 I do an afternoon show down here at Fox Sports Upstate.

Hoping to have Joe Person on tomorrow to dive into his latest article, and some thoughts on Carolina’s future. 

🤙

Sounds great!

Hey, please see if you can get Joe Person to name some names…

Cheers mate ✌️

5:47 time mark:

”…so to me, I think it’s time to cut the cord, do it sooner rather than later…Scott Fitterer is not without blame but he gets a chance to move forward…Dan Morgan is in a big spot, they have ties to Buffalo and Seattle, give them a chance to get their guy…”

That was you right?

Own it👌

Yes, I have made no secret that I believe the team should probably move in a different direction. Am I out actively promoting it? Do I take pleasure in seeing somebody lose their job? No. Hence, the comment I made about not being on a crusade. It’s not personal. There’s no agenda. It’s based on a two-year sample size of analysis in terms of roster building, messaging, strategic/game management elements, and most of all…trends. I don’t feel this operation is trending in a positive direction, and I feel it’s more than fair to incorporate that into my analysis. If I felt he was equipped to move forward and build a winning program, that would be my analysis. I respect those who disagree with this, because I could very well be wrong on all of it. He could surprise everyone. I think it’s pretty fair to say, as we sit here in early January into year two…it’s not looking great. Again, I appreciate your feedback.

Everything outlined above, I definitely “own” it.

By the way, I don’t think Scott is blameless. But generally speaking, the general manager is part of the coaching hiring process, usually at the front of the line. Dan is well respected from a lot of guys I respect around the league. If you don’t trust those people to make hiring decisions, don’t have a GM. Just let Matt have full control. I don’t know, maybe it will all work out. I’m not rooting against anybody. That’s the larger point I’m trying to get across.

And just so we’re clear, I was more optimistic about Matt last off-season, but I still had plenty of doubts. And I’m not blind to some positives that have been contributed here. On the whole, the results don’t give me a lot of reason for optimism, but I guess that’s just a matter of perspective and expectations. But no, I don’t personally loathe the man.

Cool 🤙

So, with that in the rear view mirror…

…what do you think will happen?

Matt gets to continue into next season?

Or is he is gonzo on Monday?

He did just drop a hundo to join a country club…would be a shame to have to rinse that down the drain so quickly 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, I don’t get the sense that he’s getting fired on Monday. I think there will be some conditions, including some potential changes on the staff. Outside of that, it’s anybody’s guess. Anything could happen, I suppose. At this point, I think most signs seem to indicate he’ll probably return.

      Derek Carr Retires

      By fanpanther · Posted

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
