Panthers owner admits a three-way trade for the No. 1 pick was in place two days before it happened

[TeppersEgos]

From the article, “According to Panthers owner David Tepper, however, that wasn't how the trade was originally drawn up.

"We had a trade to go up to No. 2," Tepper said. "It was a three-way trade with Chicago. And we were gonna go up to No. 2. And the Texans were gonna trade up to No. 1, Chicago was gonna go to No. 2, and we were gonna trade with Chicago (for No. 9 pick).

And we're waiting. I think we had that trade kinda arranged on Wednesday. I come from a world where you do trades, and I don't love when trades don't happen right away. So I'm driving Scott [Fitterer] crazy. I have to apologize to Scott for this, by the way.”

It sounds like Houston backed out and figured that the Panthers were going to take Young with the first pick. They were perfectly content drafting Stroud with the second pick. Tepper got frustrated when they backed out and basically demanded a trade that would net the Panthers the first pick. This is why you don’t let the owner function as a GM. I guess in a way it worked out because Carolina and Houston both got their guy, but it’s looking increasingly likely that the Panthers got rolled because Tepper insisted on getting his guy. It doesn’t matter if they replace the scouting and front office if the owner is insisting on things like this. The moment you negotiate out of desperation you’ve lost.

You know I'm wrong about Young. I have been a harsh critic of his playing style this year but I no longer fault him for the bad play this season. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he is on a horrible shitty team. If he doesn't improve next season, well fug him.

Lovie Smith Hail Mary really alter the course of two franchise's future

If the Texans never won that final game, Bryce would be in Houston while Stroud and maybe DJ Moore would be in Carolina rn

why the fug is someone who has never had success or even a role in anything football related having such strong input on what needs to be happening in very impactful football operations? I mean what causes someone to be such a way?

like me with a career in law waltzing in to a car factory and start demanding engines be built how I feel they should with zero experience…not in a million years would I think to do that even if I bought the damn factory

thats literally what Tepper is doing and thinking he will be successful lol..like yea Tepper these guys spent their lives at the craft but you’ll walk in and have valuable input doing it for well since never

 this is a toy to him, buckle up Panther fans…there is no future for this team under tepper

[SmokinwithWilly]

But i was guaranteed Tepper wasn’t a meddling owner and there was no proof.

[Chaos]

Everyone, please!  Stop making me discover that I can hate Tepper more than I already do with each new thread.   It bothers me to continue learning the depth of my capacity for hatred.

 Just imagine if he hadn’t taken that second year to learn the football side. Whew!

Tepper really showing what he thinks of the fan base by admitting this. Either that or he’s completely oblivious. 
 

id take this to the grave.

A tale as old as time. Unfortunately, until he backs off we are going to have to get lucky for enough good decisions getting strung together to get momentum going.

Is this some kind of new revelation? 
 

All drafts and trades are gambles. Tepper and the team took a risk. You gotta risk it for the biscuit. 
 

Im not a football genius, but the team is not complete yet- I don’t believe that it’s for not trying though- seems like the fo is trying, whether the moves end up paying off or being a sore spot in history is yet to be seen. But the joy of sports is that it doesn’t really matter. Watch and enjoy, or don’t.

Lmao white knighting tepper at this moment in time, knowing everything you know.
