  1. 1. If we hire Sean are you still a Panthers fan?

What if he comes back, gets one last payday, and then crashes and burns?

Are you going to delete your account? Or just disappear like every overconfident gatekeeping fan from here does halfway through the season.

What if we hire an offensive guru for their first head coaching gig and they crash and burn as well like Rhule?

My random thoughts on Payton are that he was an excellent coach who probably overstayed his welcome in New Orleans.  After Brees left and even maybe a little before, it looked like he lost his drive.  FWIW, I think we are seeing some of the same with Hoodie in New England.  The results are similar, curious personnel decisions, unfocused, going through the motions, etc.

It is possible time away and a new environment cures that.  Payton is younger than Hoodie, so there is that.

Bountygate does not thrill me, but I have always believe that was more Gregg Williams' brain child than Payton's (and I believe the NFL investigation concluded that).  He gets dinged for allowing it and creating an atmosphere where it was acceptable.

The downside is that he left the Saints in a mess.  That is an upside for us looking at it through Panther eyes, but the question is whether he would do the same here.  Based on that, he is not my first choice.  As a game day coach, I’m good.  Having a voice in who gets a chance to wear the uniform, sure.  Having his hand on the checkbook, different answer.

All that said, I would not ride into the sunset on the Panthers if they hire him.  The only coaching hire that would have cause me to respond that way would have been Josh McDaniels.

I can't tell if these are ALT accounts or if people are seriously this upset reading a possible scenario.

Sean Payton while having a hall of fame quarterback was barely a coinflip in the playoffs. He only managed to get to one Super Bowl and honestly those games seem to be coinflips. John Fox and Ron Rivera also manage to get to the big game, and both were winnable.

The minute Brees was gone Payton abandoned his team. Imagine him trying to build anything in Carolina at his age. How long do you seriously think he will last?

    • I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario.  Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless.  ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team. TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team.  The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely. 
    • We screwed up a couple years ago taking Bryce in the first place.  Nobody held a gun to our head to jump from #9 to #1.  Most people who keep up with draft news knew this 2024 QB class was loaded and we should have waited, which I advocated. It was a dumb move and I knew it.  Now we have to roll with Bryce another year.  That's fine, because this 2025 class isn't that great.  I like Ewers, but not super high on him.  If Bryce shows improvement, which I think he will, that should get him at least one more season before we have to decide on if he's the permanent answer or not.  I've said before, the 2026 draft is the next window for a franchise QB if Bryce isn't the answer. Bryce gets this year and next at a minimum.
