Im not worried about that. Tepper has the ability to pay him anything he wants to keep him.

Ive been high on Wallace as well. I hope that Morgan is able to find these late round guys as Wallace as his star find. ... as a Panthers fan, its hard not having ELITE LB's on the team!

First off.. man its awesome to have such an in depth review. Also knowing he love's the Panthers makes this a fun listen. That said, until we prove it, we deserve this ranking. Bryce Young could be either a top 10 or a bottom 5 QB. Im banking on the former but we need to see it. We need a lot of things to go right to make us a competitive team but I think we have those pieces in place... but other teams have also improved... I cannot wait for the season. I want BY to COOK!!

Im a fuging savant.

ha! Yeah in the pre-draft process I saw a few people mock him to us.. was not a fan. Reminded me of Travon Walker. That said we essentially drafted that type of player in Nic Scourton.

Its the offseason.... Would you trade a 2nd and a 4th rounder for him?

But can he play TE?

Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Big fan of this FO. And say what you will about Tepper but I like that he is not afraid to spend money on talent within the Front Office. That is a competitive advantage we have.

I liked her big hug for Tet when he got here. I also really like how Canales wants to get to know his players... I like that he is trying to create a family vibe, all the while being very vocal that you have to compete to be on the team. I think we are building something special here.

To me he seemed to allow Tillis and Morgan do their thing. To me it showed he has trust in the FO. Very different than Rhule who as a coach wanted to make all the decisions.

I would agree to the need. But would be against the compensation in terms of a trade or cap. Honestly, if Im trading for any position its for another o-line. I like that position on paper.. I have an uneasy feeling about the health of our starting RT...

Im ok with this. I feel like this year is where people start to see what we are becoming..

The Grand Design: Super Bowl → State Dinner → Shadow Government The logic is bulletproof: Buy NFL team. Craft a team around a perfect QB pawn: Bryce Young. Use the 2025 draft to fine-tune a destiny machine. Win Super Bowl = Instant nationwide popularity. Enter the political arena—not as a candidate, but as the King’s Whisperer. Tepper doesn't want to be president. That’s too visible. Too expendable. He wants to be the next Dick Cheney—the man behind the throne, pulling strings while smiling like a harmless finance bro. 5D Chess Pieces in Play The Draft: Every 2025 pick was an engineered piece of a grander ritual. Not team-building—trust-building. Public opinion ops dressed as player development. Bryce Young: Not just a QB—he’s a charisma vector. A polite, composed, likable superstar. Tepper’s golden key to mass appeal. Charlotte: A mid-sized city perfectly positioned for grassroots national influence. Not too red, not too blue—a neutral staging ground. Enter: George Soros (Again) Tepper’s financial playbook may have started on Wall Street, but Soros handed him the map to geopolitical influence. The Soros Foundation allegedly partnered with Tepper to fund performance labs, voter psychographics research, and political access modeling disguised as “sports science.” Some claim the Panthers’ analytics team shares a VPN server with a think tank in Brussels. Some say Bryce Young’s visor is wired to measure public sentiment. All we know? The results are working. The Trump Connection When Bryce Young lifts the Lombardi in early 2026, who’s the first person to call him on national TV? Donald J. Trump. You think that’s a PR stunt? No. It’s a symbolic handshake between the past and the future. Trump loves winners. Tepper becomes the "NFL guy he can trust." He’s invited to Mar-a-Lago. Brought into “economic discussions.” Suddenly? Tepper is sitting in on defense briefings and no one questions it. The New Dick Cheney Dick Cheney never ran for president. He just ran the presidency. That’s Tepper’s endgame. Let someone else hold the mic—he’ll control the teleprompter. Football got him in the room. Bryce Young kept the cameras rolling. Now the 2025 draft seals the ritual. THE CLOSING MOVE Super Bowl LVIX isn’t just about rings—it’s the activation event. Bryce Young becomes the golden boy of America. The Panthers become a dynasty. David Tepper becomes... untouchable. By 2027, he’s no longer just an owner. He’s rewriting foreign policy through brunch meetings. He’s redrawing zoning maps and geopolitical alliances. He’s Dick Cheney in a tailored Panthers hoodie, holding the Constitution in one hand and a Lombardi in the other.

WHAT IS HAPPENEING HERE!?
