It's Quiet. Maybe a Little Too Quiet.

With the playoffs still in full swing and lots of head coaching vacancies, the Panthers making a change at OC is hardly newsworthy at all. Rivera has never struck me to be one about fanfare to begin with and at his age and with his experience, I doubt Norv wants some red carpet type treatment. They're both seasoned pros. I think they just want to quietly get to work.

Norv has to move all the way across the country.

I imagine that'll take some time.

There's nothing going on at BOA that he'd have to be around for anyway.

Scot you may know this better than me but how many other instances can you think of of a former HC becoming a coordinator for his own former coordinator as HC?

Quietly working out the details of Cam to the Browns for 1, 4, and more picks.

Saquon Barkley at 1, QB at 4, CMC moved to WR full time, LT at 24.

Offense officially evolved.

You think Cam is worth two top 5 picks in the same draft?

I'd probably have to think about that. I'm guessing it's happened, but I can't think of a particular instance.

I know when he took the Rams job, Dick Vermeil hired some former head coaches. I don't recall whether he actually worked under any of them or not.  I remember Vermeil getting the Eagles job out of college so probably not.

Turner and Mike Zimmer were actually colleagues with the Cowboys if I remember correctly, but obviously neither of them was the head coach there. And of course, Dom Capers wound up going to work for Tom Coughlin, but that wasn't a former colleague thing so much as it was just Capers getting owned.

It's certainly an intriguing question.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
