Debating if you think Meeks has done well is really pointless. New coach next year = new staff

Yeah, he'll probably keep some people, but I think he's gonna put some time into finding a DC & OC suiting his system. Its very unlikely Meeks returns.

Anyone think that the reason why our special teams has been decent this year is the simple reason that this off season we actually attempted to improve the team and fix the problem with special teams. We made promoted Jeff Rodgers and then we signed some key special teams players like Marcus Hudson and Wallace Wright who has yet to play for the panthers due to injury. I really hope Wright's injury isn't serious because I believe he could help our special teams because he has a pretty good history with the Jets special teams. In fact most of the very few players we did sign in free agency were players known to be good special team players. I think special teams is very important but the players don't really get as much attention as the offense and defense players but I love watching special teams and think it plays a very important role to winning.

I read Jeff Rodgers biography on panthers.com and it seems that he is a very good special teams coach. I don't think he will be kept next year due to us getting a new staff but I wouldn't mind keeping him. Heres the bio I read

I wouldn't place any bets on Rodgers being kept, honestly. But I'd be okay with it if they did.

On defense, already mentioned Baker and Smith. Would love to see Sam Mills III stay around too (admittedly for sentimental reasons).

Offense? Fair or not, as bad as it's been I'd say anybody not named Geep Chryst has a pretty good shot of being elsewhere next season, and Chryst's chances are tied to Jim Harbaugh being the head coach.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
