Can I Just Say A Word About Ricky Proehl?

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.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By Jmac · Posted

      Joe Burrow hasn't played for three quarters of the season and very little in the pre-season. He comes back and posts some very good numbers and leads his team to victory. That's what a #1 franchise QB should be doing, not whatever is going on here. The eye test doesn't lie. Throw out the rose colored glasses and believe what your eyes are telling you. Five more games and then a decision needs to be made on a certain players permanent status.  Do what is right for the team and fiqure out how to improve that one very critical position. Please don't fug it up this time.

      I’m all for bringing a QB in but who? The FA list is ass. The draft class isn’t great I’d take a flier on Trey Lance and if available in 4th someone like Leavitt or Mateer? I never wanted Dalton back especially at the contract Dan gave him. He’s utterly useless on the field and his cap hit isn’t nothing. He provides nothing.  There’s a lot of bad QB play this year and passing is down. Guys worth trading for are most likely not going to get traded.  As much as many of you don’t want to hear it our best option is to decline the 5th year option. Give Bryce 2026 while we have him under contract. Then in 2027 either sign Bryce (tag would be an option. Don’t repeat the Darnold mistake) or draft another QB and do it all again

      The league did Jerry Richardson dirty. But Jerry Richardson played himself. He went out of his way at every opportunity to be as subservient to the shield as humanly possible even when the league went out of it's way to make it abundantly crystal clear that they did not want to see Cam Newton be the face of the league to the point they had the refs do their bidding. If Jerry had any backbone he would have taken the gloves off with the league after SB50. But he just took it on the chin.
