reminds me a lot of David Gettleman in this regard. I'm sure Tepper will put his foot in his mouth at some point, but I love everything I've heard so far.

No doubt whatsoever on that. Also no doubt he'll take responsibility and apologize for it when he does.

He's a likeable guy, so he'll probably get lots of "free passes".

Also, not sure how many people caught it, but as they were taking his mic off afterward he said something like "yeah, no one wants to see more of my chest hair" :)

Yeah, he was buttoning his shirt for the photo op and mentioned how he didn't want chest hair in it.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By KillerKat · Posted

      Morgan still has a little John Fox in him. Got to value those RBs even though they have been devalued for around a decade now. Never go more than 2-3 years on a contract unless he is a superstar, never pay high money and never draft a RB high unless you are set everywhere else. We failed on the first and third rules.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Basbear · Posted

      This is some good solid logic. I still go back to the teams think tank and it includes the current Dan Morgan, each looked over the roster of holes and came to a clear conclusion that the RB needed improving. They could have gave the same 2022 Miles contract to Hubbard, but didn't. Next up Morgan trades up for a RB with sanders and Hubbard here in his last year. While the edge group is lead bye Charles "panthers are the only team that wanted me " harris Hubbard keeps grinding and improves along with the OL, *now* months after seeing brooks on the field and watching hub get like 5.1 ypc...the brain trust goes and gives him a updated miles contract.........Just a odd timeline of events, I believe all of us can agree on that. Just the market is at the lowest its ever been for RBs and this team is 2-7 with other losing seasons with hubbard chugging along as a cheap rookie. I do agree with you sorta need 2 starting level RBs, so use a mid-rounder or sign one in FA for 2-4 per. Hubbard signed for more than King Henry, sure age and all. Id still want Henry for 8per over 2 years than hubbard 8.3 over 2(his cut point) Honestly part of is still pissed form the Herniay era and spending top draft picks and top level cap space on RBs. I love the guy but they even signed toldozer for upper money with stew and dwill, just poor management of resources. Now 20 years later, history repeats while the league is laughing at the Panthers. I want to over spend and over use draft capital on WRs, edge, and DL. At they rotate and play at the same time, panthers never used stew and dwill at the same time while both were top 5 paid. ugh
