According to who? Why wouldn’t they take more if they could get it? Especially trading to the Heat. This was definitely the best offer available.

Nuts.

I believe if Evero gets hired as an HC elsewhere we get a draft pick, so I’d be down with that.

Let the huddle meltdown commence.

Hoping that taking too long waiting for these guys in the playoffs doesn’t cost us on the coordinators.

Better poll would be how long until the next thread fishing for Bryce hate?

Dang, selfishly hoping Lions would lose just so we could finally find out where Ben Johnson is going.

I get the sense that Slowik isn’t in serious contention for any HC gigs this year. I think it’s just a year too soon for him.

Your logic taken to its final conclusion results in firing literally everybody in the building. That’s not how any of this works. Ever. There’s always good people in bad organizations and vice versa. But go ahead keep calling people idiots for saying “We don’t know so we aren’t stressing.” And yes, that applies to Buffalo too because we have literally no idea what to credit or blame Morgan for, that was the whole point. Some of us choose to be in wait and see mode instead of mopey doom and gloom.

A minute with all 3 timeouts is plenty of time to get in FG range.

Yeah that reasoning makes no sense. Sounds like Disner isn’t going to be Johnson’s GM no matter where Johnson goes. Washington already hired Peters.

I honestly have no clue what anybody’s responsibilities and levels of input were. Is there even a general consensus on duties of an assistant GM or is it entirely case by case? Legit question I have no fugging clue. Some people think Tepper overrode everybody on everything, and if that’s the case how can we make any educated guesses about anybody. Not saying that’s what happened, just think we should take a step back and be honest with ourselves that we really know jack poo.

Well it is logical. Fitterer isn’t the only person Morgan has ever worked with, and just because you work with someone who failed and got fired doesn’t mean you will repeat the same mistakes. The world is literally full of people who get promoted into positions that their predecessor was fired from. Assistant GMs, Assistant Coaches, Assistant Managers, Vice Presidents, etc. They aren’t all successes and they aren’t all failures. Unless somebody has some insider knowledge that Morgan was in Fitterers ear giving bad advice the whole time, I’m not sure why you would automatically assume he would be a train wreck.

Brandon Beane also worked under a GM that made some stupid decisions. Unless you have first hand knowledge of what were Morgan’s thoughts and decisions behind the scenes vs. Tepper/Fitterer/whoever, then what is the point fretting over it?

We need 4 new starting OL.

Well the premise that I responded to was “if he doesn’t want the job”…so that would be the reason. You’d just be interviewing him for appearances, which is a waste of everybody’s time. Also you really have no idea if the team has reached out to Harbaugh because he’s not an NFL coach and it wouldn’t be reported.

Can we get a list of the physically hot candidates? That’s who we should be focusing on.

Since I’m a Panthers fan, I hope the Panthers are the best team in football every year and I don’t really care if David Tepper falls back asswards into it. I don’t care if it’s Harbaugh as the coach or some dude I’ve never heard of, as long as the team is good. It’s weird seeing all the “fans” here who are hoping for failure or the team to be moved or whatever. Hoping the Falcons do well so that David Tepper learns some sort of lesson is weird. You don’t even know if Tepper tried to get an interview with Harbaugh. For all you know, Harbaugh could be Tepper’s top choice and Harbaugh just doesn’t want to coach here. I would define somebody who hopes Harbaugh “goes to Atlanta and owns the division for years” as a Falcons fan, not a Panthers fan.

To appease an internet message board of course.

This is such a weird mindset.

It’s interesting seeing some of the same people who want to heap all of the blame on Bryce Young admitting that maybe Baker wasn’t the problem.

Yeah everybody needs you to educate them that college is different from the NFL. You say “NFL open” because that’s the best you can do for our abysmal receivers to put as much of the blame on the QB as possible. Separation charts had been posted earlier in the season. It wasn’t good. Again, nobody’s in here absolving the QB of all blame. He’s missed throws. He’s accounted for his own share of sacks and mistakes. EVERY QB has. Some of us just choose to acknowledge the dumpster fire around him as well. If there’s anybody I’m in “wait and see” mode with it’s the rookie QB, not the vet OL whiffing on blocks, not the slow receivers quitting on routes, not the jag RBs. You can keep screaming bust for another season if you want because like it or not Young will get at least that. Sounds fun.

Ok now show all the blown blocks and jailbreaks from this supposedly average OL. Nobody is in here saying Bryce Young is perfect and hitting every open receiver. You clearly have an agenda if that’s what you took from my post. Edit to add: this “NFL-open” buzz term is something that has suddenly become very popular here this season. Might want to think about why that is. Could it be just the term “open” rarely describes our receivers?

Even if the OL gives 10 seconds of a clean pocket, what’s the difference if the slow receivers take 15 seconds to get to their spot? I’m clearly exaggerating with the numbers. The problem is the whole offense and pretty much every offensive player. The OL is bad, compounded by bad and slow receivers, compounded by RBs trying to do too much in the backfield, compounded by penalties and awful 1st and 2nd down plays, compounded by a rookie QB who has zero room for rookie QB mistakes, which puts us into more 2nd and 15, 3rd and 15 than I’ve ever seen in a season. If you’re in here saying this offensive line is performing adequately, I think you aren’t watching the games and have a bias. I’m not sure we’d be worse if we cut every single player.

I’m not sure how he “got away” with anything. He’s got a lot of egg on his face, and the league fined him. If I were the Jags, I would ban him from my stadium, but that’s up to them. The fan can also report it to the police, but that’s up to them and it would be pretty petty. In reality, the fact that he is so rich actually opens him up MORE to some frivolous lawsuit over a tossed beverage. This probably happens with normal fans at stadiums all the time and nothing ever comes of it and we never hear about it specifically because they are not rich public figures like Tepper.
