Do you think Fitterer and Reich would have the courage to say no Tepper?

[posthumecaver]

My opinion Panthers is taking huge risk with Bryce Young.

Not that he can’t play ( I wished that he would not play behind Alabama‘s OL so we could really know he can play or not)(don‘t come to me with the argument that he is an Heisman winner is, Chris Weinke was also, we all saw how well that worked out for Panthers) my real concern, it is nearly certain with that frame he will experience a major injury and will be out for a while, so can Panthers afford him sitting out  1 or 2 seasons because of injury because of such an investment.

Which bring us to my point, one of the biggest reason to fire a GM or HC in NFL if number one pick will not work out. Even the Fitterer and Reich will not believe Bryce Young will not work out, by not opposing hard enough, they could always say, hey boss, you forced us to make the pick why do you blame us. They have the perfect blanket.

I really like to think they would stand up if they would not believe that is not the best interest of the Panthers but to say the truth, as an employee I am not sure I would.

Tepper is the owner and signs their checks.  If he wants them to do something they either convince him otherwise or do what he says.

What if I told you Fitterer likes Bryce more than Tep.

And Reich loves him to.

I know, Shocking.

because it’s not the QB You want.

Nothing so far has indicated Bryce is Teppers pick, everything has pointed to Tepper letting Fitt and Reich run the ship. If Bryce is the pick(He most likely will be) it's because of Fitt and Reich doing the due diligence and deciding he is the best QB, not because Tepper told them to.

[pantherclaw]

It's their job to lead thus franchise into a constant winner. Of course they'll make the tough decisions.   

[BerryLoMein]

Someone should go rogue.

Of course, Tepper probably encourages then to speak their minds and be honest. If you’re asking if Tepper told them to do something would they say no?  Not unless it was illegal/unethical.  I doubt Tepper is going to put them in a position they have to say no. If it’s about QBs, that’s their decision, Tepper isn’t going to tell or insinuate they should take someone they don’t want. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

There is literally 0 evidence of this outside of Huddle posters shitposting so until there is, I'm taking it with a massive grain of salt.

The team picked the QB you didn't want. There is no need to tinfoil over it and scapegoat Tepper.

Heard an interview stating Alabamas line was 115 of 130 in 2021 when young won the Heisman so saying that he played behind Alabamas oline and didn't get pressured doesn't hold water. Still wouldn't be my choice but your assertion isn't accurate.

Their offensive line was kind of trash.

If you've been around a boss like Tepper, you'd already know the answer to your question.

Reich/Fitterer are going to make the pick. Tepper may have his preference, but at the end of the day, he hired them to make decisions just like this. It's their job. 

Likewise, I'm sure they understand that they need to make the right pick. If their pick at QB doesn't make the franchise markedly better, they'll have to answer for it. It's just simple accountability.

Believe it was noted they were ranked 121st last year

[MechaZain]

Maybe the staff actually likes the guy who's been considered the top prospect of his class for two years

[WUnderhill]

Let’s all just ignore Fitterer’s comments that Tepper is allowing he and Reich to make the decision and assume the complete opposite.
