If he keeps his job. It may sound great to us fans but to an owner?  It probably sounds more like hey, if we are wrong and have a losing season it's okay. Look what we have in our pockets to try again. He's thinking about why he is spending big money on these supposed experts when I can get any fan to do that sh!t.

Just looked it up and he's only been there since January of 22. Could make sense to sell the 1 this year and then load up for next year. He doesn't have any ties to Fields really and I think it could be sold to the owner that doing this could be short term pain for long term gain. If Fields turns the corner and becomes a franchise QB, they have their guy. If not, move on, draft the next one. The more I think about it, the more I think it's what I would do if I were in his position.

All of that's IF the owner is down for it. Poles got the job because the last guy got fired. I doubt he's afforded the opportunity to continue whatever got the last GM fired.

I imagine Atlanta and Vegas are going to be going after a top 3 pick as well as Carolina, so I am not sure you can say, "Move up to #6 and take the QB that falls to you."  This is so risky and bold-- but I have no doubt that Tepper is now pushing the panic button and they will make a very bold move.  In fact, I saw an interview (I think it was Good morning football--I am off this week--leave me alone about my life) and they said that everyone at the combine came away with the impression that the Panthers would be the most aggressive team. 

I fully expect us to lose three firsts, a second to move up.

I hate this and I can totally see it happening.  We've put together an outstanding coaching staff but are going to squander it by mortgaging our future paying way to much to move up for a less than elite prospect.  It's going to happen.

People don’t trade established franchise QBs. They develop them as rookies after the draft. 

Exactly.

Roll the dice at #9. Roll it again next year and the year after if he busts. Don't trade all three of those picks for one chance.

Tepper approved some good moves in terms of coaching staff hires, and hasn't done anything monumentally stupid in a few months. He's overdue.

Swinging for the fences got us Matt Rhule.

That wasn’t swinging for the fences. That was a first time owner running a poor search with a GM who didn’t want to get fired, and both have an affinity for balls dipped in sauce.

      They also didn't mind it last year during four nations, or when they beat the fins lol. Sour grapes, they had 3 pf the top four players in the world on the ice when we beat them.

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him.  He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire   As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula.  If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
