Who is in charge of the panthers right now?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • They oughta be more pissed about Coen lol bowles is old school with an aging defense and has lost two OCs  …. The fan base always wants the shiny toy.  
    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
