The question is why in the hell would Ben Johnson want us?

 

We are literally the worst situation in the NFL. Unless Tepper massively overpays no chance he comes here.

he doesn't

 

he and his agent are using this "appearing together" as leverage to get mega money from a competent NFL franchise. Tepper is basically the leverage tool

This is so true. 

 

I gave this stranger a ride to the store he literally smelled sickening. I'm talking about he killed my appetite for the rest of the day I couldn't eat anything. That scent will always haunt me. Humans body odor is something serious if you don't care to wash. Never again will I give a stranger a ride in my vehicle.

well... the funk is settling in...

But I would argue the panthers/NFL don’t know what Ben wants in general. I’m not a “rah rah needs fire guy” but Ben comes off as a quiet dude.

He pulled himself out of head coaching interviews because he felt like he wasn't ready.

That's not the sign of a power hungry control freak.

He wanted him last year too. I'm sure he told him about the idea of possibly trading up to #1 for a QB. But Johnson might have his choice of jobs this year. He could go somewhere like LA and have Herbert or go somewhere like the Bears and have his choice of rookies or hang onto Fields and put #1 on the auction block. Again.

That’s fair. 
 

I like the idea of Ben but I’m just not as enamored with him like the rest of the league is right now. I just get the feeling that wherever he goes expectations are gonna be super high and it will be interesting to see if he sinks or swims.

It will take 4yrs 70mil to get him here...plus one year to prove bryce aint it...and to unfk everything Fitt jacked up....

The money isn't an issue, has no impact on the team.  The other points are super valid.  Everyone expects the next coach to be a Bryce fanatic and they honestly shouldn't be.  Be a Panther's fanatic.  This team will still exist if Bryce turns out to not be NFL material.  Build up the roster and give him the tools to sink or swim on his own with no excuses.  If he swims, fantastic. If he sinks, after this year, you have the capital to acquire your guy. I'm not sold on the notion that BY is gonna run coaches off. Take this season to get your offensive identity in order, start getting your pieces and go from there.  You already know if you're an offensive coach that the priority and focus is going to be on the offense. Use it to your advantage.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
