Just speculating... I wouldn't be surprised if Frank or Fitt is fired soon. Very soon.

Our defensive starters are quite talented.  Unfortunately they're hurt. 

We lack a true number one, although I am.giving Thailand credit,  he's playing better than most thought he would.  It's a shame Chark isn't more of an impact. Missing 2 good starting guards, plus down their top 2 backups. Nobody survives that kind of attrition.  

Sorry, but the facts don't agree with you. 

so injuries is the excuse du juor for this week.  Interesting

Sorry but they do   the personnel on the Panthers does not match up,

Put  the Panthers personnel against any of the top 10 teams in the league and then lets talk.  The look at the drafts of the final years of Hurney and Fitterer and it’s a failure 

All teams have injuries  

it’s the very same reason NE has fallen apart as well

You can’t win many races running mules against thoroughbreds, and mules are what is left on this team

It may shock some people. But a lot of our “best” players would be average anywhere else. 

We are running the spread with guys brought in for an opposite type of offense. We are running a 3-4 zone with guys brought in to run 4-3 man primarily. It’s a clusterfug.

And the worst part, most of the guys “brought in” aren’t really that good to begin with.

Panthers fans …always overvaluing players other nfl teams do not ..that defense probably has 3 players worth anything to any other team…and one of them is made  of glass 

Teams that draft well, win.   The latest iterations of the Panthers  haven’t

This off-season we signed the highest paid TE and RB in free agency. Not even halfway through the season, they've both been complete nonfactors and seem to have been replaced in the starting lineup by guys who were already on the roster and afterthoughts. We had already deemed those guys not good enough and now we're having to admit that while they might not be good enough, they're still better than this guy that we WAY overpaid.

Nearly $50M in total contracts between Hurst and Sanders and they can't start for a 1-6 team near the bottom of the league in most offensive categories.

Well done, Fitts.

Unfortunately we are stuck with Sanders and Hurst through next season. Both have outs with significant cap savings and minimal dead cap hits after the 2024 season. Atrocious signings though.

Yep. They'll almost certainly be here through next season.

I saw one article floating Hurst as a potential player to get traded. Like who dafuq is trading for Hayden Hurst? They watch these games too. What's to trade for?

I wonder if Fitt gets canned, if Tepper would trust Dan to run the ship for a couple years?

I don't know. Morgan leading a resurgence as GM would certainly be a Hollywood movie plot.

Who knows what's going on behind the scenes? Maybe Morgan has been a voice of reason not listened to enough or maybe he's part of the problem.

I was actually excited about Hurst after week 1 given what we had endured with the poo poo platter of Thomas/Tremble. 5/41 and a TD? Not exactly Greg Olsen in his prime output, but miles better than what we had been getting since Olsen left. Little did I know that would basically constitute 40% of his overall production so far this season.

I hated that signing in particular. Hurst is a former 1st round disappointment who has bounced around the league never sticking anywhere for a reason. Paying him like we did was just baffling.

I liked the Sanders signing... until talking to my Eagles fan buddy about him. I thought signing a good RB would help take the pressure off our rookie QB. But my buddy told me that Sanders had poo for vision as a runner and his production was completely a product of the Eagles' OL and offensive system. The dude knows ball. I had hoped it was just sour grapes. Nope. He was spot on. Sanders sucks and Philly is still a very good rushing offense.

Hurst shouldn't have been a first round TE, IMO. I don't believe age is all but a TE who is 24 when entering the draft ( when you grade on pass catching and blocking ) is such a stretch. At 24 he was playing against 18-22 year olds. He should look good when blocking and running routes.

    • Made this list after viewing multiple articles. First thoughts: Would remove Bill, Arthur, and Josh McCown I already took out Deion and replaced him with Dan Lanning. 
    • Note: List is not in order of best-least   Inactive former head coaches Mike McCarthy He doesn't get enough credit for what he's done with the Packers (especially early on) and the Cowboys. His current ceiling might not be the highest, but he's won a Super Bowl and is a respected name to stabilize a franchise. Jon Gruden Gruden left the NFL on bad terms and is trying to regain the respect of some around (and outside of) the league.   Offensive coordinators Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills The Bills' offense undoubtedly got better since Brady took over, and his name is as hot right now as it was when he took over the Panthers' OC job in 2020. He's a part of the process to make Josh Allen, already an elite quarterback, into the MVP he has been. Todd Monken, Baltimore Ravens Monken was close to the top of last year's list, and he deserves credit for making Lamar Jackson an even better passing quarterback.  Mike Kafka, New York Giants Kafka has been mentioned as a future head coach for around four years now, even though the lack of collective success in New York doesn't help. Last year, he was promoted to assistant head coach in addition to his OC title to elevate his status. Kliff Kingsbury, Washington Commanders Kingsbury had a four-year stint as the Cardinals head coach, with limited success. However, he's at a different moment of his career, and the performance with the Commanders' offense is notable. John Morton, Detroit Lions The Lions lost Ben Johnson, and John Morton has done a good job early on to replace him, as the Lions still sit among the best offenses in the NFL. Josh McCown, Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach McCown is the only position coach in this year's list, and that's because he's been mentioned as a future head coach since he finished his playing days. He's had HC interviews. Josh Grizzard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Bucs have lost their OC to HC jobs two years in a row, with Panthers' Dave Canales and Jaguars' Liam Coen. And the offense is still a top 10 unit, which almost automatically puts Grizzard in the conversation. Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh Steelers Smith had a three-year stint with the Falcons, and it didn't go great. But he's a sharp offensive mind, and if he can take the most out of the Aaron Rodgers experience in Pittsburgh, his name will be around. Klint Kubiak, Seattle Seahawks Kubiak had a fast start with the Saints last year, but one he couldn't sustain due to multiple injuries throughout the roster—which included quarterback Derek Carr. This year, he's elevated the Seahawks' offense with Sam Darnold at quarterback, and his background under Kyle Shanahan and his dad Gary Kubiak is an interesting element.   Defensive coordinators Jesse Minter, Los Angeles Chargers With a top 5 defense, Minter is one of the hottest names in this cycle. He's still relatively young at 42, has strong NFL and college coaching experience, and his leadership style is impressive—learning behind Jim Harbaugh certainly helps. Brian Flores, Minnesota Vikings As a defensive mind, Flores is as good as anyone in the NFL. He would have to answer some questions about his failed time with the Dolphins as a head coach, but he's so consistently good at DC that new opportunities should arise. Jeff Hafley, Green Bay Packers A former college head coach at Boston College, Hafley has transformed the Packers' defense after failed experiences with previous coordinators. He's a great defensive mind and an excellent communicator. Robert Saleh, San Francisco 49ers Saleh's tenure with the Jets was bad, but it's hard to blame him too much. His defenses will always be at least solid, and a more stable franchise could offer him a better shot. Jim Schwartz, Cleveland Browns Schwartz is that type of DC that has already been a head coach a long time ago (Lions, between 2009 and 2013), and it feels like he's satisfied being a coordinator. But he's been so successful with the Browns that he at least deserves to be mentioned. Anthony Campanile, Jacksonville Jaguars Campanile was highly respected during his time with the Dolphins and Packers, and now he's making the most out of his early stages as the Jaguars DC. He's considered a strong leader. Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos Joseph had a failed stint as the Broncos head coach, but he's so respected that the franchise hired him back as a DC. And he's done an excellent job in this area. Chris Shula, Los Angeles Rams Sean McVay's coaching tree is as good as there is, and Shula has been with the Rams since McVay's original coaching staff was built in 2017. He's been promoted five times, including to DC in 2024. He's made the most out of a young defensive group.   College coaches Bill Belichick, North Carolina Nobody in the NFL wanted Belichick in 2024 and 2025, but that could always change if a franchise wants a strong leader for a short period of time. Steve Sarkisian, Texas Multiple college coaches are wanting to make the transition to the NFL, and Sarkisian could be the next one. His most recent NFL experience was as the Falcons offensive coordinator between 2017 and 2018. Matt Campbell, Iowa State Perceived as a program builder, Campbell has been mentioned as a potential NFL coach for years now. Lincoln Riley, USC Riley helped develop three first overall pick quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Caleb Williams, so the blueprint of what he could do is there. Developing passers is his calling card. Ryan Day, Ohio State Day has had a lot of success in college, including a national championship in 2024. And he has experience in the NFL as a quarterbacks coach for the Eagles and 49ers under Chip Kelly. Dan Lanning, Oregon Head coach Dan Lanning has done a tremendous job with this football program. He has been the head coach since the 2022 season. Oregon went undefeated during the regular season last year and has a chance to lead them to another one this season. What are the odds that Lanning could potentially be getting interesting from other NFL teams this offseason?
