Jim Skipper let go

It was what it was...

Deangelo Williams stated he would walk if Skipper wasn't kept on board (per Gantt) in an article dated a few weeks back. He said he didn't want to play for any other coach. This could mean we are going in a different direction. For the Panthers sake, I hope we can secure D-Will.

He didn't say that. He said that Skipper staying would definitely have a big impact on his decision to resign here or not.

Skipper is a great coach.....but he was Fox's right hand man. He probably represents the "old way" more than anyone. I think it is probably wise for Rivera not to keep someone who was on the same page of Fox to degree Skip probably was.

Lol come on guys the past 2 weeks everyone here praises the staff and now we get our panties in a bunch because they're not bringing our RB's coach back. Take a look at this list.

Davis

Foster

Hoover

Goings

Deangelo

Stewart

Goodson

Sutton

What do they all have in common? .... Talent. Sometimes players make coaches. Not saying it's completely true here in this case but Skipper is not the end all be all of what our RB's can be.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
