Let's Give OLC Dave Magazu Some Credit

I'll tell you what assistant I'm afraid of losing. Offensive line coach Dave Magazu ... Geoff Hangartner, Frank Omiyale,Jeremy Bridges, all considered quality backups were no longer with the Panthers entering OTAs. We retained all starters but every sports writer (and even Jordan Gross) was saying we were in deep trouble if anybody got hurt. What does Magazu give us when Gross got hurt/placed on IR? He produces a line that starts second year 7th round draft pick with 0 NFL regular season experience that opens the way for 155.57 rushing yards per game through 7 weeks and allows a sack once every 13.47 drop backs (which is along the lines of what the Eagles and Ravens have allowed). Then we lose Jeff Otah, and put in another second year 7th round draft choice (but this one was limited to the practice squad his rookie year). Then we proceed to rush for 183 yards per game and allow 1 sack every 15.2 drop-backs to close the season. I think Mr. Magazu deserves some credit.

I said the same thing after the season was over. I totally agree. Plus, two running backs at 1,100 for the first time ever. I was at the game against the Saints and was siked.

I was there and was psyched as well. I was drinking only hot chocolate at the game, what were you drinking??

Ha...I didn't even want to say the word, had a mental blank...then I go and spell it wrong, what the eff is wrong with me.

Not to be gay, but I was actually drinking hot chocolate. It was cold. :P

Yes we are very thankful for our good offensive line and their coach.

It also seemed like when Gross and Otah went out the false starts went away.

Did anyone else noticed that or is it just me?

I didn't realize it but I think your right. Well at least all that money and those 1st round draft picks, is being put to good use.

He's gotten some credit here, but if people want to say he deserves more, I wouldn't argue.

I think we were the only few, along with Fireball, who were happy to see him bumped up to OLine coach when Screaming Napolean was let go. You're right though, more credit is never a bad thing with Magz! ;)

      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

      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.
