is there a worse destination than Carolina for a GM or HC?

It's a great place to be overpaid. That's really it. If you are tired of working this is the team handing out hefty retirement packages if your health can survive the toxic work environment.

Bingo. If you're ambitious and want to win and create a legacy this is the worst situation in the league hands down. If you just want to take some millions out of a billionaire's bank account and ride off laughing this is your spot.

Every job has pros and cons. Our spot sucks right now because you have to rebuild but that also gives you time.

A team like LA you have these huge contracts that you have to figure out. You have the QB (in theory) but what do you do with the roster and are people patient?

It’s about weighing what you want.

The only thing going for us, aside from money, was being in the worst division by far.  Now that the Atlanta job is open, we don’t even have that advantage.

Atl in my opinion is one decent qb away from being exceptional.  I highly suspect they target a whiz kid offensive guy in their search

Maybe the challenge of making this an average team again would appeal to some people.

It's one of 32 NFL GM jobs in the world.

If you're applying for a job at that level you back yourself to be a success at it.

The problem the Panthers have is that if you're applying for multiple NFL GM jobs the Panthers opening will be at the bottom of your list, so we won't get the perceived 'best' GM this offseason.

No. This is the worst situation for any professional to work in. A micromanaging boss that knows nothing about your job yet is in your office every damn day telling you what he thinks and wants done? Good luck finding someone worth a damn to sign on for that.

Honestly, this team is a blank slate for a GM.  Unlike other teams in the league that have players under very long contracts, the Panthers currently only have 7 players under contract for 3 years or longer currently. We also currently do not have a ton of dead money going into next season. We are not in a bad position salary cap wise.

    • Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing. 
    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
