tepper and company destroyed….yes fuging destroyed…the franchise for this guy

The Rhule Fitts ad Tepp destroyed it in the years leading up to this trade. While the Bryce trade hurts and was certainly expensive it’s not what made the team blow for more than half of a friggin decade.  Those doofs mismanaged the roster in every way possible.

Imagine walking in a room with Stroud/AR/Levis/Bryce and leaving that room thinking the small midget is the right guy to lead your franchise.

 

Tepper is a fuggin joke!

I am sorry to whoever was a fan of Bryce Young for the NFL...  

They lost their minds. Supposed to be professionals. I can't accept that certain people didn't see this.

I don't know for sure who is to blame for leading the organization into that decision, but I hope they know.

Bryce probably reminded Tepper of his favorite golf caddie, which is why he drafted him number one.

We are only past week 1, and the dude is getting absolutely eviscerated by the media.  He's not gonna last the entire season unless he improves.  No way he gets trotted out there for all 17 games at this rate.

I said this earlier this year...once a player loses that rookie label. There is NO saving them from that point.  The shield is gone and they will get picked apart.

I’m intrigued by Ewers. He lost his best 4 weapons in  Worthy, Mitchell, Sanders, and Brooks to the draft. I’m intrigued to see he does with this next batch. Isiah Bond will be a mid round pick but I haven’t heard of any of the other weapons before. 

If we're replacing Bryce next year, it needs to be with a gap starter FA, not a first round rookie

This team has WAY too many holes right now, even if we are successful in drafting a rookie QB (which is less likely in a class that isn't supposed to be great to begin with), by the time we build a decent team around them, we'll need to sign them to a massive extension and lose out on the best SB opportunity.

We'd be putting yet another rookie QB in a position where they can't succeed.

Need to stop looking for the quick and immediate fix and build things up the right way, we need more quality pieces on this roster.  If we end up at #1, you trade back, compile assets, and start doing things the right way for a change.

It's not going to be fun during the early years of it all, but the team has tried to just skip that step of a rebuild and every year they keep trying to skip it, it just delays success even further down the line.  We still haven't even started that process as we did the opposite with the trade up to get Bryce, we gave away our assets for the worst QB in the league and we're still down what is looking like the #33 pick in the draft next year.

Tepper didn't start his finance business and immediately start making billions.  He had to build it up from the bottom, it took him years to do it, this is no difference except he thinks he can skip those early years for some stupid reason.

I’m all for trading down and grabbing a starter but Canales may want his pick. Williams , Pearce, Johnson, or Hunter please sign me up for any of the 4

Trade down to collect picks but stay inside the Top 10 to be able to grab Tetairoa McMillan

My literal dream scenario, he's going to be a STUD in this league, I'd be ordering that authentic jersey so fast

    • Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.  
    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
