The most important info at the moment...

 

Monday Morning Quarterback - Week 13

Quote

If the Panthers make a change, I wouldn’t be surprised to see owner David Tepper, who’s got a strong relationship with the Krafts, to try and tap into the Patriot pipeline. In my talks on these things, New England OC Josh McDaniels and scouting czar Nick Caserio have both been linked to Carolina.

Not sure anything is set in stone yet. It all sounds kinda fluid.

MARTY HURNEYG, CAROLINA PANTHERS

The Panthers are expected to retain Marty Hurney as GM after firing coach Ron Rivera on Tuesday.

"We are going to take a comprehensive and thorough review of our football operation to make sure we are structured for long-term sustained success," owner David Tepper said in a statement. "Our vision is to find the right mix of old-school discipline and toughness with modern and innovative processes." In the midst of one of the more surprising second acts in recent NFL history, Hurney is about as old school as it gets but has done a decent job in his second go-round as Panthers GM. Tepper has made it clear he will be heavily involved in the team's coaching search and is seemingly likely to rely more on his own opinion than Hurney's. It is still quite possible Hurney is sent packing at season's end.

I speculated a few days ago that Tepper wanted a figure-head as he transitions into his new career as Owner/GM.

Nothing has disabused me of my fantastic notion yet, which is scary.

I am cool using him for first round picks and then sitting him in the corner for the rest of the offseason.

There are a load of possibilities here.

- Hurney stays for now but is on probation (Gantt's take)

- Hurney stays but the new VP is given final say on the roster.

- Hurney gets the new VP job as a consultant type and someone else takes over the GM duties.

- Hurney is only still in place until Marty Hurney has a final conversation with him.

- Hurney stays only until Kevin Colbert's status in Pittsburgh is settled and then we see what happens.

I told yall that Tepper liked Hurney and he would likely stay as gm and help in coaching search. Adding a assistant gm and director is interesting tho. 

I'd RATHER have another GM but if we can put a lot of other good people around him, maybe it could work. Everyone seems to think Marty is malleable. Could be that is why Tepper wants to keep him too.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
