Come fix the Panthers Bill!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bill Parcells doesn't sound like a man ready to retire anytime soon.

On a conference call with New York reporters to discuss his enshrinement in the New York Giants' Ring of Honor on Sunday night, Parcells was asked about his future. And Parcells, who recently turned over control of the Miami Dolphins to general manager Jeff Ireland but remains with the team as a daily consultant, said he is open to doing something new.

"Well that is a good question," Parcells said when asked about what his future holds now. "I am not a sit around the fire place guy. I don't know. I am not certain about it. We will see what happens when the time comes. I know I want to do something even if it is not day-to-day or something like that, I know I want to do something. I don't like sitting around. I like to get up and go do something. We will figure it out when the time comes."

When asked about his health, Parcells, 69, said he is doing well.

"I am doing pretty good," Parcells said. "I got my weight way down. I am feel pretty good, I work out good. I have been pretty fortunate. You have little things here and there but when you are my age, that is what happens. You keep the truck moving if you can."

Parcells can reportedly leave the Dolphins organization at any time and still be paid the $12 million due on his four-year contract that runs through the 2011 season.

Director of scouting?

I'd fire Hurney and Morrison right now and let him be GM/President and whatever other title he wants

Hurney is a salary cap genius (supposedly). That's the only reason I would want to keep him on the payroll. Sure Parcells is a genius when it comes to drafting, but I don't know if I trust him in the finance department.. he has no experience there.

He basically drafted Carpenter because of his lineage.. Parcells coached Bobby's father back in the day.

Yeah, I like Parcells, he did a nice job building Miami. I guess everyone misses on draft picks on occasion, some more than others... cough Al Davis cough

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
