I'm not saying he made the pick and I'm not saying he didn't make the pick but there are tons of people close to the team and national media and people close to Reich that are all saying the same things or similar things about Tepper and the pick in the draft and his involvement with the team. Lots of smoke and where there's smoke...there's fire.

ESPN has UNC ranked 8th in their new top 25.

Can we just seal this one shut... seriously.

He's third string at A&M

That should be a make up for the one earlier on Nesbit earlier. Lol These refs suck

Yea, they missed a bad hold against Rucker earlier.

The kids in this game are too hyped up. Both teams making dumb penalties

Apparently the Panthers will be sellers and not buyers.

Tepper is always going to run this like he did his businesses. He's the same way with the Charlotte FC. He's hands on, he's overbearing and involves himself in everything. If something goes wrong, he will chop heads at a snap of the fingers. He won't ever step back as that's how he runs things he owns.

:vomits in mouth: Thanks for that one. Lol

Your owner that doesn't know football shouldn't be over riding his front office and coaching staff that he hired to ya know build a team and pick their players. It's been a constant problem since he took over and since he took over the Panthers have the worst winning % in the NFL... that's why.

Or worse fields turns it on, they turn that pick into 5 or 6 draft picks including at least two firsts plus draft MHJ with their own pick. Lmao

No but if 0-17 gets tepper away from football decisions then sign me the hell up

Because its literally known in NFL circles that he wanted Stroud. Everything else is PR bull from the team til that press conference that lit this thread up. Young was the front offices and coaching staffs QB3.

It's in that article, an open NFL secret that Tepper made the QB pick over riding both Reich and Fitt who both wanted Stroud. Tepper meddles in every single facet of the team from drafting to coaching. Mind you he did all this after Brown and Reich got together and built the offense for Stroud.

Kai asked to be traded and didn't show up to the optional player workouts and then kept talking about how the Hornets wouldn't trade him so he didn't know when he was going to play again. Very weird.

Oh I know, I was using it as an example because Young will have to have a clean pocket to be successful, his deep throws are going to come off clean pockets and improvisation. He's not going to be able to throw very well from a dirty pocket like bigger and stronger qb's can.

Yea I saw a few of his games as a rookie. Thing is he didn't get sacked much and he threw the ball down the field when it was tougher for offenses to throw. He had 3700 yards, 26 td and 28 int as a rookie... he definitely showed ton of flashes tho.

PR bull. Coach isn't going to come out and say nah they didn't pick my guy I wanted. That gets released through the season like it is now. But we definitely had reports from at least scouting that it wasnt unanimous like they said it was plus all the smoke coming from the team now... I'd say it's guaranteed that Frank didn't want Young if not both him and Fitt

I been trying to tell people that the scouting staff and coaching staff wanted someone not named Bryce Young. It was Tepper, then Tepper and then Tepper again.

Same thing with Brees, he had to have excellent center and guard play to be successful. That's even more important with Young because he's quite a bit smaller. So in the NFL he'll have to have great guar and center play so he can have a clean pocket to throw from otherwise it pretty much eliminates the middle of the field.

If the Bears can't trade with the Texans or Colts then they likely take Anderson at #1. So Either Young/Stroud is left at 3 or AR is there as a fallback. Both the Texans and Colts balked at moving up with the Bears because they wanted a player back on top of the picks. Either way you play power run with foreman and Hubbard with play action to protect the QB til you can fix everything else. 1. The line is better suited for power run instead of the zone currently being ran in carolina. 2. The qb actually has a #1 wr to throw to with DJ and a #2 with AT. "I wouldn't change picking up AT, he's a nice #2 for a young qb." Probably wouldn't change picking up Hurst either. 3. Team is down less picks plus still has its top WR and still has a young rookie QB to excite the fan base. 4. It allows the team to transition with said rookie qb and the offensive style protects the qb and leans on the defense. Open up the playbook in year 2 after fixing other areas of the team and put more on the qb's plate gradually.

Take the offer for #3 instead of #1. Keep DJ, still be able to draft one of Young, Stroud or AR at #3. Likely the Bears trade with Texans instead and the team gets Stroud at #3. So #9, same second rounder and future first. Don't sign Miles Sanders, keep Donte Forman. Keep Wilks but make sure he hires solid offensive coaches. Run power run and play action and solid defense to protect the young qb you just drafted. Instantly better team. Yes I broke the rules. Lol

Pass across the middle does not equal a 15 yard out.

Most say his frame is 190 and that's what he already plays at. Not sure he can gain a whole lot of weight or muscle
