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

Lol that doesn't make sense. Even if somehow they were convinced or swayed to choose Bryce because Tepper wanted it, you think in 3 years if Bryce is a bust, that would save them? Not a chance.

They are going to take who they think is the best QB prospect, because their jobs rely on getting this right.

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.

Exactly. You summed it up very nicely.

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.

Correct.

Regardless of whether or not they have the will to say no, they don't have the power.

That said, I don't think it would be necessary because all indications (and all sources not wrapped in a tinfall hat) have said the decision is theirs.

Tepper himself admits he's not a football scout and has stated that he's not going to try to do their job.

It's crazy how many people are so against someone who has been the consensus top QB in college the past two years. Wanting a young man to fail at something they are trying so hard to be good at and not having any bad attributes honestly makes me feel like some of you aren't loved at home.

We've got some who seem to want everybody that we don't pick to fail miserably.

I don't.

I get the "crush your enemies, see them driven before you" mindset. Hell, most of the time I agree with it.

But in reality, I've got nothing against these kids. Best of luck to them...

...except against us.

      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.
