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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Hypothetical question draft content*

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
