OK.  Done arguing with you.  

You're upset Belichick was hired but have no reco on who the better hire would've been.

You're upset the roster sucks but have no reco on who the better recruits would've been.

You're the guy who gets in an uber, tells the driver he's going the wrong way, and then the driver asks "which way should I go" and you reply "I don't know, just not this way".

 

It's not my job to identify the candidates and the recruits. But I can tell you that the coaching and the playing is ass and that it wasn't a lack of resources issue.

Again, who would you have hired and recruited.  Revisionist history is for cowards. 

Is it really revisionist history?  or was the UNC/Belichick hire always an obvious bad move that some just opted to do what sports fans do and work about convince themselves something not smart would be okay. 

I mean, you could bump the thread from when Bill was first hired.  It was always dumb.  Bill isn't a college coach.  

The Panthers shouldn't hire Dabo if somehow Canales got fired and Dabo was able to be talked out of Clemson.  I don't really need to give you a better name for Carolina to point out Dabo w/ the Panthers is just silly.

The idea fans can't complain without the direct ability / ideas to solve things is wild. 

This ain't the first time that has been throw around in here. It's funny every time it comes up.

WeLl ThEy ArE pRoFeSsIoNaLz!!! YoU cAn'T dO aNy BeTtEr!!!!!

I mean, I can't do much worse either, right?

I could have told you Bill Belichick was a bad hire, and I did when it came up. I could have told you Matt Rhule was a bad hire, and I did. I could have told you that XL was a bad pick, and I did. Etc, etc.

It's the idea that far too many fans CAN come up with better and more reasonable solutions that infuriates us.

So glad they didn't draft Mason Graham. And they would have if he'd fallen to us - over TMac too. That kid just ain't a top 10 pick. He'll be ok by year 3, but he'll never be a Derrick Brown.

Yeah, he just doesn't look to have the physical makeup of a dominant NFL DL. How is that other Michigan DT looking? Because honestly when I went to go look at Graham it was the other guy who kept jumping out to me. I think Graham benefitted greatly from playing beside another legit high level NFL prospect and being able to routinely go up against single team blocks in college (a rarity for a top 10 NFL pick prospect) really helped him shine.

What's gonna be worse for UNC is their weak schedule will get them a bowl bid -- enough cause for Jordon and less-powerful athletic department leadership to consider the hire a win. Or, at least position it as one.

Aaaahhh... Bowls??!!! Don't talk about... bowls?! You kidding me??? BOWLS??!! I just hope we can win a game... another game.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
