Lance Taylor is our new WR coach

So we did sign someone from the college ranks, Stanford's running back coach for the past 3 years. But he has some pro experience working under Rivera and Prohel here as an assistant WR coach, so we kind of did build from within lol. He was also App's WR coach in 2009 when they set some school receiving records. Honestly I don't know anything about this guy, he seems unproven so we will see how it goes.

If he can light a fire under KB's and Funchess' asses then I'm good.

Perhaps a guy coming from the college ranks can better relate, and could be more in line with the mindsets KB, Funchess, or any other young receivers may have vs veterans. 

I liked Proehl a lot as the WR Coach, but this could be an interesting hire none the less.

So a former college division 1 wide receiver who overachieved and went from walk on to a team captain? If nothing else dude has a great work ethic I'll take it.

I see a double dip at RB could be coming , Fournette/ McCafrrey 

McCafrrey would essentially be a slot WR like Edleman, Panthers could be take a que from the ATL's offense.

how would we double dip at fournette and mccaffrey? They are both projected 1st rounders...

If the Panthers truly like McCaffrey more than Cook or Fournette then they will get McCaffrey with pick 8. Which I think is unlikely considering the other two probably fit our system of playcalling more.

Now if they were willing to change the playbook to adapt to McCaffrey skills then yes, it could be possible. I doubt highly that that happens though.

We don't know that.  Everyone here is making the assumption that whomever we pick needs to fit within the system that we have ben running.  However, Rivera and Gettleman have been clear that we need to and will be changing our system to better protect Cam.  So, since Cam was the central piece to our entire offensive scheme, much of what we are used to seeing will likely be different. 

I think this guy having worked directly with McCaffrey the last few years may signal a significant change in offensive philosophy for the Panthers.  I expect our offense will add some radical changes from what we have done in the past.  We won't abandon the old scheme completely, but I think we will adapt it to have a more diverse running game that is RB centered and not Cam centered.

To add to that, I think we will be involving the RB's much more in the passing game this year.  I don't think their primary purpose will be to stay in and block or be the check down option anymore, I think we will be designing more plays in which they are the primary passing option.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the RB fill the slot receiver role for us.  In that case, a guy like McCaffrey would be an ideal fit for that offense.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
