Rod wants gritty defenseman, Eric wants more modern point producing defenseman... Who you think is gonna win out??? Lol

I was rooting for the Steelers just for Thielen's sake. Glad to have had him as a Panther. We've had two great former Vikings as Panthers now (Jared Allen and Adam Thielen).

I will definitely take Coker's rise over him having a nice little playoff run

I think he is wrong. I think they bring Mays back. Too valuable--unless he gets overpaid elsewhere, but we need a C and he seems to be on the same page with the Guards and QB--no, not spectacular, but solid in the run game. He will be 27 and to your point, has improved every year. Even back in college, he was in different systems anmake sure d played different positions-- Too early to move on from him. He could peak around age 30, so don't bail now. Some competition would create depth.

Glad to have seen him wear a Panthers jersey.

He wants to spend more time with his kids and J.T. O'Sullivan's wife.

I think everything worked out how it was supposed to work out

Agreed, an outside playcaller that could use some of Dave’s concepts and “big picture” while infusing some fresh ideas and more fluid within-game adjustments would be welcomed. I also think our running game became very predictable and stalled out towards the end. It looked like the playbook wasn’t deep enough and they didn’t do a good job of Bryce being under center/empty backfieding it way too much.

I like Morgan the person and obviously as a former player. As a GM it's been a mixed bag. 2024 draft was a stinker 2025 draft so far looks really good. FA class overall solid. But we've got way too much salary cap tied up in our OL for the results we've gotten offensively. I have no doubt he is going to continue to try and make strides for the defensive roster. But whether or not he continues to stand pat with this QB room is what will define him as Panthers GM IMO. I feel it's only a matter of when not if we are back to the same tough conversations about Bryce Young next season if we keep the QB room intact.

No playoffs = Styles Playoffs = somebody else

Bryce is IMO a little better than his numbers indicate but he's never going to win you a Superbowl (minus weird poo) from what we've seen so far. And I think the front office generally knows that. The very fact Morgan talked about making every room including QB better and being open to bringing in someone means that they aren't blind to Young's current play. They are hedging their bets he improves but yeah.

I'm sure he regrets leaving Carolina becuse he was non-existent after he left and he was a key part of Carolina's offense. Great guy and I wish him the best.

Hate that drop for Jimmy Horn (ball was behind him) but Jimmy should have been getting way more routes weeks ago over XL

This is a rare situation where the fans are probably more objective than the front office because Evero should be gone and Canales should give up play calling. Neither of these things will happen because Morgan and Tepper don't want to impact any momentum now that this team is finally somewhat relevant and competing.

no doubt, IF we ran Tmac/Thielen/Coker our offense would have been better. In fairness though, if we ran Tmac/a trashcan filled with used condoms/Coker it would still be more productive than having XL on the field.

That's true, was just thinking hypothetically if Thielen had come back in that David Moore role we would have had a little bit more productive offense on moving the sticks

Im signing Sky Moore just to be a returner

Pretty darn good trade for us in hindsight, had some short term issues for a while there esp with Coker immediately getting injured after the trade. But it worked out for the best.

Alec Pierce would be expensive but worth it aswell

nah, was a blessing in disguise cuzz they wouldnt have benched XL, Coker would have been a buried depth piece and never gotten opportunities.

When you get hired here it's: Make Bryce work (or else), from Big Tepp

I would prefer someone from the outside to help grow Dave or Idzik as a playcaller. He has some potential but there have been several games where he was simply outmatched by his opponent. Dan leaving it to Dave means I kind of doubt it will happen, but it would do this staff a lot of good if it did.

I was harping on finishing 1-3 after the bye. I didn’t extrapolate back 8 games and surely didn’t realize that it was a 2-6. Lol. Playoffs! But they showed up for the game pretty well. Yeah I understand the bar is raised competitively next year. I also understand you are anti Morgan but I liked a lot of what I heard in his press conference yesterday. He wants to build that defense. This Icky thing is a complication though.

FWIW my buddy knows a lot of people who work for the falcons and they seem to think they’re gonna get harbaugh if he wants to coach.
