Lions fire Patricia and Quinn

Stop pushing that dumb idea. We are not even a top offense. That's like saying they might be interested in Snow because we shut them out. 

You don't think that Quinn didn't get fired because we beat Atlanta?  That was the last straw.  Then we shut out a team that was looking to turn the corner and make the playoffs.  

We were supposed to be a walkover.  You can believe what you want but many of us believe WE WERE the reason both Quinn and Patricia got fired. 

I actually mentioned that in a post last week before the Lions game.

I agree with this. I don't think Brady is going to be a hot HC candidate until we are a much more finely tuned offensive machine. I suspect we get to see a couple of more years of him at least.

Agreed.  If our offense was really explosive and Teddy looked like a legit franchise QB, he would probably be poached after year 1 or 2.  I like a lot of what I've seen from the offensive scheme, but its not enough to get him a head coaching job.

Teddy has been average but Brady will have to improve on his red zone play calling.

It's not that I'm knocking him but he's not doing anything ground breaking. At this point someone like Scott Turner is just as good, Someone like Byron Leftwitch and Eric Bieniemy are better, and Kyle Shanahan, Sean Payton, and Andy Reid are still the best offensive minds in football.

I completely disagree, Brady is probably going to at least get interview requests from every team with a head coach opening this offseason.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
