    Stewart, bc he previously worked in NE and was the one that checked in with them about Gilly.

    I was referring to the contract negotiations guys. Getting Gilmore to come here was more Gilmore than anyone else. Not giving him credit for that. Even if you do that would be the only thing he could try to steal credit for.  That's not going to cut it.

    Idk, I know the easy answer is "he was a Rhule associate so good riddance," but I thought he had some good qualities in his own merits.  He's the reason we were able to swing the Gilmore trade for nothing.  As someone else said, his contacts around the league were mentioned by our organization as being a big asset more than once.  And i honestly never viewed him being here as a Rhule guy, i just thought his arrival happened to coincide with the Rhule era...  i had no idea they had history together.  I wonder what happened?

    Was that Stuart or Sulamani or however you spell his name?

    Doesn’t have to go anywhere if he doesn’t like the situation. I don’t disagree with you that he thinks Wilson can be fixed. I just disagreed that he went to Denver in spite of Wilson. Contract/draft pick wise, Wilson is basically locked into the QB spot for 3 (maybe only 2) years. If he didn’t want to work with Wilson at all, he’s better to wait a year and get hired somewhere else next year.

    He went for the money and to bolster his ego. He doesn't care whether Wilson is the qb or not because he didn't sign the guy. If Wilson still sucks Payton can always say Wilson is just garbage and can't be fixed. That's Denvers problem not his.

    That’s not what I mean. The article implied Payton didn’t want Wilson. I’m saying if he didn’t want Wilson (fixing <> replacing him), he would have gone elsewhere because he’s stuck with 3 years of Wilson.

    Where is he going to go? It's either Wilson or Murray.  So his ego thought that Wilson would be his best shot to win.   Payton is not what he thinks he is.

    Mock drafts are only somewhat believable once the evaluation periods gets going in full bore(usually post-Combine). Then all the scouts and FO types start leaking info or the interest about specific players becomes more obvious so that the mock drafters can be even remotely accurate.

    They are never accurate.  If any get 1 pick right it's just plain luck.

    Any and everything associated with Matt Rhule needs to be vanquished and removed so far and from the Panthers that his name will only be the distant memory of a plan gone bad.

    There's still a few of Rhule's players around but I like what Teppers got cooking.

    I don’t think the Wilson story is true. He’s stuck with Wilson for 3 years at a minimum. You don’t take the job if you can’t work with Wilson.

    His ego is larger than Wilson's. He is arrogant enough to think he can fix him enough to win with him.  Also Denver is a much better organization than Arizona.  Payton makes bank either way.

    It is both good management practice and good leadership.  Every competent manager should be identifying and training his own replacement.

    Absolutely, we all do in the business world. In football however it's not been a common practice.

    Unless you already have somebody that's been at least somewhat groomed for that role, that's a pretty difficult thing to do in one year.

    It is. That is why I am concerned about how they are going to go about doing this. It will be an interesting little experiment to say the least.
