Hey guys. I do an afternoon show down here at Fox Sports Upstate. I spent some time today diagnosing some of the problems with the Panthers, thought I would share my perspective with you. 

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

Thanks for letting me share. Hope everybody’s having a good new year!

I think it was premature. I don’t think the explanation given was completely satisfactory, but that’s just me. Here’s the thing: Sam was on the shelf, but was always going coming back and play IMO. I think Brady could’ve done some good things to help Sam develop down the stretch. I don’t think making that move made them better in the short term, and I’m not sure how they handled it makes them better long-term. Brady was not without fault, but I wasn’t a big fan of doing it this early. Again, that’s just me.

My problem with this thinking is.. Just like Rhule I think hiring a pass game coordinator with no play calling and little to no NFL experience was a mistake.. And the only thing I agree with Rhule about is it seem Brady inexperience was fallen into a pattern.. Both seem to fail and acknowledge how bad this Oline was.. Especially pass blocking and how it was affecting the whole team.. And I think it was Chris Simms that said we all got fooled thinking Brady was this young genius because of LSU passing offense.. But Reality was NFL DC had figured him out and he wasn't showing any different pitches.. So I agree the explanation was none existent.. But we could already see division when it came to not running the ball.. Being a Rhule discussion point every press conference.. Right??

Do you think like Ron had to do.. If Tepper is going to keep Rhule another year he will force him to hire a former HC on his staff?? 

That is something I don't understand about these new coaches.. They fail and fight against having someone on their staff more experienced then them.. And go thru seasons of bad time management and situational play calling and practice habits..

They rather learn the hard way instead of relinquishing some power to somebody on their staff..

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
