The Panthers have been really good at keeping things quiet....

“He who shall not be named” was the type that didn’t get the nuances or garner the respect in a room. If at the end of the day, it was mostly his decisions as Panthers czar, then the people who’s advice he wasn’t taking seriously likely had no problem texting media/analyst types about things.

Right now, it seems we have Dave, Scott, Sul, Dan & the staff collaborating with each other and none of them have any interest in leaking things out. The objective is collaboration, respect and growth. No incentive to overflow with leaks subtract misdirection.

Did some thinking this morning and I am realizing that this is the most concealed that this office has ever been. Seems like every expert, analyst, or media source has been dead wrong when trying to forecast what our plan is. 

If you think about recent years under who shal not be named ... we knew everything and our moves were predictable. 

So here is my question to the huddle.... Why do you think this is? How have we become so good at keeping things internal?

My theory: Respect. I believe our FO/Staff has a lot of respect around the league and when they have conversations with other offices, they keep the door shut.

 

Let me know your thoughts.
 

I think of it is the whole beat writers suck. No one has legit "insider" sources. Most times now panthers.com will post an article minutes after all the joes, daves, and elliss post one "breakin" twattar news. 

Plus normally you have to built up the relationship and earn trust, theres been a massive staff turn over and a couple new FO types. The rhule crew were not here longer enough to start leaking and the only hold overs are one year campy&tabor.

Maybe Im off - feel free to share material of someone predicting our offseason coaching hires and offseason acquisitions. 
 

Then we can close this thread.

Did you not have a person who is not high in the organization giving you information?  I might be wrong or misinterpreting your meaning.

I can see where this question is coming from... I wouldnt bucket this into this category since this is a friend of mine just sharing his observations from an unofficial capacity. He isn't in the rooms or having conversations with decision makers. 

He is walking by and seeing stuff on boards and screens.

I did not know the context, which is why I asked.  So you are referring to leaks that are coming from an official capacity--from people with first hand info.

However, I would say that if the tightness of information is that intentional, that everyone in the building would be silenced--but you are basically saying the info you get is second hand and based on interpretations of snapshots that may not be valid.  I would think if the Panthers found out that he was doing this, he might get into some hot water, based on the thread title.  I agree--things have been very quiet compared to prior regimes.

It's not that concealed.  They spoke in plain site.  Fitterer told us that if they move up they better be all in one guy.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
