I don’t see any angle that makes us better than last. 

The one positive IMO is that you aren't tied down to anyone long-term (even Bryce with it being a rookie contract wouldn't be crippling to move on from if he shows no development).  If you are confident in yourself as a GM, you can mold this team to your liking as opposed to going to a team with less flexibility.

GM hires shouldn't be expecting to come in to good situations. Like in the business world executives are typically brought in to fix disasters and clean up messes. That's why they make big money to move to shitty places.

IF Tepper can sound genuine in saying he won't meddle then no GM worth a poo should shy away from a challenge.

 

I can see why coaches would think differently. We are screwed on that front and will be interesting to see that play out

Yea...Chargers are 45m over the cap with another 25m in dead money...they are playing their top 6 salaries 180m... what kind of talent are they going to be able to sign... they have a QB and a high first round pick....only plus they have but a lot more than we have.

Doesn't help that they are an afterthought in their hometown.

The in-vogue thing is to sh!t on the Panthers for some easy laughs so obviously at the bottom.

The GM search is a whole different animal than the HC search. The idea that Tepper is firing GMs left and right is laughable. Fitterer was literally the first GM he hired, and he gave him 3 years and 2 coaches; he even waited until the end of the season to quietly let him go.

Perception is reality. The last GM ruined the franchise and got to watch his boss throw a drink onto some guy’s head on the way out. Yeah that’s not a job I’d want if I had literally any other choice (including staying in my current job and waiting for something to else to come along).

Bingo, so much of a clean slate with #2 pick, money, and new (granted unknown) ownership.

Spanos is a cheap dude and the Chargers are in cap HELL with aging roster so you have a lot more work cut out than you think 

I’d say

Wash, NE, LV, LA, and Us is my order in appealing-ness 

The Chargers have a franchise QB. Nobody else on the list does - that's the top job (unless you're super confident in Washington that Williams / Maye is just as good).

This is my thought exactly. This is a really easy job to make yourself look good.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
