Sorry, I didn't catch their names, but its live now. Both talking heads agreed...

The Panthers have the most attractive current opening.

Owner, who is largely an unknown at the moment, has big money and potential

Easy place to attract free agents

A lot of pieces in place to succeed (I know this is debatable,  but there are at least a few key pieces that will help take us through this transition).

There was a caveat that they felt Cam would be back, which is the great unknown of course.

 

I just wanted to share this bit of positivity in light of some of the negative pub and current feelings. Hang in there Panthers fans. We have pulled ourselves out of the pit before.

Happy New Year!

It’s more attractive than the Browns. Some would argue it’s more attractive than Dallas, if the Cowboys part ways with Garrett. Objectively, I’m not sure if I would agree with that. Every coach has their own preference for what they want. There are a lot of factors. 

I’ll say this: the “unknown” part about a new owner wouldn’t be a good selling point. I’m not sure I would shy away from that, if I was a candidate. But it certainly wouldn’t be an attractive element.

I'd say it's a good opportunity, though I'll grant that ESPN will probably change their choice of "best" to Dallas if and when that job opens up.

We kind of caught a break in that we're searching in a year when there aren't many other opportunities. Only three other teams are competing for talent. One is already finished, though one more might still happen.

Ellis you are someone whose opinion on league wide matters and objectivity I respect. Other than prestige based on accomplishments that were literally a generation or more ago, what makes Dallas an attractive place to coach?

I realize with Prescott they have a more solid qb situation than most places  with openings, but it’s not exactly like he’s a world beater, just not as bad as the bottom third of the league. Yes they have an outstanding oline, which is a plus, but mot teams have some talent somewhere on their roster if they aren’t picking top 5, and I honestly don’t get why this place is regarded as a desirable place to coach unless you’re just a media attention whore.

Enlighten me if you would sir.

Not ellis.

Owner has a sense of loyalty. Next coach will not be on a two year prove it deal. He will pay to get talent and as you mention the team is already legit. And if you like the spotlight you certainly have that. Plus the NFCE is for the taking...

Not good, not bad situation. It’s the unknowns. Unknown QB with and untested owner.

Mix in an inexperienced NFL coach (like an up and coming college coach) and that is a lot of pressure and unknowns. Even for a coordinator that will be progressing is going to be tough.

Some pieces are in place but the biggest ones are not (QB, oline, NT).

As much as I want and up and coming name instead of a retread I can see why someone with NFL HC experience would be important.

These unknown portion should be resolved during the interview process. If coaches start running for the hills, that would be a bad sign.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
