Would you be pleased if we hired Byron Leftwich??

My biggest issue with Byron Leftwich is the same one I have with Ken Dorsey and Kellen Moore.

They're all very intelligent and skilled, but I think they need more experience before they're ready to take on a head coaching job.

I know everybody is looking for the next Sean McVay, but I feel like if you go that route you're probably more likely to find the next Joe Brady 😕

I suppose it depends how often a coordinator calls plays, what role they have in the team, etc. It feels unfair to loop them all in with Brady... Especially when these guys we usually are talking about have multiple years of NFL experience

Bit of a conflict of interest. He is the OC for the Bucs or whatever but I think he's is ready for the big time. He's the next coach to be upnext in the hot offensive coordinator to HC list.

If he brings in Tom Moore, and it depends on the DC. Everywhere Tom Moore goes Lombardi’s follow. He is ancient though. I would be excited about the offense and worried about the defense. I wished we could get Tomlin personally.

I agree with this. It would be extremely important who they surround themselves with. The vet dream DC would be Vic Fangio. Then you can completely let go of the defense.

Byron was a tough, gutsy player who brought a lot to the huddle and the lockerroom. As a coach, he's  been even better.

I think his combination of working his way up the coaching ranks AND his playing time on the field makes him an outstanding candidate. 

If we were to snag him, I'd think we'd set ourselves up for long term success.

My ignorant take is that although I like the dude, Brady makes it very hard to evaluate his coaching abilities. 

on the flip side, the fact he has worked with brady may mean he's learned some things that may help him be a better coach.

Leftwich has only been coaching since 2016, Moore since only 2018. Dorsey has the longest tenure of the bunch, starting in 2023.

There are guys who have been ripe for a head coaching opportunity for longer than these guys have even been coaching.

I know it's not his fault, but older coaches have been pushed to the fringe because of how successful McVay has been.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
