Panthers interview requests

See, this is where the logic of "Hey, let's do things like that one successful team" breaks down.

It's fine to be impressed with the Steelers record. Using that as justification to request an interview with Matt Canada? Not so much 😕

Yes--here is one of the articles about it--includes some names like Bienemy as well.

If I recall correctly, the year that we hired Ron Rivera, oddsmakers had Bill Cowher listed as the betting favorite.

(pretty sure Jon Gruden had nice odds as well)

Big GM interviews today.

The Brian Johnson/Alec Halaby chirp by Caplan is uh, erhmm..

And then the Morgan one - I think we all suspected he'd get legit consideration.  I would hope there would still be some overhaul to our scouting dept even if its the case.  The crew that coalesced on these last 2 drafts should not be something to model after.

Which could be a good thing. I think the Reich hire always felt rushed last year. Part of me deep down wonders if we were so eager to make a hire that’s why we didn’t give Steichen a serious look and didn’t even bother to reach out to Gannon

Reich hire felt rushed for sure but only putting your focus on one candidate was recipe for disaster.  I imagine with this process there's contingencies in place for if even your 5th preferred candidate is hired away.

This is utterly false. I highly doubt anyone knows anything at PFN about the search that the Panthers beat reporters wouldn't know first. It is highly "suspected" that the Panthers will like Halaby due to his background in analytics and connections with Sportsology in the past. I noted a few days ago how it was interesting the Champ Kelly news came out the following day while they were interviewing Halaby almost as a distraction. 

I do not doubt Halaby will be a finalist for this role, but to just clump Brian Johnson in with Halaby just because they are with the same organization is lazy reporting to generate interactions. Johnson’s performance has been clear and I highly doubt a Harvard grad and analytics "guru" would vouch and attach his name to for somebody the entire Eagles organization and fan base seems to despise and hint at replacing through every media outlet available.

The only way I can imagine these folks promoting Morgan to GM is if they are bringing in one of these guys to serve as President/Ops Director/etc. 

That opens up AGM for somebody like an Adrian Wilson or similar.

I'm not interested in either of them.

    • 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.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
