charlotte observer reporting special teams coach Richard Rodgers job is in jeopardy. 

 

Panthers special teams coordinator Richard Rodgers said Sunday he had no word on his future with the team after the unit finished at or near the bottom of a half-dozen categories in the 2014 regular season.

“That’s up to the powers that be. I just coach football,” Rodgers said.

 

Carolina’s special teams unit finished last in the league in net punting average and punt return yardage allowed. They were next-to-last in kickoff return yardage allowed. In three other categories – kickoff return average, gross punting average and opponent’s gross punting average – Carolina finished in the bottom-quarter of the league.

I'd say that deserves its own thread.

 

This one is mainly for news from other teams.

It would be insane if he is retained.  As bad as Shula is, he is worse, our ST essentially did nothing right this season.

If it's Joe reporting than we can be pretty sure he was fired after the Arizona game.

Not worried about Todd Bowles at all. His defensive philosophy is too risky to sustain success. Plus former coordinators don't always have a strong performance out of that particular unit once they become a head coach. Mike Smith was a defensive coach too.

Starting with this bit of news you probably won't like to hear...

 

Word is the Atlanta Falcons may now be targeting Todd Bowles in their head coaching search.

 

That could be trouble.

 

He coached a heck of a defense the past few years.  That is worrisome for us!

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
