Pederson might have more than one offer. He's got an established record and a ring to his name.

Younger guys are still looking for their first job so they can make a name for themselves.

You're not likely to see a guy turn down offers too often.

*cough* Josh McDaniels *cough*  Seriously, the list is very short.  I remember when Bill Cowher's name kept being brought up for job openings several years after he left the Steelers, but he always declined.

They might be able to hire a defensive oriented head coach like Matt Eberflus, knowing he has some decent defensive players to build around. 

But if you’re an offensive head coach like Doug Pederson, why would you pick a team like the Panthers when a team like Jacksonville has a franchise QB in place.

Because he can pick a young qb and groom him.  Bring in a seasoned OC and go get some free agents for the oline 

there are no draft picks to help. It has to be free agency

The only concern Panthers fans should have is will Tepper fire Rhule this year or won't he?

Being able to replace Rhule with a better coach isn't going to be a problem.

I agree that we can find a coach.  Tepper needs to let Dan Morgan and other former players in the front office give their opinions.  As far as firing Rhule, it might not happen and I'll be pissed if it don't.

John Fox inherited a 1-15 team and had a respectable 7-9 record his first year with Rodney Peete as the QB. His 2nd year, Hurney brought in Jake and they went to the Super Bowl. This Panthers team has some talent but it is hard to see with the college coaching staff.

That answers your question.  With the contract Rhule has any coach would come here for that money.

But that breeds complacency and poor results on the field. Ever heard the expression being “born on second case and thinking you hit a double”? Matt Rhule came to the Panthers as one of the top 10 highest paid head coaches and he’s been one of the worst head coaches in his two seasons. If Tepper throws big money at the next coach and it isn’t someone like Pederson who has a Super bowl ring to back it up, it’s going to end the same way no matter who they hire.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
