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

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
