Why would Ben Johnson come to Carolina for any reason other than money? You have a meddling owner who has had 5 head coaches on two different teams. It's a recipe for disaster and the reputation he has among coaching circles is most likely horrible. 

His family is close by?? Loved bryce young? Enjoys challenges? Wants to work with evero?  

Depending on his relationship with stanley it could be alll for not. 

I mean if any coach comes here and turns this squad into winners, they would be legends.

We have a meddling owner because he doesn't hire guys like this.. he hires "The hot college upstart" or "I know this guy just got fired mid-season but fuggit he was on a SB winning coaching staff." He didn't come out of the gate meddling lol

We may not be the most attractive job but Johnson is a dude that turned Goff into a winner again so I doubt he's too worried about his QB right at the start.

While we poo on Tepper, willingness to spend on coordinators etc is probably attractive.

The whole question is if he can convince coaches he really will let them do their thing without interference. It's why I think hiring a president would be the right move, signals a real change in how he plans to be involved, then.

Did Tepper interfere with Rhule? I thought Rhule ran his own kingdom? As for Frank, he definitely stepped in to try to salvage that poo show. Tepper is too involved in the operations, personnel etc. but it seems like he leaves the coaches alone unless it is going really bad.

I can see it now. Detroit gets bounced in the 1st Rd and Tepper comes calling with that massive contract for a OC who just got bounced in the 1sr round.

 

I have cooled off on Ben Johnson. He looked bad tonight vs Dallas. With all those weapons he still looked bad. Imagine what he will look like with our offense with no weapons yikes!

He grew up in Asheville and was likely a fan of the team in high school during their 2003 Super Bowl run.

Whether or not that means anything to him or is anything significant, unknown.

Coordinators who can't coordinate for poo, sure. Our offense took a nosedive from an NYFD firefighter and secondary coach as head coach. Money isn't everything. 

Tepper is the ultimate square peg guy.

Eh Evero is a good coordinator. But he doesn't have great pieces for his scheme. Possible Brown is the same, hard to tell. Evero's D, between injuries and the shittiness of our offense, is working under impossible strain and still doing OK. Good enough to repeatedly put us in position to win games with even an average offense.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
