It was either Todd McShay or Daniel Jeremiah who said weeks ago that his source told him that the Panthers will be taking Bryce Young. And that the source has never been wrong the last 10 years.
The pick will be CJ Stroud. Don’t be a clown. Mort is just talking like all of the clowns over at ESPN. Even if it's true that "they all like Bryce," that doesn't mean they don't also "all like Stroud." Where is Chris Simms when you need him?
Jesus Christ Mike! 🙄
Loud for Stroud.
Tepper well screw it up just wait.
Stroud should be the pick
Of course, they are going to take Young. He is the best quarterback available. KEEP POUNDING.
Two different play styles
If you want a QB that has "arm talent" (angles) and does really well off schedule, the pick Is Young.
If you want a smooth, accurate pocket passer with some mobility, then its Stroud
Panthers either trade down to 3 or 4, and draft Richardson.
Or they draft Young or Stroud #1 overall, 3 or 4 draft Richardson, then they trade (also receiving a 2nd and 3rd rd pick)
Doesn't matter. Two top guys. Their fans want Stroud. Texans fans want Stroud mostly. I see a no lose situation if both stick to those two guys.
If we take young I think it would be a big mistake. This may be a smokescreen to trade back with Houston cause everyone knows they want young
If we pick BY… every time we come up "short" whether for playoffs or SB, we'll all sing a different tune. When CJ takes the Texans to the SB, we'll feel like we were "short" changed. #carolinapanthers #panthers #keeppounding #davidtepper #scottfitterer #frankreich
Tepper will always fuck up every good thing that is built..let’s listen to the guy who’s hire Matt Rhule..these owners need to leave the decisions to the guys that are paid to do this stuff…welp, here’s to however many more years of losing in carolina…
WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE 2023 NFL DRAFT
THE CAROLINA PANTHERS SELECT
CJ STROUD, QUARTERBACK, OHIO STATE
#KeepPounding 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
I think Young is the right pick, not sold on Stroud, I’m a Ravens fan I HOPE we don’t trade up for him
It would take a Yes Man to think this way. When you're dealing with billionaires, they are hiring people to do their job and have opinions. They're putting people under contract for their experience and help them be successful. Tepper doesn't want Yes Men. He doesn't have the ego that Jerry Jones has. To think you know how they work is ignorant and awfully assumptive. Only weak men would not voice their opinion when they're paid to do so.
The Texans will be overjoyed if Carolina picks Young, LOL!
Panthers have hired the staff and are filling in the positions to make the best of whichever QB they finally pick.
It's always a gamble. But the young man that goes to Carolina will have a team ready for him.
My bet is stroud, BY is simply to small, not enough weight, not thick enough to have a long term career…..
100%
I hope it's true maybe the Bears can get the 1st pick again next year.
Tepper is a Pitt Grad. Could have Kenny Pickett last year. If Pickett becomes a star. Old Dave will kick himself .
Bryce is the guy
Vegas says shroud 🤔
Sorry bud, Panthers are getting CJ Stroud.
They've seen what undersized QBs like Bryce Young turn out like.
Your argument concerning Tepper is specious. The Panthers have made it clear that the final selection will be made by 1 vote cast by each of the 12 (or 13?) executives and coaches that have attended the QB pro days.
Tepper is a billionaire because he's a fast learner. He went off by himself and hired Matt Rhule and that blew up in his face. This time he simply set forth a directive concerning the direction he wanted the team to go in (Offense), and then he put together a hiring team that VOTED for Frank Reich (unanimously) to become HC.
Carolina's decision makers have put together a well thought-out process designed to get the team off the rails and on track to a Championship. Tepper will accept whichever QB wins the most votes from the team he, Reich and Fitterer have put together. It's that simple.
All I am hearing is that Bryce is the better QB. I also hear that CJ had better receivers, if that's the case, who caught the balls for Bryce and who has the better coach. I felt like Bryce had to run because he couldn't see over the lines and him moving around open up throwing lines lol 😁. I like Stroud because he is the only QB in this draft that came out and said, that he is a ball placement specialist and after watching film he's right. Stroud in 2 years had less passing attempts. However, has better passing yard per those attempts, has a better QB rating and has more touch down then Bryce with the same number of interceptions. Give me Stroud!
Man I hope they don’t take Bryce
Why as a panther fan, after all we’ve been through, would you want to take the risk with Bryce? He’s too small.
This constant narrative that Florio is trying to spin with Tepper and him being this huge dictator who will be the one determining who their QB is. Is the most dumb ridiculous line of thought I've ever seen. Quite honestly it's very tiring for him to constantly rehash it like it's the only valid opinion in existence. If Tepper is that dumb and arrogant to believe that he knows better than this coaching staff then Carolina is never gonna be a successful team while he owns them. It's as simple as that.
I swore this was ai. For some reason they don't look real.
Stroud.
They’re not drafting a 180 pound quarterback. As good as he may turn out to be, he should not be taking hits from 300 pound men.
bryce was made for houston and cj was made for carolina. either way when they play this szn its boutta be heat
It’s a smoke screen there taking stroud keep pounding.
I hope the Panthers take Bryce Young. I HATE the Panthers! They deserve to draft a smaller Baker Mayfield!
He wants carolina to draft young so bad it's kinda cringe lol he just blows off cj stroud like he isn't good
I suggest they choose CJ Stroud!
The way you guys talk about how these big decisions are made is weird… as if it’s going to be some big surprise to David Tepper on draft night. No, these decisions are hammered out in advance of the draft fellas, so that everyone is on the same page. Tepper makes his wishes known, the GM has his input, the Frank Reich has his input, and so on. They have countless meetings and hash out Young vs Stroud over and over and over. They come to a consensus, an agreement, and the name on the card come draft day is a surprise to no one who was involved in the decision making process.
But you guys are right in that Tepper does have the final say. If he has his mind dead set on either Young or Stroud, then he will get his guy.. Tepper is the boss, after all. I have a feeling that Tepper is going to defer to Reich on this one, though.
dudes 2 short for the NFL-
Does Florio ever shut up?
Have a kindergartener write this?
