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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Believe it was noted they were ranked 121st last year

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
