Someone else mentioned it but I have to wonder if there's thoughts within the building about switching back to a 4-3, especially with Morgan as the GM and our defense being bare bones on talent which gives us an opening to transition with brand new players. This obviously makes Evero expendable and there's people out there like Robert Saleh who can run a 4-3 defense. 

With the way the passing game has opened up, defenses are spending most of their time in nickel variations and trying to be more fluid with being able to show looks as either 4-3 or a 3-4 during a game.

Regardless of what the base defense is, the team needs talent all over it. Edge rushers are priority #1 but the team also needs to find a true #2 CB, a young defensive lineman to pair with DB (and offset his contract), and intelligent safeties (Evero's defense depends on this and all but Richardson iirc are on expiring deals this season).

If we wanted him to get a HC shot, I am not sure what setting him up with the worst defensive roster in the NFL is accomplishing. 

He probably has a thought or two about that too.

OTOH, DJ Johnson was his bonus baby so his hands weren't totally off the yoke when the trouble started.

When it came to personnel matters, Fitterer deferred to damn near everybody.

Yeah. OTOH I do see value in involving the coordinators and the coaches in getting what they need.

I think probably the larger drawback of letting the coaches have that influence (the DJ pick notwithstanding) is the lack of continuity we have experienced. Because the next coach is less likely to have the same criteria as the last guy and here you go with players not fitting or whatever and the constant change doesn't allow our front office and scouts to find their sweet spot with the coaches' value system.

I don't necessarily disagree with doing that. You just have to be wise about it....kinda lile everything else 😄

Floyd Reese once said he didn't always like involving coaches in personnel evaluation because they had a tendency to see a particular play, fall in love with that player and not see the whole picture.

Of course on the flipside, we have the example our GM and scouts loving Bryce Young while Frank Reich preferred CJ Stroud 😕

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
