So Morgan hasn’t been officially named GM, but is helping with HC interviews, is that common? I thought Tepper wanted the HC to pick the GM? 


Tepper and the panthers have said nothing about any of this. No idea what they want.

Speculation on everyone's part.  Mentioned wanting alignment and connected the dots between all the candidates for HC/GM and ran with the notion the HC is going to hire the GM or whatever.

The Head Coach should not be a QB baby sitter. That’s the job of the offensive staff. Some play callers can succeed as Head Coaches, many more cannot. I’d much rather have a defensive minded head coach that knows how to delegate. 

In the interest of Bryce’s development, it makes sense for there to be continuity in offensive scheme.  Hiring an offensive minded HC checks that box. I’d be surprised if they hired a DC as head coach of they believe Bryce can be salvaged.

I've mentioned that with some other folks over on the former bird app.  If your HC is spending time trying to "fix" your QB they are spending less time being the HC.  OC/QB coaches job to get the most out of your offensive players.  That's why I never believed we needed an OC to pair with Bryce.  We just need a good coach.

Baker Mayfield is a good example of how the system and supporting cast can make a mediocre QB good.  He was not good here with WR Moore and the OL was considered better than average.  The defense was good.  He goes to Tampa Bay, and leads them to a playoff berth and win.  They want him back. 

I think Bryce will improve with weapons and in a new system that will probably be designed to accommodate his skill set.   In college, Bryce was good (footwork) when he had time to throw.  The OL will get better when BC and Corbett return, and I think Ekwonu needs an offseason of work on technique and focus.  He had 10 false starts in 2023 and 4 holding penalties--all because he was not confident in his ability to block an edge rusher.  Mechanics will improve this. 

Will this be enough for Bryce?  We will find out.

Absolutely bonkers to design the offseason appointments around Young.

I’d love to keep a count on all that gave up on Bryce. Get an Offensive scheme that fits him, along with some help around him, and you will see the Alabama kid you saw a year ago. Everyone…and I mean everyone…their main concern when we drafted him was his durability. He proved that in a year of getting slammed around like a rag doll. He will put on some muscle, get a competent coach, and he will come around.

      Friday camp news and notes

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
