It’s simple, if Fitt is GM and he’s available, Bryce Young will be the guy.

Schneider was the guy who was all in on Russ during the draft process. Fitterer was initially skeptical, as I'm sure many scouts were. He came around on Russ, and the pick worked out so that may have altered his thinking.

There was an article posted on here during the off-season that detailed the process with quotes from Fitterer himself.

As for Young, I really want to see his true Combine measurements.

A bit of stretch.

@JawnyBlaze Posted a good video analysis on B. Young.  I think those that pass on him are going to regret it.  His size is questionable but, I don't think it is going to change his production.

If you forced me to take a QB today.  I would have to say Young is at the top.  It's a huge gamble but his upside is pretty impressive.

I have been a Panther fan since day 1, a member of this board for over a decade, and read it daily, but never posted.  I think we all can agree that for whatever reason, college coaches historically do not do well in the NFL and with that in mind, there are other historical college-to-NFL facts that everyone seems to disregard.  No quarterback, and only 3 players in history, have ever won the national championship, the Heisman trophy, and a Super b owl.  Only 2 quarterbacks have ever won a Heisman and a super b owl, Jim Plunkett and Roger Staubach.  Only 2 quarterbacks have ever won both championships but not the Heisman, Joe Montana and Joe Namath.  While getting the right QB is crucial in the NFL, the historical trends seem to be against these high-profile, Heisman award-winning, and/or college-champion quarterbacks lifting the Lombardi for some reason, especially in the last 35-40 years.  So if winning it all is the goal, do we roll the dice on beating the historical trends like Tepper did hiring Rhule?  The Panthers already have a quarterback with similar college stats, stature, accolades and hype when he came out in Baker Mayfield, but everyone wants him gone.  So why is Bryce Young going to be different than all the others before him and beat the odds?  Ask yourself.  Do they peak too early or are they just a product of college team success and award rankings hype only?    So I worry about drafting any QB with a Heisman(Panthers have had 4, w 2 by free agency/trade) or national championship (Panthers have had 2 both drafted, maybe give a 1/2 for Kerry Collins almost national championship LOL) on his resume, just like I did the day Matt Rhule was hired.  History seems to be against Bryce Young winning it all in the NFL at this point, regardless of his size issues.  So picking him, we are hoping he beats the trend or we face another decade without a SB win.  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/joe-burrow-super-bowl-heisman-college-championship/pfp6kmfx6equuz9gfgddtleb

So first, nice well thought out good post. You shouldn't have taken so long for it.

Second....what is your solution, then.

I hear plenty of people make the same argument against drafting one early, which I understand, but that's all they do. That's not good enough. Come up with a solution.

They hope players like Corral turn into a franchise guy because Montana, Brady and Wilson weren’t first round picks

I’m still team Stroud but I’d be happy with Young too

If we pick Bryce Young it would be typical for Tepper and his ownership. A 5' 11 QB is never going to be successful in the NFL.

Alabama great QB's  that translate to the  NFL game.  

Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Bart Star . 

NONE IN THE LAST 30 years.  Yet the NFL teams keep drafting them.   UNC, NCSU and DUKE have better QB's than Alabama in the NFL over the last 30 years. ( probably an exaggeration , but you know what i mean )

SAY NO TO PROPOSITION 1  Bryce Young.
