Schefter: “She(Nicole Tepper) was a big CJ Stroud person.”

1. Surprised Shefty hasn’t had a drink thrown on him yet

2. This is completely false

3. Interesting.

4. This goes against everything else we’ve heard about her preference. 🤷🏻‍♂️

5. Sure she was

6. Uh huh, Schefter has all the inside information on every team and is always first to spew it

7. That’s fine and dandy – but remember (gotta find the quote) but Tepper basically said it was a room vote on who they go with, and it was majority(edit – it was “unanimous” per Tepper himself)voted to go with Bryce.

   He alluded that he would go with whatever the room decided but that his vote was “heavier” than the rest

   So while Schefter 2 years later comes out and says “Nicole was a big CJ fan” – I’m sure is nothing but damage control after a horrific handling by TSE in 2022/2023 with hiring Reich, his staff, keeping old staff, scouting, and decision making

   Edit – here’s the quote and source

8. Shefty must get paid nicely to be a mouthpiece for these owners. I call BS

9. Bruh, the national media will say literally anything to stir up bs lol

10. So I have to ask…who cares? Is Nicole a football savant in hiding?

11. The only national reporter I trust on the Panthers is Albert Breer. Schefter is a notorious rumor-monger and this completely flies in the face of pre-established information from more reliable sources.

12. All these guys we’re all for Bryce Young and gave the Carolina Panthers an A+ score after the draft and now that it’s not working out, they’re all acting like they knew better. It’s such a joke.

    I remember when Mel Kiper said of Jimmy Clausen, after the Panthers took them in the second round,”if he’s a bust, I’ll retire”. All of these guys are self proclaimed “draft experts” and their reputation is on the line. I’ve heard one guy so far come out and say that maybe he was wrong about Bryce. And again, nobody knows, Bryce could turn it around, but it’s easy to blame the organization for mishandling him rather than admit that they got it wrong as an analyst.

13. Smells like 🐂💩

14. I’ve come to the conclusion that tepper might’ve been afraid of Stroud fucking his bitch.

15. She’s a nobody who knows nothing about football, why the fuck does she ever get mentioned by the media
