James Campen named OL coach

[Mr. Scot]

I guess now if we have a big game, we might try getting The Undertaker to give a pregame pep talk

Word was they were trying to keep him.

He may have been on an expired contract though. Hard to say.

The Texans HC he was working under got canned.  So who knows if the new guy would have kept him or not.

I think the comfort level with OC McAdoo (who he worked with for many years at Green Bay) was a big part of Campen's move to Carolina.

the mcadoo connection might have been the trick. job taken despite having to work for a guy that couldn't tell his ass from a doorknob.

A really good hire. I hope we give him a very good offensive line to work with...

[BlitzMonster]

This is great news for Brady Christensen and Deonte Brown.   The team is finally going to see what these two can become.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the team got better play from Cameron Erving and Pat Elflein (though that's not saying much).  Maybe these two can become competent backups or spot starters now ?

Bunch of angry man child's took it out on the Panthers bot.

ok....now grab these guys:

Terron Armstead - pay him whatever

Ryan Jensen (option a) or Ben Jones (option b) - would be totally happy with either

Norwell - just bring him home.

do this and then we can talk about getting a QB in the first round. wouldn't need to worry about not having picks in the next couple rounds.

Rhule might have been NFL naive when he took over the Panthers but I don't think he's completely stupid.   If he has any self-awareness at all, Rhule must have known he needed more experienced guys to help him lead the team next season.  

I also wouldn't be surprised if his boss Tepper nudged him in that direction as well.  

I believe all your points may have played a factor in Rhule's "awakening".  McAdoo's personal contacts/established relationships within the league likely didn't hurt either.

I don't know about Armstead but I am sure that Campen will be helpful in attracting free agent OL to play in Carolina.
