This should not construed as absolving Young for his poor play but I was thinking the other day that before Carolina he had only played with powerhouse football teams. Alabama and Mater Dei. He's not showing any ability to elevate a team, but perhaps being on a strong football team can get him closer to operating like how he was expected? Then I think of stuff like the Rams are taking Stafford's contract and future with them one year at a time and what could someone like Sean McVay due for his career?
Do you really believe Tepper will admit the mistake and move on from his "investment" after 3-4 years at such a controlled financial impact?
I believe this has some legs.....
Yes and if his play does not improve I'll actually be surprised if he's on their team in 2025.
Teams are cutting losses and moving on quickly after failed big time QB investments with increased regularity. Different trade/draft capital but Russ Wilson, Zach Wilson, Lance, Justin Fields and Josh Rosen spring to mind over the last few seasons.
Add in Tepper being short fused and most of all fact they likely are sitting on top of the draft board and I'll say Young will need to play consdierably better to remain a member of the team next year.
