Yes they are.  Watch the video the dude from Walter football quotes just that and attributes it all to Hurney.  Like I said its not factual.

And you do not measure GMs by players who make the pro bowl.   You judge GMs by players who make the super bowl.

Drop the race baiting bullshit. Consider it a warning to all involved. 24 hour bans come next. Go to the TB and rip each other to shreds for all I care, but don't bring it here.

Thanks, but there was only 1 poster involved in this thread.

I went back and hid most of the posts, I just got tired of clicking hide.

I think it’s still good form to handle it this way though. Tell people penalties might happen and if anyone keeps it up even if they weren’t that one user it’ll lead to time outs for everyone involved.

Sounds like a bunch of smokescreens to push him down the board.

I hope Charlie Campbell is wrong about Tepper, but he did get my attention when he essentially said in so many words that Tepper seems to be trying to "reinvent the wheel."

Unlike most, it is interesting that while not specifically naming names, this guy Campbell does at least give the NFL position of many of his sources...

...as for Tepper, he's definitely not employing the "traditional" (some might say archaic) NFL-model to run the Panthers...

...but he's not "reinventing" anything either --- he's simply continuing to operate within the decades-proven model that allowed Appaloosa Management to secure its rightful place in the Hedge Fund Hall of Fame.

Said model is readily transportable...

I don't know about Appaloosa, but I will say that the Steelers' model has been a successful one, and their modus operandi on and off the field has been decidedly old school and hard to argue against! I'm almost certain that Tepper is sticking closely to that model, with his own---perhaps more modern---tweaks!

I ain't hatin' on him!

100% concur on the obvious success the Steelers have had --- but the Steelers model isn't the only model that can be successful in the NFL.

As for the Steelers and Tepper....he was nothing more than a passive investor there (5% stake)  and had no involvement whatsoever in team operations --- in no way is he steeped in or beholden to the way the Rooney family runs the team. 

Tepper's already show PLENTY to allow for a definitive conclusion that the "old school" Rooney model ain't how he's going to run the Panthers!

 

EDIT >> Here's a passage about the 2 guys who bought Tepper's 5% stake in the Steelers:

"Their stake in the Steelers is believed to be the proportion of the team vacated by David Tepper, who bought the Carolina Panthers in 2018 for an estimated $2.3 billion. When Tepper bought the Panthers, he had to give up his stake in the Steelers. Harris and Blitzer will reportedly have no input in operations of the Steelers. "

Yea total character issues definitely shouldn't be drafted before the Panthers picks

He sounds like Bo Callahan to me from Wisconsin.....top 2 talent fell to 7 to Seahawks.

I agree to a point, but I don't know all the "plenty" differences. I mentioned that he would probably tweak his approach. I was already aware that he didn't have any say-so in the operations of the team, but he did have a front row seat as to the way they do things. He has already hired one Steelers exec, and if I were betting, I'd say that Colbert will be the next GM of the Panthers.

Another Jay Cutler lol?

Where shall we start? 

Do you think the Rooney's gave even a minute of thought to putting Colin Kaepernick's closest ally on their roster?

How did that particular move align with the Rooney's and their "old school" modus operandi?

In this day and age, we all have a front row seat....including you.
