First off, I am lurking on the boards everyday but rarely post anything. After searching the forums on this topic I thought this would be a good time to start a new post.

I heard this rumor from a guy a work in regards to Cowher coming to coach the Panthers next year (we hear this rumor every day), but also bringing Phillip Rivers with him. He claimed Rivers contract is running out in San Diego and Cowher is going to bring him back to his home state of NC.

I am sure this is 99.9% untrue but something to think about.

Rivers signed a contract in August 2009:

8/24/2009: Signed a seven-year, $98.25 million contract. The deal contains $38.15 million guaranteed, including a $19.55 million signing bonus and Rivers' 2009-2010 base salaries. $6 million of Rivers' 2011 salary is guaranteed for injury, but not skill or performance.

2010: $6.6 million (+ $6 million option bonus)

2011: $8.4 million

2012: $10.2 million

2013: $12 million

2014: $13.8 million

2015: $15.75 million

2016: Free Agent

Looking at this contract, I can honestly say (new CBA notwithstanding) that Philip Rivers isn't going anywhere until after the 2012 season, at least. Down the road this deal will get restructured to spread out the money currently due from 2013 - 2015 to keep him in San Diego.

A) Rivers is from Alabama

B) To get him we would have to give San Diego something close to this : 1st round pick, 3rd round pick, 4th round pick, Jimmy Clausen, DeAngelo Williams, Jordan Gross, Steve Smith, Jon Beason

Pretty simply, aint gonna happen

I'd do that minus Beason

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
