Reid's probably the best WCO coach in the game right now. Gotta be between him and Payton, I'd think.

He's arguably one of the best since Bill Walsh but his postseason record doesn't really hold up that well.

(Holmgren and Shanahan were better on that front)

WCO still employs a deep ball. Maybe not as frequently as a Coryell but it's there.

Personally, I used to not be a big fan of WCOs but I've warmed to them over the years. When you saw how effective Sean Payton's offense was, it became pretty hard to hate.

In the end, I honestly don't care that much either way as long as we win.

Right but I thought the OP was implying it was a bread and butter thing.

Fair enough, but what players do we have that do well in space?  We don't have a freak like Tyreek.

The Mayfield d#ck riding from the second chance sunshine brigade is actually pretty phenomenal. To think the Browns will cast off a "stud", takes an incredible amount of cognitive contortion. 

They were saying the same great things about the Darnold trade. How soon they forget.

My default is DJ Moore and CMC. Chiefs only had Kelce and Hill. Which all four are elite talent in the league (when healthy)

Totally.  I'm just not counting on CMC...  And I feel like DJ is on the cusp of being one of those guys in space, but not quite there.

For fans that want to live in the moment Baker Mayfield provides hope for the immediate future.  Whether he can actually make any meaningful difference when it comes to the Panthers record remains to be seen.  After all, Baker is only one player on a team that has way too many question marks, not the least of which is the head coach.

For those who embrace a long term outlook Baker clouds the picture since he isn't considered an elite QB and may not provide much of an improvement over what Carolina already has on the roster.

I will say that Baker Mayfield does seem to have moxy in spades, which is fun to watch as a fan.  On the other hand, Darnold is about as fun to watch as grass growing.

This move is 90% to set us back 3 plus years if not more. 

 

I think we just cemented our place in Purgatory. 

I think that depends on McAdoo. We now have 3 coaches on this staff with head coach experience. I feel like we will surprise people this year, and make the playoffs. I want to see how much of a difference McAdoo makes to this team. I don’t think we are anywhere near Purgatory, especially with Wilks and McAdoo now on board, especially if Corral is the next big thing.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
