In September 2017, Mike Lombardi made headlines by criticizing Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson: "He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I’ve ever seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL."[28] Pederson would lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship later that season.

December 2012...

Two hours after a report that Ron Rivera would remain the Carolina Panthers' head coach in 2013, now another report states the opposite -- that Rivera could be fired as early as today.

Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network is sticking to his report from last week, reiterating this morning that he expects Ron Rivera will be fired as head coach of the Carolina Panthers today. Reports out of Charlotte indicate Rivera has not talked about his future with players during their exit interviews, which are being conducted this morning.

Conventional wisdom among analysts is that Carolina will take their time, and find their new GM prior to deciding on Ron Rivera's future -- but if Lombardi's sources are right, this is going to be a crazy day.

I mean we gave up a metric ton for the pick.

If we get it wrong we've set the franchise back 3 years.

No it doesn't lol It sets us back 0 years because we'll have all of our assets 3 years from now, which is when we will know if the QB we drafted is the real deal or not.

Texans are going to take one of Stroud or Young. I feel pretty comfortable in that. So they will be taking Stroud 😉 

Are you aware that Watsons agent is same for stroud?

That was as messy as NFL gets....you know theres still some hurt feelings...

I'm sure he represents other players currently playing for the Texans. These guys are pros and a huge part of their job is keeping a good working relationship with all the teams. Just because a situation becomes untenable for a player and a team doesn't mean that agent's relationship does the same. Quite the contrary.

I didnt see one and it was a bad blood deal. He could have already told them, "its not in your best interest to draft QB stroud."

Unless telling them not to draft Stroud is coming from Stroud himself, then the agent is doing his client a massive disservice. An agent's job is to represent his client and letting personal pissing matches get in the way of that would make him a bad agent.

There was months, no over one year of back and forth between texans and david. Again as far unhappy player goes, this was of the extreme type. Team was pissed out too. He also sat out for a full year while getting 15million to do so. In the old days there were for sure agents that blacklisted teams and same went for teams. This was that level of "fug off, I will never do business with you again" type feelings. Texans were rumored to release alll the tiny towel massages, Im sure that didnt go over well with david.....

I forgot the player and agent, plus this was MLB. But the braves had a agreement done&faxed, after spending lots of time hammering out the details. The agent took the fax and sent it to SD and signed there soon after. In the following days the numbers came out and the braves GM saw they were the same as his agreed offer. He publicity stated that the braves would never sign any client repped by that agency for as long as he was GM. 

Herniay and dave for sure had issues with certain agent/agent firms. I dont believe finessererre has that problem, but hes still green as GM. People are still britter and hold stoopid things against each other....

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
