Campen was a fine add.  I still largely look at the top of the food chain if I were to rank the 32 NFL staffs. 

I at least think I give Snow decent credit.  I don’t go around trashing him.   And I’m not shy about doing those things, I’ve always said he has been the key to Rhule’s success.  Which he clearly had in college.  But I wouldn’t call him a great NFL DC. 

I think the staff is improved.  But I consider it bottom 3rd of the league.   So I wouldn’t call it great. 

Fair enough, since we aren't going to know one way or the other until we start playing for keeps. 

Potentially

I was pretty excited about getting Campen. He's well respected around the league and has a solid resumé. 

If there's a downside to him, it's that the last two or three head coaches he's worked for have all been fired after one season with him.

(granted, some would say that's not necessarily bad) 😐

As far as Snow, i kind of feel like the flipside of what was said. In my opinion, it's been the talent we have on the defense carrying him while his schemes are weak.

I get the sense that we were bested in individual drills but proved better in team competition.

Not necessarily a bad thing...

I walked away with that, too.  It's a team sport, so I'll take that as a win. 

The Pats have had a lot of successful teams in the last 20 years that might not have won a lot if individual drills, but put them on the field together and the total was a lot greater than the sum of the parts.  Not a bad situation to be in.

Speaking of coaching staff, I get the impression that the  lesson Belichick may learn this year is just how good Josh McDaniels was.

(or at the very least that Matt Patricia isn't exactly on the same level)

When this commercial came out... my boss at the time's name was Michael Dumarr. However, I called him Mr. Dumbass. This was the only timein my life where it was forgiveable to call my boss Dumbass.

I've said a thing or two in prior jobs that I could have (or arguably should have) been fired for.

I thought McDaniels was probably the best choice in the last round of coaching interviews.

I'm not absolutely certain he's going to be a great head coach, but I feel pretty comfortable saying then in the OC transition from him to Matt Patricia, there's going to be...a dropoff 😕

A lot of whining about our beat reporters. Personally I think we have a lot of good writers, Joe is great over at the Athletic, Ellis is great at the Observer, Panthers.com has a lot of well written pieces.

What we don’t have is the “breaking news” crowd.

I take writers over breaking news tweets any day, but maybe I’m old school.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
