Yeah, I’ve seen the Leaky Faucet person say that and again — just as somebody who’s been spectating for a while — I don’t think their track record has been nearly as good as the Crown and Claw person. Not trying to stir the pot or anything, just an observation. 

The interest in Bryce Young is definitely legit although I wouldn’t say anything is set in stone. Especially with QB visits left to play out. 
 

From my understanding the trade to 1 was with both Stroud and Young in mind and proponents for each in the building. From the sounds of things the pendulum is moving towards Bryce. 

At this point the expectation is the Panthers will make the first pick in the draft so while not everything out there is legit, everything also isn’t all a smokescreen…

As mentioned above, nothing is definitive and likely won’t be until next week after visits conclude

Yeah your second to last point is something that I’ve been thinking about recently. They really don’t have to do a bunch smokescreens because they’re picking at 1. Reich even said as much in one of his pressers. I personally believe the closer we get, the more legit info starts to leak out because again, what good does a smokescreen really do for them?

I’m gonna trust in whichever guy they take. 

Since I have no choice, I will agree with and support the Panthers choice 100%, even though I would like them to select C.J. Stroud.

He was spot on about some of the coaching hires before they were announced. That’s all I know.

Yeah I'm very devastated about the possibility of drafting and developing our franchise QB. Take it easy bud.

If Tepper likes Bryce that’s where my money is. I can see where there may be legitimate differing opinions from different members of the coaching staff about who the pick should be. If I paid 2.275 billion for this team and had to live with the results of this pick I would listen to the coaching staff, but the final decision would be mine as owner. This pick more than any other since Tepper has been here will define his legacy as an owner. You can believe “it will be the coaching  staffs decision” if you wish. I don’t think so.
