Ben Johnson vs Shane Steichen


Recommended Posts

Steichen + Brian Johnson makes me happy. I don't know who Johnson would bring from Motown, but I'm confident that Brian Johnson will be a HC very, very soon as well. 

Draft Darnold someone like Johnston or Mayer in that offensive scheme and I think we are playoff ready year 1 of the new regime. 

Johnston-DJ-TMJ-Shenault is a nasty foursome.

God im tired of hearing about Carolina roots.  WTF cares where they're from.  I don't give half a hot poo if Wilks is from Charlotte or that Tepper is a yankee or where anyone is from.  fug all that noise.  All I care about is who does the best job.  If they also happen to be from the Carolinas, I still don't give half a lame, blind and deaf dog's turd pile.

I hope they have a clear plan about what they would do as a head coach. Many candidates have books they keep just for when they get an opportunity. What they did as coordinators means nothing given the head coach job is totally different from a coordinator and neither have had any head coaching experience at any level. For that matter johnson has been a coordinator for 1 year. What makes them head coach ready? They better be impressive. Doubt Tepper brings in another guy with no head coach experience.

I fully believe if it’s not Wilks it’s gonna be someone like Reich, Quinn (meh), or the Hail Mary known as Harbaugh.

There is really no telling with this owner. He was duped by Hurney, then he was duped by Rhule more than once. 

I genuinely hope he stays as far away from the decision process as possible. If not, we might be royally fuged.

It's all about learning which firing Rhule was step 1. There were people here that were hell bent that Dave would keep Rhule for the season or be here for seven years.

We've since learned from behind the scenes chronicles of Rhule's tenure that the relationship between he and Tepper actually soured pretty quickly.

I:ve called Tepper "football stupid" before. Objectively speaking, I don't necessarily believe he's stupid. I do believe he's nowhere near as football smart as he thought he was.

The biggest question for me this offseason is whether he understands that now.

There are at least some indications that he does.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
