Gotta wonder what happened there.

What happened is Sean Payton is beginning to look like our next coach.  We are the best job this year.  Good O-line.  We're don't have a vet qb contract weighing us down.  We have some defensive pieces.  As crazy as Tepper is it's not the Church of Latter Day Saints like the Texans organization.  

It's really the logistics which is the biggest tell.  Sean has been zooming with teams remotely.  Tepper hasn't even interviewed any of the candidates in person.  Yet here we are this week with Tepper and Payton flying out to NYC where Tepper is going to wine and dine him personally and probably slip a roofie in his drink so he can get some damning photos unless Payton takes the job.

I still don't want Payton.

Crazy how many are turning down HC openings. 

Well put yourself in some of these guys shoes and look at the situation they are walking into.  I can't say as I can fault them for waiting another season to see how things shake out elsewhere.  There's more to consider than just the players they inherit.

I know and I respect your football acumen.  It's not really about what you or I want.  I'm just connecting the dots.  I'm fine with Wilks, I'm fine with Payton.  I didn't think Johnson was ready.  I don't think Steichen is ready.  Payton in a known commodity and the Panthers need to win.  He appears to be the safest bet out of the field of candidates.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
