Some decisions that involve personnel  are also business decisions.   It it is a business first and foremost for Tepper. 

I think you are overplaying the current Panther PR that surrounds a green HC and green GM.   I'm sure they have been given some rope to get started.  But NFL teams have always been mom and pop shops.  Tepper will be in the mix.  That's just the way it is in the NFL.  Degrees vary.  But there is no such thing as an actual hands off owner IMO.  

Expand  

Guys who have been in the football business for decades taking advice from someone who's never done anything close to what they're doing?

Yeah, sure 😕

You are clueless about the business of business...

...100% c-l-u-e-l-e-s-s.

I don't give a sh-t about business.

I care about football.

(and no, they're not the same; not even close)

The Panthers are a business, a

solid medium sized business...

...the product just happens to be football.  

Tepper is on top of everything, period.

Equally familiar with "bird on the head", "bird on the shoulder", "bird chewing holes in my shirt" and several others.

Try "bird chewing through the $300 complete in box collector video game" sometime.

The Panthers organization is a business, but football is a game / sport.

Sports require coaching, scouting and talent evaluation. David Tepper does none of those things, and is in fact not qualified to do them (something he freely admits).

That's why, as Matt Rhule stated, "he leaves the football to us", with "us" being Rhule, Fitterer, Morgan and their people.

I get that you want it to be true, but it isn't, and all the wishing in the world won't change that.

And sorry, but "who does (whomever) report to" isn't a clever comeback. It's basically just an admission that you've got nothing else to come back with.

He is definitely on top of you.

He's definitely got a weird sort of "hero worship" thing for Tepper, no doubt.

And I mean, that's fine. By all means, he can be admired for his accomplishments if one chooses to do so. But acting like he picks the players, sets the scheme or does any of the other stuff that falls to the coaches and front office is just delusional.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
