Mr. Scot

Unless he decides he wants to stay and is willing to play for less. I don't really think that'll happen but hey...

It just got interesting

The Panthers social media team has changed their Twitter handle. I'm guessing they'll change it back, but

At some point... I've said many times though that my preference for starting a discussion is to ask a question and let people give their thoughts. (as opposed to "Here's my opinion and you know I'm right so everybody deal with it!")

That's kinda the point. Belichick doesn't generally get talked into taking less. He doesn't like backing down from his asking price, and more often than not, people negotiating with him wind up getting the short end of the stick. If Fitterer successfully outnegotiated Belichick, that's...something

Wrong player, but probably the right position

Same

Correct me if I'm wrong... Breer is saying that Fitterer talked down Belichick

I feel like somebody's moving to safety. I don't know if it's Jackson, but it's somebody.

You're not.

Me today... "Need to get some stuff done... Gonna spend a couple hours working in my office..." "Hey, my phone went off...aaahh, it's probably nothin..." "There it is again...wonder if there's some sports news..." "Okay, I'm curious...maybe I'll just take a quick look..." "HOLY SH-T!!!"

His release isn't official till 4pm today so technically this could still happen.

Not so sure that happens here either...

Yeah, saw that. I think that also factors into Ellis' speculation as well.

We discussed something like this a while back, but I'm revisiting it with a "knowing what we know now" look. Regarding the current state of the O-Line, would you rather... - Try Taylor Moton on the left and Brady Christensen or Trent Scott on the right - Keep Moton on the right and try Brady Christensen on the left - Keep Moton on the right, put Christensen inside and try to find our franchise left tackle in the offseason Which of those sounds best to you? FYI: For what it's worth, our buddy Ellis has stated this: To be clear, this is not based on any kind of inside info, just an observation. State your case. If it were up to you, what direction are you going?

Pretty good article here by Athletic college football writer Andy Staples analyzing / summarizing the situation. No Trust, No Respect, No Wins Excerpt: Khan had an opportunity to pull the ripcord Tuesday on a situation that wasn’t working well before this incident but now has no plausible path forward. Perhaps Khan’s attorneys advised him that firing Meyer for cause could get messy and potentially more expensive if Meyer took legal action. Instead, Khan chose to keep Meyer for now, a decision which necessitated a statement. That statement makes no sense, but how could it? Even the most skilled public relations wizard couldn’t provide a logical explanation for this decision. The only thing the Jaguars can say is, “Oh well. We’re keeping him.” In college football, where Meyer won three national titles and is regarded as one of the best coaches in history, they pretend the sport is a morality play until a coach wins so much that he can commit amoral acts with impunity or a morally sound coach loses so much that he gets canned. The NFL isn’t like that. Unlike college football, which also is a multibillion-dollar business, NFL teams admit they’re part of a multibillion-dollar business. So let’s strip moral questions from this situation and look at it from a cold business perspective. Meyer, whose team was 0-4 following a Thursday night loss at Cincinnati, does not seem to be adjusting well to the NFL, where he can’t follow one Bosa brother with another and then sign Chase Young to keep one position room stocked.

I am, though it's fair to say that coaches don't go down the toilet without taking their team with them.

An update, posted in this thread since the Panthers dropping out of the Watson stakes was discussed herein. Some folks are gonna love this Keep in mind LaCanfora is very hit or miss when it comes to this sort of thing. In fact I think it might have actually been him who put out the bogus "Tepper will pay any price" story but I'm not dead certain.

Regarding Collins...

There was talk this might happen a while back but I thought it had passed. Yeah, he's probably worth a look.

Another theory... Possible, I suppose.

Ive seen speculation both ways. Tom Pelissero believes nothing's going to happen just yet, but guys like Lombardi and Silver seem to think otherwise. Me? Don't know, but I'm probably at a point where nothing would surprise me.
