It's pretty well documented that they view him as future GM material.

Agree, I think the south will be more competitive then people expect.

I think it comes down to how well thier QB plays. If he turns out to be decent they will be competitive, if not, they might fins themselves in Panthers 7-9 just outside QB range territory.

To be fair, you should listen to Billy Marshall's interview with the S2 co-owner. Gives a lot of great context to the exam.

Well Justin is trending pretty up right now and Zach, Trey and Mac are not. Make of it what you will.

No lies here. Social media and Instagram culture have wrecked the current generation.

Point is, I think Frank is easier to convince to turn to Bryce than Fit is to turn to Stroud or Richardson. Fiterrer has been talking about Bryce even before draft season.

I mean its reported that several front office folks love Young. Tepper is just the big name that brings attention. I can guarantee you Fiterrer is in the Young camp as well. Just read his quotes and watch his interviews and you can connect the dots.

Looks good in that jersey.

Yes! Elite line, protect that rookie.

My question is, who has the time to check people's follows all day?

I think AR is out of the picture unless Houston forks over next year's 1.

A lot of denial right now. It's gonna be Bryce, might as well start ordering that jersey.

I don't understand it - if they Panthers trade back so the Texans take Bryce, then suddenly at 2 Richardson is the favorite? So we don't really care about Stroud at all, even though he is in contention for the number 1 pick? Guys, it's going to be Young. He is and always was the best in the draft. All the language has pointed to it, all the signs. The media just ran with the height thing, and that's started to fall apart.

I think Fiterrer goes with his guy in this case.

He put context to that, saying if football wise it was split 50-50, it would be more from a business perception than anything. So that is really a last resort option.

A lot of talk today Texans prefer him over Stroud and Richardson.

The pick is Young.

Dang! that is probably in the 100 percentile.

I think they've locked in on Bryce and he will be the pick.

I mean thr weight that Tepper has on this decision is only media speculation. I doubt he is in there demanding his prospect, but obviously his interactions or thoughts could have an impact. That's every owner. If we were talking about maybe some prospect that's a 2nd round talent this would be a problem, but it's well known that a lot of the building like Young and he is the consensus number one guy, so I don't think there is that big of an issue here.

I'm very much pulling for you and your sources here. I remember you got the rug pulled under you last time when SF swapped to Lance. I hope the Panther do not do the same. Stick with your guns imo.

I don't think the choice should be hard when you have a clear "most talented and best QB in the class".

Not that I have a big dog in the fight, cause I like both prospects, but it is funny to see Cody from C3 in complete denial of the most recent news.

More from Breer: From Kaden (@Kaden_Baker5): Any buzz around Houston, Indy or anyone else trying to grab the No. 1 pick from Carolina? No way Carolina would do that unless they love Anthony Richardson right? Kaden, I really think the Panthers see something pretty special in Young, just based on some things I’ve heard. I think they also know even if someone came up to get Stroud, they’d then lose Young to Houston. So my sense would be that even though Carolina GM Scott Fitterer liked the idea of trading back again to pick up some extra capital, the logistics of the situation won’t allow for it.
