Now I know the term gentrification has one meaning to most which usually starts an ugly argument but it also can mean “the process of making someone or something more refined, polite, or respectable”. 
 

I say that to say this, if the more “respectable” route was to hire Wilks would we really have had a proper staff in place under him just to suffice the medias push for more black head coaches just to quell an ongoing but true argument that there aren’t enough in those position. Rather than utilizing affirmative action tactics and setting these gentlemen up to fail we have started something great with the staff we have built and are the  ONLY team with a black OC and DC. They were the best fit for the job and they were qualified enough to get HC consideration. Now I’m not saying they will be shoe in HC in the near future but how things are looking they are set up very well going forward and will gain the proper experience on the way to achieving that milestone. 
 

The article referenced below is a breath of fresh air to see positive news about our coaching staff and how we have incorporated diversity. This is not only the most exciting staff to date but probably the most diverse I have seen in my 3 decades of watching the NFL.

For those of you ready to poo post or read between the lines, I am an open minded person of color that does not let any personal bias dictate how I believe business should be run and just want to see the Panthers win their first SB. I don’t care how we do it I just want it to happen while I’m still capable of celebrating it to the fullest.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
