Saw that an old opponent of ours, Jahri Evans, is set to retire. Evans played a while for the Saints before moving to the Packers.  I remember back when the Saints had Evans and Carl Nicks (later Ben Grubbs).  They had some really solid OL combinations but couldn't keep them together for all that long.

In other 'old friend' news, it's looking like the Colts are going to go from hiring the OC from the Super Bowl loser to the one from the Super Bowl winner.  They're said by several analysts to be targeting Philly OC (and inaugural Panthers QB) Frank Reich.  If that happens, the Eagles will be losing both their QB Coach (DeFilippo is now the Vikes OC) and their OC.  Mike Shula and Ken Dorsey are available of course, but speculation is that the Eagles go in a different direction.

And apparently coach firing season isn't over yet.  The Buccaneers reportedly just fired their defensive line coach (a guy who was coaching at Notre Dame when Lake Dawson was there, oddly enough).  Gotta wonder if they'll give our old friend Brentson Buckner a call.

Where did you see the Jahri Evans news? Can't find that anywhere. Always interested when probable hall of famers retire.

How is it Panthers seem to have high in demand people a la McD, Beane...yet also people like Shula, Hurney who will never qualify to do what they do for any other team. Just seems the wrong people get promoted while others only get promoted when they move teams.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
