I mean thr weight that Tepper has on this decision is only media speculation. I doubt he is in there demanding his prospect, but obviously his interactions or thoughts could have an impact. That's every owner. If we were talking about maybe some prospect that's a 2nd round talent this would be a problem, but it's well known that a lot of the building like Young and he is the consensus number one guy, so I don't think there is that big of an issue here.

I'm very much pulling for you and your sources here. I remember you got the rug pulled under you last time when SF swapped to Lance. I hope the Panther do not do the same. Stick with your guns imo.

I don't think the choice should be hard when you have a clear "most talented and best QB in the class".

Not that I have a big dog in the fight, cause I like both prospects, but it is funny to see Cody from C3 in complete denial of the most recent news.

More from Breer: From Kaden (@Kaden_Baker5): Any buzz around Houston, Indy or anyone else trying to grab the No. 1 pick from Carolina? No way Carolina would do that unless they love Anthony Richardson right? Kaden, I really think the Panthers see something pretty special in Young, just based on some things I’ve heard. I think they also know even if someone came up to get Stroud, they’d then lose Young to Houston. So my sense would be that even though Carolina GM Scott Fitterer liked the idea of trading back again to pick up some extra capital, the logistics of the situation won’t allow for it.

Schefter on his Podcast with Matt Miller and Jorden Reid are pretty bullish that Bryce is the pick. Obviously things can change, but in general - people get the 1st pick right 99% of the time.

I agree here. Very uncool to tear a guy down with hearsay weeks before the draft.

Bryce Bryce, Baby.

Why? This has been the most interesting off season in years. I'm on thedge of my seat to see who the draft. I think this is awesome entertainment.

I think you nailed this.

That tweet was from March 10, clearly a lot has changed since then.

Sure, buts it's the rights to pick the first QB off the board and the only one you want. Even Houston media is talking about how expensive it will be to make that move. Carolina won't do it for just 33.

Rough Monday huh?

I don't think they would do it for 33, I think it would cost 12 or a future first to move us off the pick.

I think it's a bit offense heavy, I love the guard though. Protect that QB investment!

I agree, I think it would at minimum take a future 1 however.

Even Albert Breer now Either they are pushing ridiculously hard to get that next year 1 from Houston, or where there is smoke this is fire.

I've seen a lot of local media suddenly going to Young in their mock drafts. Ellis, Carolina Blitz, Newton, Sheena. It's not a small contingent.

Pretty sure BY has Watson's agent as well.

I mean his receivers dropped like 4 sure huge gain passes in each of those games. Clearly you didn't watch either of them.

I think the chance it's Richardson is less than 1%, so I'm not even considering it.

Levis is so far out of consideration at this point that I don't even care. It's Young or Stroud, and not surprisingly, the news as we get closer to the draft is that it's likely Young.

Because there is less to teach Bryce than there is to teach any other QB in this draft.

Not worried about this at all, this is a very learnablr skill and we have the best coaches to teach it.

Cowherd is just making an educated guess based on his feeling of it. Just like everyone else.
