Is it worth the trade off?

Consider this for a moment.

If the Panthers had beaten the Cardinals then beaten the Eagles and gone on to the Super Bowl, then at this very moment Mike Trgovac would still be the defensive coordinator.

Add in that with this season ending in a Super Bowl appearance, it's a lot less likely that there would have been any significant coaching changes next season. Thus, we'd probably have headed into next year with Trgovac too, and possibly all the departed underlings as well.

So which outcome would you prefer?

A) Make it to the Super Bowl and keep the prior staff for the foreseeable future since there'd be no reason to rearrange a winning staff

B) Get bounced from the playoffs and have a major coaching shakeup that likely alters the future dramatically (for better or worse)

I don't agree with you there at all. Historically, teams that are very successful often lose their coaching staff to other teams looking for "good" talent. Look at the 2004 Pats for an example... in just one year after a Super Bowl, they lost both their OC Charlie Weis, and DC Romeo Crennel (this is why they stuck out in my mind). They also lost several assistant coaches, including Jeff Davidson.

So in essence, even if we had won the Super Bowl, I think it even more likely that we would not have kept our current coaching staff, including Mike Trgovac.

If we had won the Super Bowl that would mean that we didn't have the coaching meltdown that was witnessed in the Arizona game. That would make keeping the coaching staff in tact easier to take. Sal Sunseri might have left to go to Alabama any way and I'm sure seveeral of the others would have jumped at new and better positions. We would have had a turnover either way. Since we sisn't win the SB I'm glad we had the mass exodus. Change is good, especially when the status quo isn't getting the desired effects.

It depends on what market is left, which after the Super Bowl, isn't that much. Most teams try to get their jobs filled, likely passing up on the favorites, if they're still active. Had the Vagies came out of the NFC, Spags wouldn't be in St. Louis now - Chip Rosenbloom preferred Frazier. Jim Schwartz probably wouldn't have been the Detroit guy if the Titans were still alive.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
