TBH, with all of my criticism of Rivera, I have to say, having followed McCoy since college, I think he and Rivera are kindred spirits and that will work in our favor.  My criticisms of Rivera have revolved around his coaching, but I've always maintained that I believe he us an outstanding human being and high-character individual, and from everything I know of McCoy, he is the same.

This would he a huge steal for us at this point, if we can pull it off.  The fact that we even have him in for a visit is exciting.

I think one of the selling points is that he will be next to KK and Poe.  They will be plenty of opportunity for production for all.  If he is looking at HOF he can keep that production at a high level joining this group.  Not getting as many double teams should interest him at this age.  

The other thing that could be crucial is this signing would take some pressure off Cam coming of another surgery.  With a top ten defense he can just manage the game at some point and not be Superman every game. 

Man this would be huge.

Just read about only reason McCoy is visiting is to get Browns and Ravens to go into bidding war. So far compensation was not more than what Suh received near 10 mil. So why bring a guy in if we really probably have no chance at signing him?

Take a break from the internet. If we sign him, great. If we don't, so be it. Anyone can put poo on the net like that about bidding wars

Because, obviously, playing for the Panthers would be a lot better than playing for the Browns (too many egos waiting to explode) or the Ravens (a team in transition.)

We're likely going to pay him for more than one year, so that is a bonus too.

it would have been helpful if TD had retired and taken a role with the team, or was still here.

He and McCoy are good friends. 

Hopefully they've talked and TD put in a good word for us. I don't think he was too bitter or anything like that.

Well, if the other teams have only been offering 10 mil, what happens when we come in and offer 12-13?

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
