Other new titles:

Jeff Nixon is now listed as "Assistant Head Coach, Offense". Al Holcomb has the same title on the defensive side. Not sure if that ranks them above the coordinators or not (wouldn't think so but...)

Terrance Knighton is now the Assistant Defensive Line Coach (was a coaching assistant before).

This honestly just seems like a “too many cooks in the kitchen” type of scenario waiting to happen. Why do you need all of these people? Football has never had this much input and teams have been successful. I know these guys want to be “CEOs” but football isn’t THAT complicated.

I played a LOT of football, never jumped rope.  Not saying it's wrong, just that I had never done it, nor had I seen a lot of players in the NFL do it either...again, not saying that they don't, just that I've never seen it that I can recall.

In HS FB they had us jump rope for 5 min every damn day in off season workouts

Reporter Question:

Coach.... (did not hear name) said, you are closer to be NFL ready, more than some analysts gave you before the draft. Were do you feel that you stand. How close of being an NFL ready, compete for starring job with Darnold?

Matt C answer: 

All it comes down to is knowing the playbook. If I just can know the playbook I will be ready to play. And as far as, uhm, you know, be a starter. That's not my, of course my mentality is to be a starter but right now. I am trying to get on the 53 man roster. 

 

 

My take...

People really want him to replace Darnold.  But this is kind of ridiculous, even from journalists. He is a third round pick. This behavior is just setting him up to fail expectations. Yes I know, be ready and compete. Compete hard and let us all scream, the American way. Yada. I don't think throwing the whole franchise on his shoulders and expecting him to be able to carry it from day one is the best way forward. I hope he settles in good and can win the job. But give him time.

If he can learn the playbook you start him.   If he fails he fails if not we are good.   Letting a 3rd rounder sit if he is ready to play is stupid

Yep. If he knows it then you have to give him live game experience. If he sucks then we grab a replacement next year. If he gets better each game and looks like something at the end of the season, then we roll with him.

      CBS Sports’ way too early 2025 mock has Carolina ….taking a QB

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Posting Just for laughs….or, maybe not    “The Carolina Panthers weren’t on the list of Deion Sanders’ preferred landing spots for his son Shedeur. But that didn’t stop CBS Sports writer Ryan Wilson from already projecting the University of Colorado star to the Queen City—and with next year’s No. 1 overall pick, no less. Wilson, in his “way-too-early” 2025 mock draft, explains that a new quarterback may be on the horizon if the Panthers finish with the league’s worst record for the second year in a row: If nothing else, using the betting odds means that, for the third straight year, the Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick. Hopefully first-year coach Dave Canales can get the most out of Bryce Young, but if that doesn’t happen … you’d have to imagine quarterback at No. 1 (for the second time in three drafts for Carolina) will be a talking point. And with that pick, Wilson sends Sanders to Carolina: Shedeur Sanders made huge strides in his first year as an FBS QB and he’ll be in the conversation with several other players to be the first quarterback drafted. Sanders completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and just three interceptions in 2023”

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By TD alt · Posted

      If Young can't at least play average, then little QBs of the present and future might as well kiss dreams of being in the NFL "goodbye." Sure, there may be what people consider outliers,  like Russ and Murray, but Wilson and Murray aren't exactly little guys. Young is the test case.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I really liked zona's draft too. It's a fair snap shot at a entertainment grade..   edit- raiders imo had a much better draft than the expert grade. I see lots of BPA and need filled.
