We're in trouble. Maybe Kalil isn't panning out, i was skeptical about that contract. Also I have a feeling that Big Cat never knows what's truly going on, other than what's being reported to him. If he doesn't like it he makes drastic decisions.

Unfortunately it seems to be the players, as it was under Hurney.

While having player input and them feeling a vested interest in the team can be a good thing; it doesn't seem like the Panthers know a middle ground under JR.

Huge contracts to aging veterans coming up! Future success be damned!

I mean Kalil and the rest of the Panthers have been on vacation for weeks and training camp hasn't even started. I'm not sure how you could come up with that hypothesis.

JR still remains the problem with this franchise. As much as TD and Olsen does for the community, the idea of just letting them go after the Smitty and JNo fiasco probably didn't sit well. But JR needs to realize this is a business so the next GM will over pay a couple of guys in their mid 30s. No, I don't want to see them go, but at the same time, they could stay for less.

Jerry Richardson has been, and is still in charge.  I believe his hand was behind a lot of the crazy contracts that Hurney put together, and he probably was right there next to Hurney in disbelief when Peppers decided to leave.  He's not going to get a yes-man, but he is going to get a second in command who will either be good at the cap/contracts (Hurney) or at scouting (Gettleman).

Hurney took at 1-15 team to the Super Bowl in two years.  Gettleman took a 6-10 team to a back-to-back-to-back division winner and a Super Bowl in three years.  So you can freak out, but JR hasn't done a bad job at finding GMs--the only other one he's hired was Bill Polian, who also did pretty well while he was here.

Now if he decides to give Rivera control of Players/Personnel, then you can begin the freakout.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
