One thing I still don't understand, please tell me if you know.

Why did Meeks make a lateral move FROM a championship calibur team? It seems odd to me that if he was so good that he would move to a middling to above average team. Do you think he came because there are head coaching implications in the future?

new coach for the colts was going to be doing a house cleaning to get his own staff in. don't blame him but from what i understand it was not what the colts org. was expecting. they thougght the staff wold remain the same.

anyway, meeks knew that it was likely that his future wasn't going to be there with the new HC so he left on his own.

He has been considered for several HC positions in the past, most notably the redskins and jets. Getting offers down the road isn't out of the question. The fad is, though, going after the young bloods hoping to find a mike tomlin. someone of meeks age will probably have less of a chance to get an HC position anytime soon. Helping the Panthers turn their defense around would be a great step in the right direction. Making that happen should be easy considering the players he has to work with.

panthers aren't giving anyone contracts past 2010 anyway so if it's a short term deal that he got it won't be unlike anyone else.

I have no prob with zone as long as we are play physical and stopping the other team. I mean Pitt and NE use lots of zone coverage and it works well so there is no reason it want work for us. I just dont like the soft ass coverage I have been seeing for two years now. The bend but dont break crap is what I hate the most.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
