  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 can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
