it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling. 

lol yeah without a doubt to a degree.  There are always some elements of playing to strengths in every roster.  AT moving to the slot vs outside would be an example, moving to a 3-4 for Brown and Burns is another.  Overlooking the skillset of his OL is by far the biggest mistake he has made this offseason.  Lying about who helped design a playbook though would have no advantage whether it be PR or hype about the team.  That's when things overblown by us fans and legit complaints get lumped into nonsense ones.

Sure, it does. 

because they hired Thomas Brown and the initial setup in reality was he wasn't being employed as a real NFL OC.  Frank was the OC for practical purposes. So to make Thomas Brown sound the best possible.....you overstate things he is involved with.   To make him look good and sound good.  It's all PR.  Nothing wrong with it.  Which is why I don't cherry pick that one instance out as nefarious lying.  They have sold much bigger bologna than that sugar coated version to hype Brown's job/role. 

That's what saying Thomas Brown built this playbook from the ground up does...it overstates and overplays what he is and did.   To make him look good. And that is the business.  For everyone.   It's not about lying.  It's just PR to sound good.  Reality is he never built it from the ground up.  He took Frank Reich playbook.  Because the base of the playbook was going to be Frank's....and added to it. But that doesn't sound as good when looking/talking about Thomas Brown.  The newb OC who wasn't even allowed to call plays when he came here. 

So it's a word game.  I just acknowledge it's a 24/7 PR game for essentially all teams.

Yeah see this is where it starts sounding crazy.  All of this for something your average fan doesn't really care about.  Coaches exaggerating how good his players are/his coaching it makes sense and happens all the time.  Hell they SHOULD do this to a degree to give their team confidence.  What you are talking ab out looks like this...

Yeah, not going down that road again 😄

There's actually a lot of good discussion being had here. Not gonna derail it responding to that kind of silliness.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
