I know! That's why he interviewed with the Falcons before they went with Morris. He would be gone from UNC as soon as that phone rang. 

UNC is fed up with Belichick and would love for him to go back to the NFL where he woul fit much better.

100%  Even though Pierce is playing pretty well you simply dont give up that level of draft capital.

Eh, not totally true

The 2026 draft class as a whole was looking on the weaker side, combine that with the Falcons expecting to have a legit playoff team this year, and it did kind of make sense at the time.  They thought they were getting a great player for what they expected to be a pick in the 20's in a weak draft.

Not saying I'd have done it either, just that I do get their thinking on it that way.

Sounds like the logic of the Bryce trade.   Never get ahead of your skis.  If a gm thought penix and 2 rookie pass rushers were going to get you to the playoffs then you deserve to lose your job.   You literally handed over a top 10 maybe top 5 pick for peanuts

I mean, Penix didn't look terrible last year in his limited snaps.  And they were an 8-9 team that lost nobody of note and added a few other solid pieces before they made that trade.

I don't think it's unreasonable for them to have expected to improve this season.  There is no way they expected Penix to regress and for their season to implode as it has.

Also don't think it's anywhere near the logic of the Bryce trade, we were nowhere near as the year before that as the Falcons were last year.  We didn't have any offensive weapons close to Bijan or London.  And they only traded one future first to take a pass rusher in the 1st, not trading away the farm to bet on a prospect the team at #1 could have used but decided to trade it instead.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
