We need to add a new non-negotiable to our next coaching hire. 

Last year it was, are you a college coach? Then it's a no.

This year it needs to be, have you been relieved from your coaching duties? Then it's a no.

The Panthers need a young, up-and-coming, innovative and untarnished coach to take the reigns.

They will end up with a cast off which is what they deserve given the situation, hell that is what Frank was. Given the FO shortcomings, the level of talent , the changes needed to the roster to build what they are talking about and the way the team is run coaching wise it's going to be another mess. And that isn't even taking into account for the Teppers input.

I hope it's at least entertaining so hire anyone named so far and I'm not sure what really changes big picture. Even doing a great HC hire, lol I know, and it's the same owner and FO so how would that really ever succeed?

There's a lot worse things than castoffs.

Plenty of good coordinators and assistants get picked up because their last boss was fired.

Not when they are being brought into save the idiots from themselves. If this was a functional and just mediocre team I would absolutely agree. In this case it's comical to me.

Well, I think everybody agrees that something is going to change this offseason. General thought is that it won't be wholesale.

So basically, you have to make the effort. Who knows? Maybe you get it right.

Or maybe you make it worse, but either way...

I'll give Dorsey one thing though...

So far, he's been tasked with running offenses that were managed by big, rocket armed gunslinger type quarterbacks. As a QB himself, Dorsey was way closer to Bryce Young than Josh Allen.

I know Greg Olsen believes heavily that Dorsey is a smart coach. I do kind of wonder what he might do with a quarterback closer to his own style.

Allen 6'5"   Dorsey 6'4"   Young 5'10"

Bill and McDaniels were carried by Brady end of discussion 

To a point. Breer is correct that he did also win with guys like Cassel and Brissett. Hell, even Mac Jones looked better when McDaniels was running their attack.

The man does know offense. I don't think anybody would deny that.

McDaniels to me is a lot like Hue Jackson. They're both really good offensive coordinators but terrible head coaches.

They also both have really...unusual personalities 😕

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      By MHS831 · Posted

      For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
