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 mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.
    • Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
