David Tepper Believes Bryce Young Can Still Win 'Multiple' Super Bowls For Panthers
When Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper traded up to draft quarterback Bryce Young with the No.
1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, he proclaimed the Alabama product was the guy who could bring the franchise "multiple" Super Bowl titles.
With the 25-year-old Young entering his fourth season, Tepper hasn't wavered from that belief.
"I think he has a lot of talent, and with the right weapons and the right situation, yeah," Tepper said in a rare news conference with reporters on Wednesday.
Young is 14-30 as the team's starting quarterback and the Panthers have yet to sign him to a long-term contract extension.
Young is under contract through 2027 after the team picked up his fifth-year option.
Tepper declined to say if the Panthers have offered Young a long-term deal — one that would reaffirm the organization's believe that he is worthy of being a franchise quarterback.
But Tepper is pleased with the way Young progressed in his third season, leading the Panthers to the NFC South title and snapping a seven-year playoff drought before losing 34-31 to the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the playoffs.
Young threw for 264 yards and a touchdown and also ran for a score against the Rams, but Carolina fell on a late touchdown pass from league MVP Matthew Stafford .
Young beat the Rams earlier last season, and finished with the best statistical numbers of his career surpassing 3,000 yards passing with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
"He has performed at a high level against high-level competition," Tepper said.
"It seems to bring the best out in him.
Bryce is the type of guy who doesn't feel the pressure.
You saw that against the Rams twice (last year).
