Mr. Scot

Couple other things from a quick scan of the staff page... Morgan is now listed as President of Football Operations. I don't recall seeing that particular title on him before. Ifit was there, I missed it. Jared Kirksey - a former Jags and Bucs scout hired a few years back - now has Cole Spencer's old Director of College Scouting title. Former safety Juston Burris is now listed as one of the team's Pro Scouts along with Adam Maxie, the son of one of the original Panthers safeties (Brett Maxie). Maxie isn't the only one on staff with "dad" connections. Mike Trgovac's daughter Jordan is now our Mid-Atlantic area scout. She's working alongside West area scout Caden McCloughan, the son of former Redskins GM Scot McCloughan (the guy who basically drank himself out of a job). Been a while since I've looked at this page. Definitely been some changes, and it won't surprise me if there are more.

Spencer was hired as Director of College Scouting under Fitterer and has run that department ever since. I thought it was kind of a head scratcher at the time because there seemed to be better people available. Can't say I'm sorry he's gone. There have been a few changes made now, which makes sense. We might be seeing a rework of the scouting department under Morgan and Tilis.

Most definitely not Juan has certainly done his share of those, but this isn't one of them.

Also...

On the flipside, despite being expected to pass, the proposal to ban the "tush push" play actually failed, reportedly due to some last minute politicking from the Eagles. Mind you, the results did come down to a razor thin margin... Would seem the Panthers voted to ban it.

UPDATE: Apparently didn't even make it to the vote...

Also...

Never been that big a fan of Cole Spencer honestly but he's steadily risen up the ranks ever since he got here.

His dad dealt with a fair number of injuries in camp or early season.

I'm not necessarily passionate about this particular change either way, but as mentioned, it's the NFL's tendency to overreact that bugs me.

Haven't seen news of a firing or anything. Could just be his contract ended.

Bu sometimes that "losing team" quiets the noise by winning their plyoff game. The NFL has an unfortunate habit of reacting to things that happen once in a while by making changes that affect thngs all the time. (like adjusting th rules anytime Tom Brady got hurt)

Yikes Wonder if the loss of Adam Peters is gonn have an effect on them.

Up for a vote by owners next week... An opinion from an old friend of ours... For or against, and why?

Were I a Bears fan, I might find that...ummm

Kinda figured. I'm just not quite sure what this mix of imagery is referencing Some of it does give off kind of a "Playboy" vibe, but the "Violation" tags and other stuff don't necessarily fit that. (unless you take your train of thought down some disturbing tracks)

Similar vibe...

Speaking of perplexing visuals, what in the literal hell?

Amusing notion

J Jonah Jameson chimes in...

The most common reason is, of course, the one referenced.

This might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference. ... Actually, no it wouldn't

Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King
