McCoy is a Panther


Recommended Posts

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2019/06/03/gerald-mccoy-explains-why-he-picked-the-panthers-over-browns-ravens/

The Panthers pulled off a coup in free agency today, signing coveted defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. McCoy had offers from the Browns and the Ravens, but in the end he decided to pick Carolina instead. McCoy says choosing the Panthers was about the fit and the chemistry and he seems to have a lot of faith in head coach Ron Rivera.

Here’s what McCoy had to say about his decision, per David Newton at ESPN.

“Carolina was a great fit for me. Being around the guys we just meshed & I love the instant chemistry we had. They have a tradition of having a great defense. I love the players & I believe in #1. Ron Rivera is a proven coach & can’t wait to get started.”

In related news, Jourdan Rodrigue at the Charlotte Observer reports several players had lunch with McCoy on Friday, including some team captains, which played a huge part in persuading him.

There is another thread for this. 

We are talking gameday dress code in this one.

Why Gerald McCoy Will Love the Panthers (and Vice Versa)

• The Panthers felt good about their situation on Gerald McCoy over the weekend—and the celebration outside Marty Hurney’s office on Monday afternoon showed it was well-placed. This, of course, was telegraphed all along. McCoy identified the Ravens and Browns at the outset, and planned to visit both, then reset and either sign with one of them or re-open the process. He didn’t sign with Baltimore or Cleveland, obviously, which made the next team he’d visit the favorite to get him. And in Carolina, McCoy will get to play in an aggressive upfield scheme that fits his game, next to an interior presence, in K.K. Short, who’ll take some pressure off him, and under a coach who knows how to manage older vets. Plus he gets to play the Bucs twice. Which is to say that this makes all the sense in the world.

    • We were very banged up going into that Rams game. Our second best player (Horn), our best safety, and both starting ILBs were out. I feel like our defense has really been impressive considering a year ago. If our offense learns how to be balanced like they were against the Rams, we can honestly beat anyone. Those losses to the Saints and 49ers may have been what we needed to figure out that when we depend too much on either running exclusively or passing exclusively that we are no good. That Rams game showed what we can do when we are in sync offensively and it was so much fun to watch. If that offense shows up this week then go ahead and cancel your plans the second weekend in January as you will have a game to watch.
    • and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards.  That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup. 
    • Yep, the board has amnesia to the weekly swings and declarations made.  The same cast of characters has been talked about vastly different repetitively and you only have to go back as far as the game before the last one....and just keep repeating that pattern largely backwards.  I personally feel confident that this team is not bad and it is not good.  And while that is nice to get back to be out of the literal dumpster......I don't view this team as an average team w/ a puncher's chance.  All average teams are of different molds.  We are more the, if a really good team plays bad, you will lose to us variety.  We aren't bad enough where you can get away with a bad day vs us anymore.
