So, what are the chances of this whole thing being Tepper paying an assload of money to all these coaches, Fitt being his yes man to do the trade to #1, all because he decided he wanted a QB and he likes Bryce? These coaches aren't going to say no to what he was willing to pay, even if it's just for a year or two. If it was out of this world talent I'd buy it, but I gotta wonder if this is Tepper just gambling with all his money he's bored using on face value purchases

Tepper had already said straight up "He wants a QB". Tepper had been very social and making a visit with Youngs family and had a chat for a few hours about Bryce the whole time he and his wife were there and even had dinner with them. All I read about was Fitterer and whoever else was involved was all in on getting Young.

I'm not doubting Youngs talent, just curious about Tepper leading the charge for trading up after the Watson/Stafford/Wilson strike outs, and how much the actual coaching staff really likes Bryce as an ideal fit

Seem like the whole staff was on Young at this point.. Most of the really tapped in media members have been calling this for weeks.. Shefter, King, Mortenson we’re calling this a week and a half ago..  Lance and Walterfootball (I don’t like ) pretty much have been saying this from the beginning..

That is why I said that. I wonder if Tepper has interfered with the choosing of Young in the draft. I'm not saying he is but what he did kind of makes one wonder though. Like you said about are certain staff members were against and some for it as a split between them between Young and Stroud..

even in case of a split would it be the case that the owner breaks the tie?? I could see if it was all the FO and coaching staff is against this and Tepper is over ruling them.. But by all reports it’s not that way.. It seem like more want Young in that building then don’t..

when the owner can overpay the coaches to do what he wants yeah they'll say that. If we sucked into the #1 pick sure, but this massive trade up for a gamble seems Tepperish to me

I’m sorry I’m not in to conspiracy theories.. I can only see what  is put infront of me.. Young has been called the best QB in the draft for a long time by more  ppl then the Teppers.. Mccwon before being employed did a breakdown where he was glowing about Young.. Brown says he wants a PG at QB while most scouts and analysts compare Young to Curry.. At some point you have to acknowledge the bread crumb trail..

Even Fitterer has talked glowingly of Young. I recall a tweet from a Panthers podcaster (with accompanying photo) from November where Fitterer (allegedly) spoke heaps of praise about Bryce Young. This move seems very Fitterer-ish if anything. 

Bryce Young has  been the best QB in this draft for 2 years now.

Reich has talking glowingly about Young, they all have consistently.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
