yep

why didnt they ask him about fitt

They wouldn't have gotten anything out of asking him about that.  If Fitt isn't fired yet, it is because Tepper either still has faith in him or is waiting until the end of the season.  Either way Tepper isn't going to throw Fitt under the bus.

Reporters only had 1 question each it seems so they had to make whatever they asked count.  And they did ask good questions - Tepper just ducked all of them.  It felt like he was prepped with every answer EXCEPT the one about Stroud/Young.  You can see in his body language and how he was fumbling over words (unlike in his earlier responses) that he didn't know the right words to say.

Because they thought Texans would take Bryce.

I'm not defending him, at all. I hate him. But let's not twist words. 

Not twisting. He pretty clearly fumbles around trying not to say anything to give up info.

It would have been extremely easy to just say "no, that isn't what happened" but he didn't, or couldn't.

[SaltAndPepper]

If anything, I bet the Scouts and Fitt wanted Young. 

The coaches wanted Stroud but weren't opposed to young. 

Once they went to Tepp, told him they "like Stroud" but "Everyone" likes Young more. So he zeroed in on Young.

They alluded to him early on

[CBDellinger]

amazing that the presser just ended minutes ago and people are already twisting and falsely reporting what he said.

it felt like he had a canned answer but tripped himself up on it and he couldnt resist saying he had the final say

This IMO is what makes by far the most sense and is probably what happened.  

People talk about Bryce like he wasn't considered the #1 QB throughout the college football season.  It wasn't until Stroud's game against Georgia that he got #1 buzz.  By all accounts, scouts across all teams loved him and the Texans 100% would have taken him.  So it is quite likely the Panthers scouts agreed.

I can buy Reich and the staff preferring Stroud, but I don't think there is any evidence that Reich outright didn't want Bryce.  I do think that his offense didn't fit Bryce's skill-set (in an ideal world) played a role though.

he literally said he had the final say, he literally said that

I'm not sure if I can support this team anymore. We have an owner/head honcho man who is clearly a narcissist and doesn't know how to reflect, look in the mirror, and change his failing ways. You can't steer a ship if the captain is in over his head. 

With the NFL in decline and the current conditions of the economy, might be a good time to take a step back and do something else on fall Sundays. 

[Mr. Scot]

Chris Tabor was much more forthright, though he did the client to answer some questions about specifics.

One thing I got from eading between the lines was that the reason they fired Josh McCown Is so that Young has only one actual "quarterback coach" rather than a QB coach and a "passing game coordinator".

[pww42]

Some need to listen again. The staff and coaches picked Young. He could have vetoed them but didn’t.

 Media is saying he meddled with them he is saying he didn’t.

That may be the worst owner press conference I've ever seen
