Isnt his role to just scout the offense from a defensive perspective?

 

His role is to scout the offense, and tell them what signs they are showing, tells, or repetitive play calls. McVay, Shanahan, and BB do this same thing for their offenses. 

I have no problem with doing this. The choice of hire is the issue. It isn't a former pro linebacker. It's a guy who maxed out in college. 

It's another coach at a pro level without pro experience. We should have learned our lesson.

If you look down the list of assistants that we have at this level, I'm sure you'll notice a trend.

If his job is to look at player tendencies, why does it matter how good he was at football? Was BB one of the best players in football history? how about Sean McVay? Sean McDermott? 

 

You dont have to be athletic to see tendencies or decisions on the field decisions. poo we do it here, and get it right at least 50% of the time...

It's not about athleticism. It's about experience at the pro level. It matters and he doesn't have it.

I mean like.....we are bitching about an offensive assistant like this guy is going to be in there making up part of a game plan or something...... y'all need to relax. 

It shows that they are still looking in the wrong places for answers and that they are still fundamentally flawed in their management of the team.

Realistically speaking, these guys are just interns that somebody's giving a chance to try and get their foot in the door.

Some of them may succeed. Most won't.

But as to the point that the team and its leadership are fundamentally flawed? Yeah, they are (no doubt).

Yeah, I don't think that this is a crucial position, but just the fact that they keep fishing in that same pond is a problem.

And fishing from that same pond won't help. It's a waste of resources and convolutes things further.

On any staff besides ours this would be an absolute nothing move.  No one would even note it.  Of no importance whatsoever.

With our staff so far beyond the pale however, any move is like salt in the wounds at this point.  Nothing they do will be right.  Only a massive turnaround will rescue them, and with our cap and draft capital the correct resources to create that just aren't there.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
