  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?

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
