Jason LaCanfora: Dave Tepper loves Bryce Young

Tepper has let his coaches make their own choices to their detriment in the past. Feels like he’s treated as a boogeyman in this regard when his issue has been hiring dumb people who make bad decisions. He’s feeling himself about this staff he’ll let them make their decision.

FWIW, I get the vibe that.....

  • Brown and Caldwell know that Bryce is the better choice.
  • I think McCown wants Stroud.
  • Reich and Fitts are connected now and will end up being the final call, IMO. 
  • The Teppers have done a better job this offseason of asking what Fitty and Reich need and providing the resources to accomplish this. I think they 100% have input, but inevitably will fade into the background after putting in their two pennies.

I think Reich will entrust Brown, McCown, Caldwell and Dekker to put in their thoughts and come to a final decision. Reich will then discuss with Fitterer and finalize our future QB1.

Jason La Canfora is a joke.

I think it triggered a lot of people on here to jump to conclusions.  Tepper was humbled by the whole Rhule experience IMO and has hired guys that know what they are doing for a reason.  If they draft Young over Stroud it will not be simply because Tepper likes Young even though many will push that narrative.

To me, the most telling comment was when Fitterer said the following:  “Nothing’s too big for him. Like, he can walk into any environment and be in total control. At 21 years old, if I walked into a restaurant, sat around with a bunch of 40, 50-year-old men, it’d be a little intimidating. Instead, he just sat there and asked us questions. We asked him questions. . . . Just a really, really solid person.”  Fitterer also said, "(the way he sees the game) he's at a different level.  He's already at that NFL level..."

In other words, this 21-year old kid can lead veterans. In the non-Madden, real world, the locker room is important, especially for a QB.  He can see the field (process--play point guard) and he is ready to start day 1.  Ultimately, this is Fitterer's decision.  The owner likes Young, some of the coaches prefer Young.  (I am not sure that Reich has a favorite, but I would lean Stroud). 
These comments, if not smokescreen, describe qualities where Young surpasses Stroud.  If all true, Young is the pick.  However, the head coach and QB coach prefer Stroud, then there will be debate.

I think he’s just running with Reich likes Stroud bc he’s always had bigger QBs. He doesn’t know who Reich actually prefers. I don’t think he truly knows who any of them like most. 

He has always had bigger QBs and the results have been mixed.  As a former QB, would he be more impressed with the size of the QB or the leadership and processing speed?  I am asking--I dunno.  I can say that if you spent time with Young, you have to like and admire the guy.  Or did he walk out thinking, "There are middle school QBs bigger than Young?"

From everything I’ve heard from Reich about what he looks for in a QB, elite processing sounds like it’s close to the top along with playmaking ability. Measurables were downplayed by him. I guess we’ll find out soon, but I think there’s a good chance it’s Young.

Nah, dude. Choosing a coach and choosing a QB is not the same. 

Tepper was a new owner still feeling around to find his way. More experienced owners were trying to hire Rhule. Let's just be thankful that Tepper has learned from his mistakes and that the Rhule era is over

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      Pretty much. I'm basically treating Bryce as a rookie again this coming season in that I have no stats expectations, no wins expectations, I'm just looking for him to pass the eye test. Just show me that you have the talent to be a legit NFL QB.

      Anyone could clearly see right out of the gate that our offensive play calling was horrendous. Anyone. The fan base was expecting secret plays that we were holing back during preseason to catch the opposition by surprise. That didn't happen. We got old recycled plays from the early 2000's that were embarrassing and didn't even come close to working. Then to make matters worse, we KEPT calling the plays that didn't work and looked awful OVER AND OVER again for weeks. Team after team knew what was coming, and what was coming was idiotic. The quadruple deep hook route was the worst of it because it led to a sack of bad pass 100% of the time. We were not call plays to set up the defense, but rather we were calling plays in a vacuum as though the previous failed plays didn't happen. Didn't matter what the opposing defense was doing, we just kept calling mediocre 00's plays that no one else was running. No one got open. Then, like a blind squirrel finding a nut, a play would work by accident, and Young would throw a turkey to nowhere, or not even notice guys were open. Young was a nightmare. Weak, confused, and rolling out the right to throw a turkey to the sidelines or nowhere. Over and over and over again. Opposing safeties were confusing Young with motion and by baiting him, but the worst part was his noodle arm. Overcranking deep passes to mars that would have been TDs with a better QB was soul stealing to see. What now? We're just trying to not have a disastrous 24' season. Just hope for improvement from Young, and good play calling. Maybe we can get 4 or 5 wins. Keep your expectations low, and if Young becomes a star you can be thrilled. The odds are low.

      I have deep concern that the answer might be both. Reich did a terrible job of catering to Bryce while Bryce just flat out didn't look like he had starting NFL talent.
