The 21-year-old was greeted by Carolina's owners, David (center) and Nicole (left) Tepper

 

I shouldnt have to explain to you why the fuging owners wife hugging a prospect is a fuging problem.  The teppers put there dumb noses in business they should stay away from.  The last two owners that attended pro days were jimmy haslan and dan fuging synder.  Great company there tepper. 

The guy just spent $2 Billion to buy the team a few years ago, you're damn right he's going to show up to the combine after trading away our future to get the #1 pick, but it doesn't mean he had anything to do with picking the player, it's just nonsense to assume as much with literally ZERO evidence towards it, like not even the smallest bit.

Cool, there are pictures out there of Mrs Tepper hugging him at the pro day.

I guarantee that every owner, coach, and FO member who met with Bryce, Stroud, AR, Levis in the pre-draft process shook their hands and/or gave them a hug, just doesn't mean someone took a picture and posted it on twitter (or maybe they did and you just don't follow the right Texans people to have seen it, which is very possibly the case).

Oh my god, she hugged him, so obvious that the Teppers forced Fitterer/Reich to take him after that, how could I be so blind.  Shocking that the owners of the team wants to meet the potential #1 overall draft pick that you want to build your franchise around.

Said it the other day, the Teppers only involvement in the draft pick (after the trade was made) was approving of who Reich and Fitterer wanted to take, and I don't think they'd have said no to either of Bryce or Stroud if the football guys wanted them.

At the College Pro Day?! Which other owners do that?

Bryce was the top rated prospect. The team was looking for a reason to make him the easy pick. I think they had their mind made up before dinner. He’s our pick. He needs to get healthy and get out on the field. We need him to succeed or it’s another 3+ years of the last 5 years. This sucks.

Go look up other owners at prodays & proday dinners and get back to me.

No one knows the mix but he was there. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Confirmation bias

There isn't a single person here who follows enough Texans, Colts, etc insiders to know what their owners are up to with the combine and pro day stuff.

So you see the Teppers doing it and assume they're the only ones doing it because YOU only see the pictures of them (despite not following the right people to see it from the other teams) and then also assume it means they're forcing football decisions (again, despite any evidence of this happening).

Again, lots of players, coaches, execs, end up speaking out about how their owners made too many football decisions when that's been the case, haven't heard one former Panther make those claims.

Little happens in the NFL in a vacuum. They were meddling being there and that is at least 1 %. Never said 100.

People were changing 1 and 2 on their draft boards a good bit in the lead up. But I concede Bryce did become the defacto on most draft boards. Of course that was due to the S2 and some nefarious things said about Stroud ie his intelligence and vague unsourced claims about his character.

I do completely agree with you though the bed is made. Bryce Young needs to be out there playing as soon as he's phsyically available. This charade of Reich basically doing a Helen Keller impression when asked about Young's injury and availability gives off the vibe of incompetence though. They had conviction in their words. Get your guy on the field.

They traded for the #1 pick of the draft in a year that there wasn't a consensus #1 QB, to think that the owners don't then want to be there to see the pro day is just asinine.

The #1 pick had only been traded twice since 2000, this isn't a common occurrence and people are jumping to wild assumptions because they showed up to a pro day and gave him a hug.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
