S.I.’s Albert Breer on David Tepper’s Role in Bryce Young’s Benching | The Rich Eisen Show 

FINALLY. Rational thoughts from the national media. Thank you, Albert.

Why are we dancing around it? Frank wanted CJ and Tepper wanted Bryce, so we got Bryce

Breer is just excellent. Good inside knowledge and talks through things really well.

i can't wait for the Panthers Netflix documentary in 10 years and see all this come out.

Mel Kiper rated Young the number one offensive prospect in the 2023 draft. If that's not the kiss of death, I don't know what is.

Albert has pierced thru the nonsense. HC watched the LAC film, saw QB1 just was not working, knew it had to make a change. Again, it is impossible to eval the RB, TE, and WR groups with QB play that bad. Impossible. OL was supposedly grading out OK to PFF. So what are you left with moving forward? Gotta make a change to ID the problems. And please, please stop brining up the haul CAR gave up to get the guy. This current regime had nothing to do with that and cannot get a mulligan anyway.

Canales doesn’t want to get fired either I’m sure…like you stick with Bryce he plays bad for another season, you’re fired before the trade deadline or surely by the end of the year guaranteed. So…

Clearly a top level decision when deciding to bench a guy you spent so much capital on just a year and half ago. Feel bad for Bryce because he really didn't get a decent team to grow with.

Why does Rich constantly defend Tepper? Not a good look for The Rich Eisen Show. Tepper is the worst NFL owner ever, he’s impetuous and egotistical. 6 head coaches and 9 starting quarterbacks since he’s bought the team? Isn’t that enough evidence to prove it? So quit defending him, Rich.

Rich, this has happened before. Doesn't anyone remember JaMarcus Russell.

Say what you want about Frank Reich, but I guarantee you Frank didn’t want Bryce Young. If you’re hiring a head coach who is a former NFL Quarterback, you should be deferring to his judgment on QBs. Young is short, thin, not fast, doesn’t have a plus arm, and played on a stacked team his entire college career. “But, he’s smart.” Smart doesn’t help you enough when 300-lb DL are chasing and hitting you.

I really don’t get why everyone is acting so surprised, on this very channel, the comment was that Panthers didn’t even look competitive, the QB tape is horrendous, basically an injury waiting to happen, playing in an empty stadium because the fans don’t want to see this sh!t show, keep him playing for what? Text book sunk-cost fallacy. Regardless how we got here, benching him is the best for everyone involved, including Bryce Young….

Why doesn't it make sense Tepper wanted Bryce gone? Makes more sense than the rookie HC telling the owner to get rid of him after 2 games.

If anyone watched the first two panthers games, 1- they be kicking themselves for wasting time on watching them, 2- they would completely understand why Bryce is benched, and 3- Panthers aren't done with him. BY will sit this year and get to see Andy be a pro. Maybe Bryce will start in the later games this season when the Panthers are out of playoff contention completely.

Young QB,young head coach ,young owner..all will have to learn and mature before any kind of success happens.

The equivalent of a code red.

It's not his height. Kyler Murray can do it. This isn't a talent or team thing, it's a laws of physics thing, either someone at 5'10" can see the middle of the field or they can't and if one can do it all can do it. Russell Wilson can do it too. Most linemen towers over most QBs anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a couple inches or several, either you can see over something or you can't. Most QBs can't- they see through the line between the linemen. So it's not his height.

Carolina got screwed by the NFL allowing this guy to buy the team this was once a proud well run organization under jerry Richardson they made 4 NFC championship games with two superbowl appearances in their first 23 years of existence every since tepper they've been abysmal

Tepper is all over this, code Red.

Nothing surprising about Young failing. The big majority of 1st Round QBs do fail the team which drafts them.

David Tepper ordered the Code Red.

When the boss is an integral art of choosing a high impact employee and that guy doesn’t deliver he HAS EVERY F RIGHT to ask/demand to bench/fire him.

🙄 Bryce's current film is practically the same film he put up last year. 🤦 Physically, Bryce is the same as he was in Alabama. 🤯 Psychologically, Bryce cannot adapt to the NFL, but every deficiency Breer mentioned (pushing the ball down field, not seeing over the middle of the field, and bad internal clock along with bad footwork) can theoretically be coached out of him and/or be compensated with play designs. 🙍 Benching Bryce is a vote on "no confidence" in him and an indication the HC, OC, GM, and Tempest Tepper, have just about given up on him as their franchise QB, and maybe, they are correct. 🙅 However, neither Bryce nor the Panthers gain anything meaningful from this short-sighted decision. 🙎 If he is the Panthers' future, Bryce needs to be "coached up" and play through his psychological hangups and get a chance to defeat some weak teams in the schedule, such as the Raiders, Redskins, Broncos, and Giants, before the Bye Week.

To this day, the only long standing, good Alabama quarterback was Ken Stabler. Stop drafting Alabama qbs so high. They're 3rd or 4th round picks. They're good because of the system.

I would still like to know if he choose young over stroud when the whole fanbase wanted Stroud to begin with

Does anybody know who the back up in Carolina even is right now?

Maybe Dalton does it well or certainly better than he was & he sits behind and learns for a year or 2 and shows it by playing well in preseason & getting his 5th year picked up. Not a Carolina fan, but I always try to remain positive and be optimistic.

Just admit the truth like the Panthers have- Bryce is a bust the end!

Tepper is like a kid with a new fish tank. He can't keep his grubby hands out of the fishbowl and the fish keep dying.

Dude is wrong. Tepper is why he was drafted. Tepper gave up on him so he was benched. Yes the couch wanted him gone, but its Tepper.

When it comes to football decisions, Never listen to your Wife. She has one job, to go shopping.

Bryce's re-entry point cannot be this season!!!

Bryce looked horrible out there and you got all these people out here defending him smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

The logic is simple.... Bryce Young is not good enough or experienced enough to help a badly constructed roster. It's not a good idea to have him playing right now. Same with most rookies, they need to learn first.

i hate how some media tries to say the organization failed him or he wasnt ready to start, like it happens all the time in the nfl dumpster fire teams will go and draft qbs at #1 and throw them in week 1 but they never have nothing to say about it until a #1 qb does bad and gets benched then want to put all the blame on coaches and everyone else except the qb himself. then they try to compare him to baker mayfield, bro mayfield came in right after the browns went 0-16 he was a starter from day 1 went 6-10 the next year he lead his team to a wild card spot and even beat the steelers in that time, there is no comparison. you cant be a nfl qb and go from bad 1 year to worse the next and with a better o line, and the pff has panthers o line ranked high after these 2 games. bryce just aint it

Serious question, not trying to be snarky or denigrate Breer. Why don’t reporters in these interviews just say “I have no idea whether or not Tepper ordered Bryce Young be benched”? Do they not want to sound like their sources are bad? Do they not want to indirectly reveal sources (so if they don’t know then maybe they don’t have a close source so that narrows down the list of who their sources are)? I am getting a little annoyed at these circumspect answers and I’m just wondering if I need to treat it as a fact of the business

If Daniel Jones can play, then Bryce can play…

DJ AINT HAPPY WITH CALEB RIGHT NOW,I KNOW HE FEEL LIKE IN CAROLINA

The NFL need to stop taking QBs that are under 6 foot tall. Drew Brees and Kyler Murray are anomalies. Baker was a 2nd round talent or late 1st. This poor kid is in a David Carr situation. Although he might be a complete bust

Tepper makes ALL the decisions...THAT is the problem. He does NOT know what he is doing...but he's really rich, and that's all that matters.

I just wanted to keep Baker Mayfield

Rich must want stock tips from Tepper...talk to any Panther's fan in the Carolina's. No one likes Tepper and we wish he would sell the team. No doubt in my mind Tepper atleast had a part in benching him. He's afraid of season ticket holders cancelling their PSL's and the stadium is more empty than last year. It's only about the money for him.

People need to look at it like this....would you play a injured/compromised QB? BY is not physically injured but he is MENTALLY. His confidense is shot and they have been playing him when he's a qb that would benefit a ton sitting a year or two to gain confidense in a system. Ideally you do that BEFORE you ruin his confidense but hey that works in the Marines so....🤷‍♂️😅

David Tepper has replace the departed Dan Snyder as the worst NFL owner!

Only the panthers rational lets expose the guy, throw him under the bus and then on top of that blame him, we traded the farm to get him but we didn’t think he needed a no.1 WR…? Or OL? Oh maybe a few plays here and there he actually likes??! No can’t do that. Just baffling how they do business anymore as a fanatic of the team it’s so irritating like CMC, Moore, burns, Luvu, chinn, just a few names like these guys should not be elsewhere how can we honestly look at our roster and be like yeah I’m good 😂💀 okay this ownership has got to go I cannot believe this is the reality they live in right now

Sorry it takes a TEAM to WIN!! Can’t put all this on Bryce… d- line sucks!!! New Orleans scored I repeat scored 47 points on the Panthers!! You got these grown behind men that make more money each season than some people make in a lifetime!! My solution would be if you don’t perform .. I am taking 5k from your salary each game you played and have as a back up some flag football players who are going to WANT TO PLAY and PERFORM!! Sorry some of these guys have gotten a little bit toooo comfortable and don’t care if they lose…still gonna get that check regardless!!

Tepper needs to sell the team!

Andy Dalton isn't going to play well. The team still stinks.

Height not it,he played in SEC evan Neal play for giants these line didn't grow anymore he destroyed that conference it's confidence and his first time failing at football its not a perfect scenario Purdy would fail too if he didn't have all that talent around him ,Tom Brady and Cam Newton only QBs who had a 1# guy for a short time ,except Tom time in Tampa CJ had 3 stud receivers

This guy may have all of the money in the world… but when it comes to football… He shouldn’t be part of the club..

Dalton will get injured and Young will be right ba k out there, lmao

So they keep bringing this guy back because he's cheap? Amazing all the comments from his family in this comments section too

100%

Wifey pick?
