Different strategies each time.  You got to think he's ready to just find someone to really help get this right.  He needs the right people listening to candidates and helping create an informed decision for growing something from the ground up.  Top down.

Do we trust him to identify that person though?

I know who I have in mind, but I have no idea whether Tepper will go that route

This all boils down the the #1 overall pick.

The amount they gave up, that needed to be the undisputed greatest draft pick of all time. But as it turned out, we got Bryce...

No draft, no roster. Reich and Fitt bet their professional careers on Young, and it didn't work out. So they have to be as well.

The only thing that will help us heal is time. We're going to suck until we suck long enough to draft an actual game-changer with the #1 overall pick we've earned. And that is at least 2 years away.

now the Panthers fired him after year 1 of his 4 year guaranteed contract (between $20m & $40m)

 

Did Tepper learn his lesson about keeping poor coaching around longer than needed?  Should we be celebrating Tepper's decision to pull the rug now vs waiting until the end of the season (or potentially worse - middle of season 2?)

Eventually yes, but that's not who I think he really wanted initially.  I hope Frank does eventually give his side of the story, but he's classy and I doubt he airs the dirty laundry.  Honestly, even if he does, I wouldn't think less of him because this fan base needs an explanation and you know Tepper isn't going to give us a straight, HONEST, answer.

Why is it so hard to believe? I would understand this possibility if Bryce was NOT considered the top QB prospect in this draft but on most boards he was. The early returns on Young haven't been great but hopefully things can get turned around.

If Tepper fires Fitterer and actually surrounds himself with football minds to navigate the process of hiring a coach and GM combo in unison and allows them to do their jobs without him or his wife inserting themselves into the middle of the day to day team operations I will feel much better about our future. But I think we'll see pigs fly before that.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
