i have no problem with this being posted here and this has nothing to do about catmans post but rather how does zod not move this thread but he moves all the julius peppers threads. boggles my mind.

with that being said he is the prime example of how important the WLB position is in our system. without a doubt a HOF player.

Yeah, I'm sure he come coach with the panthers right away.

Doubt the dude even has the desire to coach at this time.

He's sat at home for a while waiting for a call and delaying his decision to retire until now... The next best thing to playing is coaching and I'd guess the guy is chomping at the bit to get involved somehow.

Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't see him jumping right into coaching right away. Not only that, but I doubt the panthers contact him.

Now I do like the idea of brooks as an assistant coach.

I think it would have to be beason contacting brooks.

But what do I know. Just thinking outloud at this point.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
