I wouldn't necessarily take that as discouraging. Could just mean they're bargaining on terms.

Remember, contracts are negotiated.

proehl always somehow got open, at the right time, even though he wasn't the fastest guy on the field

i trust rivera's judgment on this one. if he thinks proehl knows how to develop receivers and hires him i'm in favor of it

pretty much every zone defense has "dead spots" (there's only so much ground one person can cover effectively). Proehl was very good at finding those spaces.

And yes, that is a teachable skill.

he gets 5 steps on a LB then gets tackled from behind. The joys and pains of being a veteran receiver.

Jan. 21, 2011 4:35 p.m. - The Panthers are in the process of finalizing a deal that would make former player Ricky Proehl their new assistant WRs coach. The Panthers are still looking to hire a more experienced WRs coach. Panthers RapidReports

Assistant WR's coach? Does that mean he won't be the actual WR's coach?

He was coaching as a player when he was on the team and he owns a training facility. He has experience training and coaching player in his facility, not to mention invaluable playing experience in big games. maybe they're just tacking on the "assistant" and hiring a lead wr's coach (if this happen) as a safety net because he doesnt have experience on a team staff as a coach. either way, he can't cost too much to employ and it could only help. I bet smitty would enjoy coming to practice just to see and work for him. could give him a new energy in camp and practice. he'd be a good mentor to lafell and all the wr's.

On a side note: I had a dream last night we draft bowers. One of those crazy vivid dreams right before you wake up. Thought it really happened.

I'm still of the mind that Tolbert did a good job with our rookies this past year in developing them. I could see us bringing him back (provided he's not taken already), with Ricky as the assitant WR coach.

I also would not be too upset if Ricky got the full-time gig either.

Do you not read anything about football before positing? Tolbert has accepted a position in Denver on Fox's staff....happened days ago.

I like him better as an assistant and getting someone with more experience as the WR coach. He has everything you want as a coach as lots of people have pointed out in this thread - long career as a player with average talent, helped other WRs he played with, obviously knows how to communicate and teach with his current position, etc.

But, out of all the position coaches, the WR coach will have to most challenging role in the next couple of years. We are very young at the position and could really use someone who's proven.

No, sorry I'm not up to your elite posting mad skillz expectations...

I've just gone through a very long work week, and haven't had the chance to catch up on what's been happening in the NFL. OMFG, I'm sooooooooo sorry to have offended your delicate sensibilities. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the update though. I'll try and be a better positer in the future. You fuging wanker...

I think Proehl is being looked at as the future WR coach, but an experienced vet coach will be brought in to mentor him as he learns the role. Then in a year or two, the plan is for the vet coach to decide it's time to retire, with Ricky taking over.

Distinct possibility, especially if Steve Reed is right about them trying to talk Jerry Sullivan out of retiring.

      Derek Carr Retires

      By fanpanther · Posted

      D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

      I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.

      I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
