Panthers general manager search update

Gotta think they’ll have their decision made by tonight once Dodds and Peters finish their interviews.

Maybe Peters can lure Trent Williams here. He was the best left tackle in the league this year, idgaf that he’s 32, he’s different. Much like Whitworth

One difference I get from Marty Hurney with Dodds: Marty was generally known to be a guy who tried to be nice. If he saw you play badly, he might say something along the lines of "Well that probably could have been a little better."

Dodds strikes me as more the type to go "SH-T, DUDE! WHAT THE &@#$ WAS THAT?! YOU LOOKED LIKE MOTHER&@#$ING ASS OUT THERE!" :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

“Much has been made of 49ers exec Adam Peters possibly returning to Denver as a GM, and that is viable, but several execs in the NFL believe he is an ever better bet to land with the Panthers in that capacity ...”

I don't necessarily doubt the truth of that, but I've gotta say LaCanfora has really fallen off. He posted that Mike Borgonzi and George Paton were going to be candidates for the Panthers job. We reportedly haven't reached out to either one.

What really gets me though is that in this link (timestamped about an hour ago) LaCanfora talks about how he believes Nick Caserio should land a job during this hiring cycle. He seems unaware that Caserio got the Texans job last night.

Thats fine along as it's not an ego trip like DG had issues with. Sounds like Tepper will like him.

Gantt is on WFNZ and indicated that he'll likely be doing another update discussing today's interviews.

He also said there could be more interviews "possibly tomorrow".

Good God, we've interviewed half the league and the majority of the names that were referenced when Hurney was fired. 

We're gonna F**k around and lose the best one to another team.

Using a 29 pixel Calibri font  which appears to be same font used in the texts I came up with this ( i typed over the first sentence to show how close it is to the original text)

Adofo-Mensah seems to cut off in and gets too close to and. Still no telling if this text is any more than a rumor or speculation though.

Thanks for answering the call soldier! "h" doesnt look right and I thought the "P" would be off in Peters, plus he didnt use first&last for Caserio. I believe Peters fits better now, even tho I think Adolfo is more of want Tepper wants.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
