Can I Just Say A Word About Ricky Proehl?

Recommended Posts

Not for nothing, but I'm sitting here watching the Panthers' Sunday morning show, and they're featuring a story on Ricky Proehl. As I watch him working with the receivers, miked up, and a camera following his every move, I am reminded what made him such a great offensive weapon for us when he played. It's also what makes him a gem of a coach for us now, and probably the perfect guy to tutor a bunch of youngsters who are just learning the ropes of the NFL game. I'm very thankful he's still a part of the organization!

Ricky was one of those guys that helped us get to the Super Bowl. Every great team has those role players that are better than the other team's role players. He is a guy with a great reputation for guys in their 20s. He played in three Super Bowls and our players remember watching him.

 

He was also one of the nicest guys I've ever met at Training Camp. Stephen Davis blew off some kids in 2004 and Ricky ran him down and said "Cmon Stephen, do it for me". Davis was still reluctant but Ricky wouldn't let him go.

I love RP and hope we can hang on to him for awhile....wonder if he has any aspirations for OC or if he just loves being a WR coach.

 

Bet he'd be better than Shula but if he wants to stay and be our WR for a long time I'm very cool with that!

Not sure.

 

 

I can tell you the Panthers are very high on the futures of Proehl and Dorsey.

 

That is one of the most exciting things about being a fan right now.  Not just the on-field potential, the coaching staff potential.  One of those two will be an offensive coordinator in the next 5 years.

How is his overall offensive mind?  Does he have what it takes to eventually move up to an OC candidate in the league?

I have no doubt he'd be a good OC. He's the only guy on offense I'd worry of losing to that type opportunity, though Carolina doesn't have to let him interview and he has ties to the organzation and the area.

    • I'm used to people crapping on the panthers in public spaces. I used to have to defend Cam fugging Newton until I was blue. I come here to talk Panthers and it is literally the same 5 posters you see in this very thread saying the same things, every single day. it's not about having tough skin, it's the constant negativity by the same people. its boring, its annoying, it clogs discussions. this place has really changed and I regret signing back in. I only have like 5 mins a day to spend consuming panthers content and its always the same posters and same crap. we used to have a 6'6 gunslinging battery ram, and he would constantly get dragged through the mud for not being enough, or doing this or that or not diving on a fumble. at the end of the day, it's a people problem. people love to bitch and complain. they'll never be content, they'll never just sit back and root the team on. we had one of the best teams in the NFL on the ropes to move onto the next round of the playoffs while the stadium was alive and well and that wasn't even enough to just enjoy the show. 
    • I mean Stroud had a down year, but it was still better than Bryces best year
    • Anybody else see that the panthers have the fewest miles travelled of any team this year? Don’t know it matters too much but it can’t hurt 🤷‍♂️
