Interesting when talking about the Young pick, he keeps saying that he supported the coaches and the scouts fully. Calling out Reich specifically. Hasn’t specifically mentioned Fitterer at all
It just seems like there is a lot going on in the background that none of us know. Is Fitt a “Tepper yes man”, or is he the driving force behind all the roster moves, or is he getting what the coaches are requesting to the best of his ability and doing a good job within that context? We don’t really know.
On the topic of Bryce there is plenty of articles detailing the draft process that makes it seem like Tepper allowed the coaching staff and Fitt to pick their guy. Whether or not people trust those articles is one thing, but they are just as valid as the he said she said sports media reports coming out that Tepper forced Bryce on them.
Talking about soccer and pointing at another team’s player coming to town as a highlight is… certainly a choice
Important bit casually dropped at the end there was Tabor announcing that Parks Frazier will be the new QB coach and Thomas Brown will be the RB coach in addition to OC and playcaller
I really hope we can keep Tabor after this situation, really good coach and special teams has been really good since he’s come here. Additionally, it sounds like he knows he’s not the long term option here, just wants to provide a spark for the last few games to maybe crank out a few wins
Definitely noticed this time around he reeled it in and had a lot more of the business non-answer speech lol didn’t come off with as much overconfidence and pompousness this year, maybe he’s learning and trying to save face with his public appearances 😂
Oof, Scott Fowler has some choice words after Tepper’s section (link):
I’m very unhappy w/ the Panthers for getting frozen out of asking a question at the David Tepper press conference.
Sat in front row; raised hand high; wasn’t called on; protested to no avail.
Felt like it was purposeful.
I liked Tabor. Hope he can get us a couple wins
