... for about a year and a half now, according to Albert Breer on WFNZ today.

Breer also explained that the departure from Indianapolis came because during the process, McDaniels and Colts GM Chris Ballard came to understand they had very different ideas on their vision for the team going forward.

Thus, it'd be important to McDaniels that he and whoever is in leadership in Carolina would see eye-to-eye.

Oh hi, Nick Caserio. You've met Josh, right?

I heard that interview as well.  I got the distinct impression that Breer thinks there is a very good possibility of McDaniels being the hire...at the very least, he will be SERIOUSLY considered.

And I found it interesting to hear more about why McDaniels backed out of the deal with Indy.  It adds some perspective, and makes it look like Josh is not as much of an unreliable flake as it seemed.  

I also found it interesting to hear that Josh has been looking to leave for a couple of years.  But it makes sense that after the Denver fiasco, he'll want to be selective on where he goes.  The greatest thing failure does is show you where you need to improve and allows you to do what you can to fix your flaws.

What is this "vision for the team" you speak of?

I got the same impression.

We only recently found out that Tepper and Robert Kraft formed a close friendship after Kraft went to bat for him in the team sale process. Now Kraft could conceivably be helping Tepper construct the next phase of his team.

Sounds good to me.

I'm sure he's done a lot of growing up since his time in Denver. At least I hope he has. He definitely has the mind for what Tepper is trying to accomplish here.

I liked the added perspective on his last minute decision to not go to Indy. I can't imagine the idea of having to work for that drunk owner helped any.

I'm just happy to finally have an owner wanting to go this ambitious direction.

      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.
