Panthers "narrowing the field"

Per Joe Person, currently on WFNZ. Apparently, a couple of guys have already been advised by the Panthers that they're "moving in another direction"(no word on who).

Person also mentioned that Tepper and Rhule haven't necessarily been on the same page in the search, specifically with Tepper wanting to look more at the "outside the box" guys but Rhule wanting a traditional talent evaluator.

As far as names, Person said he "keeps coming back" to Adam Peters. But also Interestingly said that if a guy like Peters is hired, that guy will have final say on the roster.

On a non-GM note, Person said the general belief is that the Panthers will be focused on getting a quarterback this offseason and moving on from Teddy Bridgewater.

And one final note: Joe Brady heading to Atlanta as their head coach is a very real possibility.

The fanbase would revolt if they didn't. Teddy is a top notch backup.

All of this makes sense. 

Curious....has Person become a more trusted/reliable/accepted source? Forever, I thought of him as a guy that you take the opposite on. Out of the loop and just a shade better than DNewton. 

He got better when he joined the Atlantic.

Seems like a real journalist now.

Spanish is correct.

Person was actually one of the earliest guys to mention that the Panthers could move on from Cam Newton. Also had specifics on what kind of injury Newton had (lisfranc) before others did.

He has his flaws, but he's a lot better than the sh-t he gets from some folks here.

What exactly did joe brady do to warrant an immediate head coaching hire after one season as a OC in the NFL? 

They have to be looking more at his college stuff? Or they just know Teddy's a bum and like his playcalling? Lol

His scheme and the plays he called throughout the year were all very, very good. Situationally it could have been better at times but he was learning as he was going. 

Teddy and the lack of a true redzone threat really limited what the offense could truly do.

I’m in the minority but I want Brady gone this year so we don’t draft a qb that just fits his specific system. Because Brady is going to be leaving shortly if it’s not this year. I want to draft a talented qb not a system qb. Makes me feel like we might draft someone like Mac Jones instead of Trey Lance. Maybe I’m wrong. Brady vouching for teddy leaves a horrible taste. Bye.
 

As far as a two gm type system I’ve been reading I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. Kwesi is super smart but he’s green. I think he’s only been in the league for a couple years with the 49ers and Browns. You’d need someone who has more of a traditional eye and has more experience to pair with him. That’s hard to do though. Most of those types of guys just want the jobs themselves. Not clue what they’re gonna do but I won’t rush to judgement.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
