Our Death Valley days are behind us.  Once the ink is dry on the contracts for either Kafka or Steichen, whatever QB’s are on the roster in training camp will be better.   New playbooks and offensive schemes, coaching and player development, game day and half time adjustments, all of it will create the conditions for better QB performance.

Rookie draft pick - Richardson, Hooker, McKee, Corral

Bridge FA - Carr, Minshew, Darnold, Walker

All of them will play and look better under the new coach and system, because coach and system are more important than raw athletic ability.  Athletic ability is the floor.  Coaching, system and player development determine the ceiling.

It can’t get worse.  It can only get better.  With Kafka or Steichen, and with any three of the players listed above, playoffs in year 1 of the new regime.

That's a lot of assumptions you have there. Different doesn't guarantee better. You might want to wait to see how the season plays out before deciding its automatically going to be better. 

True enough, no guarantees.  Anyone who is offering predictions of the upcoming season must make assumptions; just looking at it probabilistically.  You can play with the percentages of each potential outcome but, I have a hard time seeing how the Panthers QB play in the upcoming season will be no better or worse than the just concluded 2022 season. 

     All other things equal under Kafka or Steichen, Panther QB's by end of 2023 season will...

  • Do better than 2022 - 60%
  • No better, no worse - 30%
  • Do worse than 2022 - 10%

Yea I'll have to wait in season and see. Our offensive and defensive adjustments(or lack thereof) left alot to be desired. Which says a lot off coming off a Rhule led team. 

To be fair, I do think if Sam played the entire year with PJ as his primary backup we aren't even having this discussion. 

Hell, if Wilks would have kept Snow we'd be in the playoffs. 

Keeping that in mind, if he was to named as HC and i I'm Tepper, Id have a few conditions if he wants that position. No micromanaging and hire him the best position coaches, DC and OC avialable.

I'm not so sure he'd sign off on that after his Arizona stint. 

Whatever way it goes I honestly hope Holcomb and McAdoo have called their last plays as coordinators here.

I think you’re right regarding QB play because, like you said, it can’t get much worse. However, I think the rest of our roster is a bit overrated. Look how badly the Bucs got stomped in the playoffs, and we couldn’t take the division from them. We were probably a 3 or 4 win team in any other year.

I don't know man. It's hard to imagine heading into another season with the same level of incompetence that we had with Rhay-Z.

On that I agree. But the football god's have not been kind to us for many years my friend.  I never say never.  My hopes hinge on who is makings those decisions going forward.  So I'm in neutral until other dominoes fall.

      REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

      By strato · Posted

      Why does analyzing the motivations and thought process of a failed draft, and coming up with a viewpoint that is different from yours, or anyone’s, have to equal shoe shining? There is a box and it is okay to venture outside of it. Not a shoebox lol. A thinking outside the box  And the box in this case is a prejudice against Fitterer and his subordinates. For one thing. Also an attitude that it was business as usual for the 2024 draft, and it really wasn’t some damned all hands on deck Chinese fire drill trying to cover Tepper’s butt. Fail at your peril.  It is hard for me to understand that being an unrealistic scenario. And yeah I want Morgan to succeed but it isn’t a blank check. Let him do something like trade the 2027 1st round pick for a lightweight edge rusher… see what you hear out of me about that.

      I get it but it was still the wrong approach. Need a pass catching back, get one in FA. They're out there. Fill the holes that got you to a 2-15 record with starting caliber draft picks. Just about everything that has been done over the past 3 years has been to prop up Bryce and he still barely got to 3k yards. Part of why I'm still not sold on Dan. Just some really questionable at best team building strategies. The draft results this year were better, but overall, at the end of the season, I don't know that the team is really that much better from when he started. We were a 6 win team that got lucky GB couldn't score on 6 trips into the RZ and the Jets were a train wreck. 16 and 13 point offensive outputs aren't going to usually result in wins.

      I loved his approach to cap he'll Hurney left us with. He also called time on a couple guys who were aging out of their contract wants.  That was the good.  The rest, he was just an ass and nobody wanted to see shorts hiked up that high on him ever. They're shorts, not a bra. Thank God one of the twins didn't fall out for the world to see.
