Whose post-Panthers comments interest you the most?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

We've heard plenty of post-firing commentary from former head coach Ron Rivera. Some have found it self-serving (admittedly I'm one of them). I'm sure there are probably words out there from some of our former assistants as well, but they don't get interviewed all that often.

But given the likely mass exodus of free agents set to come with guys like Gerald McCoy, Bruce Irvin, James Bradberry, probably Mario Addison and others, whose post Panthers comments will you be most interested to hear?

A lot of guys probably won't say much, but others have the potential to be more... open; and as a result, probably more interesting.

Whose comments would you be most curious to hear? And who would you consider most likely to speak their mind without filtering?

 

Side Note: I feel fairly certain I'm going to get a couple of "outside the box" answers; just waiting to see who gives them.

Bradberry hasn't said much that I've seen. Seems to be a guy of few words. From what he has said, it seems pretty clear that he's simply going to go to the highest bidder 

I hope he does and gets paid a ton. The more the merrier. I want a 3rd and the higher he’s paid the better slot. He’s also a good guy so happy for him regardless.

Ron’s comments are funny. He does blame everyone but himself. You’d be hard pressed for a coach who passes the buck more considering how they well respected he is.

Well there was that one time that he said "Maybe it's on us" :thinking:

Maybe...

I do for the insight it'll give us on the behind-the-scenes picture, same as with All or Nothing.

It may lend some insight into the past regime but it would only highlight what many of us have always suspected.  It will tell us nothing about the new one.  I suspect most will speak well of Ron and Hurney.

It was cathardic to see Ron as who some of us suspected he was when he went to Washington and blamed everyone else for his crap performance. I'd like to hear what McCoy thinks or any tidbits about the behind the scenes bs. I wonder what Williams would say but at this point he is probibly just worried about becoming a backup somewhere. If Cam does leave then that could be a whole different bag of worms but I think most from him would be more unintentional.

    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
