Sean McDermott says he was surprised when Joe Webb became available. Natural fit for Bills.

 

McDermott said he brought former members of the Panthers to Buffalo with him because they were wired with right DNA. Tolbert, Webb, etc...

 

McDermott goes out of his way to mention special teams as a strength for Carolina. Palardy was impressive last week; people keep mentioning.

 

McDermott on Cam: There's familiarity there but the problem is I'm not out there playing.

 

Sean McDermott said biggest difference in Carolina defense is return of Peppers and Munnerlyn.

 

McDermott says team tried to get Captain Munnerlyn, Julius Peppers back at one point when he was still there

McDermott says he had great teachers in Ron Rivera and Andy Reid to get him ready to be a head coach.

 

McDermott joked that NFC South was where defensive coordinators "went to die" because of all of the great QBs in the division.

 

McDermott then makes gallows-humor joke about going to division that includes Tom Brady.

 

 

Jourdan Rodrigue Retweeted Joe Person

Jokes that now, he has to face Tom Brady twice a year. "I guess it's just par for the course for me."

McDermott said Christian McCaffrey is going to have a great career. Calls him talented and smart. He will be with Panthers for a long time.

 

McDermott says McCaffrey is going to have a great career, class act on and off the field. Says the Bills scouted him for the draft as well.

 

McDermott said he was impressed with Cam in Week 1. "He looks as strong as ever and fast as ever.. ... I thought he looked good."

 

McDermott: "I'm looking forward to seeing Ron before the game. I have incredible respect for him as a man and as a coach."

 

Next up on conf call: Brandon Beane.

Brandon Beane on the line now -said he and Marty Hurney shared some good laughs during trade. "Neither of us wanted to screw the other over"

 

Brandon Beane says there is always a special place in his heart for not only the Panthers, but both North and South Carolina.

 

Beane said he felt for Dave Gettleman and feels he will land somewhere else if he wants to get back in. "Nothing is shocking" in the NFL.

 

Beane said he has talked to Dave Gettleman but didn't want to share details. Did say Gettleman is taking time to decompress.

 

Beane: "My voice cracks a bit when I talk about how appreciative I am of Mr. Richardson."

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
