Albert Breer: Bryce Young 'never relinquished his lead' over Panthers' other QB options

Why are these anti-Bryce people getting so stupid? Can’t you just enjoy the ride?

Yeah, it's time to roll with the flow, or jump off the train. The way that Young has been unabashedly belittled (no pun intended) by some in here is not productive on any level.

Anyone with more solid contacts with the team confirm that? Cause I've also heard most of the team [front office] wants AR and he was the target since #3 was also in play for a move up, but Tepper over ruled everyone and is making the pick Young. 🤷‍♂️

Anti Young crowd: “This thing is on CLAMPS! We DON’T know who they’re targeting, we’ll find out soon enough!”

 

Also the anti-Young crowd: so and so said everyone wants AR except Tepper!

Right when I go all in with Bryce... I read that and get nervous about him again. It is what it is but at work today, a Minnesota  fan said he reminds him of Teddy Bridgewater  coming out and I  am hoping we don't go down that road and he has the chip needed to excel.

A couple of the mods with contacts yesterday have said the pick has always been Young but that AR was/is QB2. And @The Crown and the Claw a week or so ago mentioned that the momentum had been swinging towards Young and they're probably one of the most reliable insiders on here. 

I feel like it's way too easy for people to say "Tepper is forcing this" when the selection isn't somebody they preferred. Not saying you're doing that but just in general, that seems like a cop out.

I don’t think it’s news to say AR was/is liked by some people with the team. Same with Stroud. But from what I’ve heard is that Bryce has been unbelievably impressive and has won over pretty much the entire org, including those that leaned CJ or AR in the beginning. A lot of people have also been on Young from the beginning and that’s why they went to #1 to begin with. 

Finally, while I think the Teppers approve of Bryce, I don’t think they’ve forced the hand. The minds at be just seem to have come to a conviction and a consensus 
 

Peter King also mentioned that Tepper was not interfering.

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the insight.

What you're saying basically aligns with what a lot of the folks in the media have been saying. Which is that Bryce has just won everyone over throughout the process. I don't know why that's so unbelievable to some folks.

    • 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.
    • 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.
