You're David Tepper, how do you structure a deal/offer to get Ben Johnson's attention?

One of the most attractive things about the Panthers job is that there are zero top notch teams/QBs in the division at the moment. Once the ball gets rolling in the right direction, a coach could be successful here for a long time. Whichever of the NFCS teams gets coach and QB right will be dominant. I still think that QB might be Bryce, but it’s too early to tell. Either way, we need to get coach right this time.

The problem is I think the Falcons take a massive step forward next season in this regard.

They're going to replace Smith with a real coach, and then maybe trade for someone like Fields.  While I don't think Fields is a good passer, putting him with a good offensive coach along with Bijan, Pitts, and London could be very scary team.

And even if it's not Fields, with the weapons they have on offense, they just need to find the HC and QB and they're cooking with gas.  They should be a very attractive destination for a HC if/when they fire Smith, those weapons aren't something most HC openings have.

And they all have more Draft capital to go after their guy. 

It's clear by now that Bryce Young isn't the guy, bar some Hollywood ending turn around in his career.

when someone guarantees you $210 million for your signature, you take a hard evaluation of your life and what's important and you sign your name on that line

People can talk all they want about coaches not wanting Tepper but at the end of the day Tepper has the $$$$$$$$$$$$ to get ANYONE he wants.

Just like it was clear that all the HOFers with rough rookie seasons were lost causes

He hasn't flashed once. We're 11 games in and there isn't a single throw where you think "goddamn, alright, this kid has something".

We celebrate routine NFL throws he makes as they're that few and far between.

      Penn is hanging with Illinois. They've got to rebound better off all these threes Illinois is jacking up. If they do better on the boards in the second half they'll have a chance late.

      Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Dalton is ancient by NFL standards. Howell is only 25.  Howell's only year as a starter he put up almost 4k yards, 21/21 with a 43.2 QBR while being sacked 65 times.  This past year and the 3rd starting, which many would consider to be Bryce's best, he barely put up 3k yards 23/11 with a QBR of 47.6 while being sacked 27 times.  Pickett 4 years in the league, with 27 starts, he's amassed 4900 yards, 16/16 with a 53.6 QBR.  Now if Bryce were injured for a season, which QB would you say has more potential to step in and run an offense? I'd say Howell only because in a single season he threw for 1k yards less, more tds and granted more ints in 11 less games as a starter than Pickett's whole career.  Everyone is saying Pickett sucks, Howell sucks, but what I'm seeing is Bryce is right on par with them. Howell is on his 5th team, so is KP, yet Bryce just got a 5th year extension putting up pretty much similar numbers. The bar for QB on this organization is really low.  Did I want Howell? I didn't care. I wanted someone, anyone, who can potentially be better than what we've had the past 3 years or who we signed as a backup. We do not have even a mid tier NFL QB on the roster right now.  If Howell was brought in as camp fodder and didn't make the cut, wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. If we bring in another QB via the draft, I hope it's someone who could have the potential to be a starting QB with some development because that's the whole point.  We can't be afraid to bring in anyone who might have the potential to unseat Bryce or take his job if he's injured. The goal is to get winning seasons and make SB runs with hopefully a victory or 2. Pickett doesn't accomplish that. Dalton hasn't been able to even be in consideration for that role in over 2 years.
