ESPN’s Matt Miller: “There's a lot of like for C.J. Stroud there, but Bryce won the entire organization over.”

Unless your ground zero argument is that Tepper was the only voice for Young and everyone else was team CJ (which isn't at all accurate) then I can't get how you'd look at what Miller said and jump to "this was a Tepper pick".

Young is the consensus pick and it was really only ever between two guys from what I've been hearing for weeks. 

It literally says in the article snippet that Young won the coaching staff over after tape review. They just don't like what they're hearing and are making up poo about how Frank Reich really wanted CJ Stroud (because he smiled at him during his pro day) but Tepper overid him because reasons

Back in March Schefter tweeted that David Tepper loves Bryce Young. Then you see the photos of Mrs. Tepper it's clear they had their preference all along. Is Tep directing them who to pick? No. But when you have two prospects who are close and it comes down to which one to pick it helps that your boss who pays your salary loves that one. I'll trust they are making the right pick there isn't anything else to do.

But I will say the folks who are posting these copium quips remind me of when the huddle was rationalizing the Kyle Allen hype machine and trying to convince themselves Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold just need more time.

Maybe let's just allow BY to get on the field and show us something 🫡

Yeah it’s a simple coping strategy for the Stroud/size bros

None of us actually know the conversations that have been held in that front office but didn’t someone else say Tepper is largely letting the GM/HC handle this (as he should)? Also it’s basically been confirmed all the early smoke around Stroud was pure speculation without any sort of actual leaks there. I’m sure there are dudes in our organization that have Stroud QB1 but it seems like overall the consensus has come to everyone being able to get on board with Bryce.

Most people assumed it was Stroud after the trade because Frank Reich coached tall QBs and there was no way that he would ever want a short QB like Young. Even after he came out and said "nah thats not true" the telephone game persisted.

And everyone completely ignored the fact that BY9 is and has been the consensus #1 QB on the board for 2 years

I’ve wanted CJ from m the beginning only because of durability concerns for Young but there is no doubt, on tape or elsewhere, Young is the better QB.  The best QB in this class.  I completely get why we are drafting him and I will fully support him as our QB.  The coaching staff is doing there job and taking the best QB, nothing more nothing less

I feel Fitt liked Young from the beginning and maybe Reich had several he was high on. It’s not hard to see why Young won them over once they got to know the prospects. He is going to crush any interview and can probably dive into game tape better than any of them. Throw in his actual game tape and he tops out the competition.

Whats the big deal if this is a Tepper pick? And the way it’s written makes it sound like they looked at Bryce’s tape and the coaching staff wasn’t sure on him. Then they had to dive BACK into the film again and then were like “oh yeah, he should be the pick”. Almost like there was a guiding hand pushing the stuff to “check something out again to make sure you didn’t miss something”, and then they were all on the same page. 

Tepper makes mistakes, sure. But he also has a business track record of fixing failures pretty quickly. He picked Rhule, got burnt and then flipped that into potentially one of the best coaching staffs in the entire NFL. 

Most folks here want Young to be our QB. Why is it a problem if our owner agrees with that and is actively pushing for it? Maybe without him we draft Richardson or Stroud and then you folks get upset we didn’t take your guy. 

I don’t care who is the source for getting something right as long as we get it right.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
