Still no word from anyone on Offensive Line Coach candidates. And mind you, there are some good ones available. Juan Castillo, Mike Munchak and James Campen to name a few.

There's been speculation that they want to hire an OC first, but then there's also no word on who'll be coaching the defensive line either (Bill Kollar from the Broncos would be a good one in this spot) and we're certainty not making any changes at DC.

Mind you, this could be one of those times where nothing gets said until one day they suddenly announce the hire. If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if the jobs went to internal candidates.

Speaking of the OC, anyone else notice the three names that were initially floated as having our interest never materialized?

Neither Bill O'Brien, Jay Gruden nor Kevin O'Connell have even been mentioned in relation to the Panthers since the initial speculation. Doesn't sound like Pep Hamilton is looking this way either.

First guess? They might not be interested or may have better options (heaven knows O'Connell does) but it also makes you wonder if the stories were bullsh-t to begin with.

It may have just been the media throwing out some reasonable options when they really needed to be looking at former grad assistants at Temple and Baylor.

Went back and looked. The initial tweet was from Schefter citing "league sources".

I recall there being talk from Panthers media about targeting former head coaches, but that sure hasn't panned out. Neither has the "wide search" that Rhule promised (at least not yet).

This may be the last place anyone worth a damn might want to come.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
