That actually made me laugh. You guys are too much.

Honestly, I understand and acknowledge huddlers' fears, but every coach starts off as an assistant---even the great ones. Who is to say Fuller isn't the next great football mind? Guys like Ray Horton have had their opportunities to move up, and so I don't think that it's necessarily wise to reject someone out of hand because they are younger and less experienced. We have to see what he does first. Plus, it's not like we've had terrible nickel backs over the years.

I'm withholding judgment.

I agree and at the end of the day, I'm a Panthers fan; whatever the record, no matter who's coaching or playing.  I just like to laugh and share that with others.

Well, it's like my 18-year-old tells me in so many words ever so often:

Being "old" and experienced is overrated. It's a new day.

He then points to YouTube, Instagram and other social media as exhibit A for the young and successful. I know that this train of thought doesn't necessarily translate to coaching, but let's just say that sometimes youth brings much needed new energy and ideas to the table to bring out the best in people.

Experience brings with it "I've seen that move before. Here's how you beat it."

Our young players have plenty of energy. And with Wilks, they also had a great source of knowledge and instruction.

Will Fuller be that also?

Unknown.

I think Steve Wilks will still be hands on with the defensive backs, having a guy he knows and has worked with for nearly four years isn't just about continuity, it could very well be a good hire. 

I can't say it one way or another, but bringing in a ''name'' doesn't mean the DBs will automatically just become great. If the coaches and players respect him then I'm good with that.

Fuller has been playing or coaching for a long time.  I doubt there are any moves that he hasn't seen and doesn't know how to beat. The only question is, how good is he at teaching the younger players? 

 

Given that Wilks will be the guiding hand on the d, I don't think this is much of an issue really.

Lol Mike Shula, your next Carolina Panthers Head Coach. 

All jokes aside, if it meant getting a new OC, Ron can move to DC and let Getty pick up a OC.  

Let Shula stand there with his bifocals on, his thumb up his butt and his mind in paradise.

one thing Rivera has been pretty good at is picking his staff,  I trust his decision because he knows Fuller better than I do. I dont see any reason to think Curtis Fuller cant succeed.

Are you sure about that. Because you know we got some guy name Mike Shula as our offensive coordinator.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
