To early, he can still screw up by selecting Levis first overall.

all this hoopla of "but Tepper likes this guy" in contrast to "while Reich likes this guy" ..

 

thats all a bunch of misdirection and smokescreen. 

 

sure, like all of us he has his preference, but theres no doubt in my mind hes opening his wallet and stepping aside and letting Reich and co. cook

I was immediately sold on Stroud, but the more research I do, the more I keep wondering about Young.  Aside from his size, he checks all the boxes---I know Stroud can check boxes too....I think it will become more clear--but I tried to keep an open mind and not lock in on one decision in early March--and the more I research Young, the more I think, after his pro day, people will start favoring him,  Most of the "experts" on NFL network, including a former GM Marc Ross who is firm about it...SO CONFUSED--either might be OK, but if one fails and one succeeds, it will haunt us forever....Unless we take Levis.  Then we need the suicide hotline.

got to consider that box that says "Injury" by it too...........

I am leaning toward C.J. Stroud as the favorite because he not only checks the boxes but is Reich's type of QB to scheme around.

However, if the Panthers decide to select Bryce Young a great QB in his own right, I will not be disappointed with the selection.

I'd say Mr. Tepper has gone a long way in redeeming himself by finally realizing he isn't going to outsmart and outplay 31 other teams by bringing in an outsider with virtually no pro football experience.

I would have thought it would have been obvious from day one that Mr. Tepper's only real advantage over other teams was an unlimited budget to hire his coaching staff.  So, why not try and hire the most experienced and successful NFL coaches you can find?

It took him five years, but the good news is, it appears that Mr. Tepper and the Panthers are finally heading in the right direction.

Not his job to pick the QB. 

Lots of owners are hands on.

I’d say the majority are going to be in the mix for a #1 overall pick, especially one where they have up a lot of capital to get it. 

I think he will have input and it will matter.  Which makes sense.

Tepper hired the wrong dude and everyone started calling him names. I never did. First of all, patience is required while someone is learning (unless you want to drive yourself crazy and create all kinds of premature judgments). And secondly, unless you believe that Tepper is a liar, you had to know that he wasn't going to let the Panthers spiral forever. There is little doubt in my mind that he's going to get the team straight, and once he does, it's going to stay that way.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
