This does bring to mind a thought I had earlier in the month---How did everyone spend so much time bashing Shula when Proehl seems to have been given a pass? Look at Benjamin's play and attitude  issues, the lack of development in that Funchess character, and the disappearance of Philly Brown?  Where was K. Garrett at the end of the season?  What about Byrd--a talented slot WR with the skillset to beat out Brown? 

We blamed Shula, and perhaps rightly so, but the OL cards he was dealt + the injuries, an underperforming WR corps, and a regressing QB with poor mechanics---Hard to win with a 29 year old RB that averaged 3.8 yards per carrry and an all-pro TE.

Personally, I wonder what Dorsey is going to say during his annual review. 

So funny... I almost posted similar thoughts in the Proehl thread. Love the guy personally, but wonder if he's a better scout than developer of said talent.

As for realistic hires from Mr.Scot's list, I'd be happy with:

DB: Horton, Thurman or Al Harris

WR: Cam Turner

QB: Dennison

Someone asked about Peanut Tillman in the latest "Ask Bryan" (link). Here's the question and response.

Hi, Bryan. With Coach Wilks being promoted to defensive coordinator, will we possibly see Charles Tillman become the secondary coach? Hope you guys have a good offseason. - James in Atlanta

Tillman did a touch of coaching in the form of a consulting role last season, spending a couple of weeks showing the Panthers secondary some tricks of the trade he acquired over 13 NFL seasons. Tillman spent that final year in 2015 with the Panthers but spent his first 12 with the Bears. He signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Bears upon his retirement and was a commentator for Chicago's FOX affiliate throughout the season.

Tillman doesn't officially have coaching experience but certainly seems to have the acumen - much like he also has for television work. It isn't clear if he has interest or if there is interest coming from the Panthers, who could want to go for more of a veteran coach or perhaps for continuity in the form of current assistant Curtis Fuller. With Ricky Proehl's resignation, the Panthers also looking for their next wide receivers coach. Time, as they say, will tell.

Going back and rereading Strickland's article: one point I came away with.

In discussing the "continuity" option, Strickland mentions Curtis Fuller, but not Richard Rodgers.

Now, reading too much into an article like this is a mistake. And I'd definitely be hesitant to make broad, sweeping conclusions out of a simple paragraph answering a fan question.

Still, it's worth making a mental note of...

I'm not sure I really think this but it could be giving a long shot candidate some practice interview time and brush up on his resume. McDermott received several interviews even he knew were going nowhere but likely helped him land this job.

Another potential DB coach available...maybe.

The Chargers were interviewing DB Coach Ron Milus as an in house option for DC but chose Gus Bradley instead. Unknown if he'll stay on as their DB coach or move on.

If the name sounds familiar, it should. Milus was on John Fox's staff during Fox's last few seasons as Panthers head coach.

Would he want to come back under a new regime? Unknown.

FYI: Milus was once fired by the Broncos for "clashing" with his defensive backs.

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
