Panthers add Jim Caldwell

Now go get our OC and go get our QB. Im very excited for this season.

[TLGPanthersFan]

Very impressed with the hires. Get the QB situation right and it could be a very interesting 2023 season. 

[PantherKyle]

I am so beyond ecstatic! Let's go get that QB baby.

[Fenrir]

My goodness, what a staff we're assembling. Is this what hope looks like? It's been so long since I've felt it....

But Tepper is hard to work for….

He overpays his coaches, he stays out of the football decisions for the most part, and he is overly patient with coaches. 
 

The narrative that he was hard to work for and his personality would be some huge hinderance to attract coaches would stupid from the start and was largely agenda based.

My early guess is that they target Levis in round 1 after signing someone like Carr, if they cannot get a trade partner or the cost is too rich its onto Plan B.

Plan B will look something trading back into the bottom 3rd of round 1 and take a guy like Hooker or someone in that tier. 

Plan C is to just go with Carr (insert vet here) and Corral this season and get someone to compete with Corral for the starting role before Carr (vet qb) is cut loose. 

Or none of the above. 

Will Carr want to sign with a team when he knows it won’t be long term? (Don’t worry I read your post and know you just mention Carr as an option.)

Seems like Carr will want a long term deal and going to a team that wants him for 1 or 2 seasons doesn’t seem like what he wants. 
 

I think, if we sign a vet, it will be someone who won’t mind becoming the backup when we start our rookie. Carr probably doesn’t want to be a backup. 

I still think Tampa and Saints are more likely South teams to sign Carr because both would like to sign him long term.

You think Charles Robinson had an agenda against Tepper?

Okay

[Mistuh Jones]

So I guess Deuce is gonna be OC by default??

Hmmmm..   that's a lot of talent on 1 coaching staff  ..

I hope it's not like the  Phil Eagles a few years back when they signed so many free agents with a lot of talent, but they couldn't play together..

Whoo ,, lots of coaching talent .  

 

That's actully not a bad point.  I've scratched my head a little on the same subject.  It all looks good on paper and I hope it is wonderful.  Can egos become an issue?  I hope not.

I’m no fan of Levis but if that’s who they choose, that’s who they choose

he reminds me, frightenly of Wentz  

I'm just spitballing here. The reason I said Levis is twofold. 1.) The rumor that Tepper already was looking at him before this past season played out and.. 2.) They know that trading up for Stroud is not likely. 

So I'm going with the realistic options for now. A lot of things will happen before the draft gets here so I reserve the right to change my prognostication at a later date.

For those who may not realize this, Reich was an offensive assistant under Caldwell from 09-11. They are most likely very familiar with one another.

Doing @Mr. Scot's job over here.

I know he isn’t the young shiny OC type that so many people wanted but you could make the argument that his resume is better than Reich’s and definitely Wilks.

There is no guarantee these guys will mesh and/or the players will excel but in paper you have to appreciate the process this time.
