Tepper should love running the franchise, not evaluating talent--(see Jones, Jerry).

Kind of my thought too. I think he openly talks about who he likes, but has generally let the staff draft the players. I think he liked Fields and let Rhule take Horn for what it’s worth.

The original two glove QB David Carr is convinced we take Bryce Young. He goes on to say how the game has changed to favor offenses and he’s not concerned with Young’s size. 
 

All aboard the Bryce train baby.

If he is not concerned about his size then Carr is a goddamn fool.

We’ve seen Burrow and Herbert deal with injuries. Josh Allen was banged up this year. It’s not all about size. 

Injuries and career longevity are different things. You really think a guy smaller than Corral is eyeing a 12-15 year career? He'll be lucky to last 8-10.

Of course, Frank, you could argue that a 6' 5", 250 lb Panther QB had a shortened career because of his size--he took on everyone.  I dunno.  I am trying to get my head right should Bryce get called out in KC first.

We're talking about Cam? The Watt hit was in the pocket wasn't it? Hey man we all saw Cam in 2021 he still had almost every bit the juice as his younger days running the ball. And that's after an unconscionable number of career rushing attempts that would make some running backs blush. That's because of his frame. If you want a more valid comp for Young look at Tua.

Schefter is reporting Tepper loves Young, but Reich likes Stroud. 

Meanwhile Breer is reporting that Tepper likes Stroud but "the football people" prefer Young.

Tis the season 😄

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
