I don’t believe this at all. Steve doesn’t like fox and always loved Richardson. Quentin Janmer was never in discussion in 2002. It was peppers and Harrington. It’s was widely reported fox was all in on peppers and didn’t want Harrington. Also jammer went 5 not 3.

This isn't correct at all. 

Quentin Jammer was going to be the pick if peppers went first. They were both worked out. Panthers never even worked out Harrington iirc

I'm sure there are numerous stories in every organization about owners, coaches, and GMs wanting or not wanting certain players.  I'm sure there are instances of all 3 (owner, coach, and GM) being right or wrong.

Also anyone that doesn't think the owners have final say on what ever they want is delusional.. They write the checks.

I find it difficult to believe that a defensive minded head coach would want to pass on a talent like Peppers. 

Fox's background was as a secondary coach though. I'd say it's possible.

Marty Hurney has previously stated that David Carr was at the top of their draft board that year and if the Texans hadn't taken him, the Panthers would have (yes, over Peppers).

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
