CHARLOTTE - When defensive quality control coach Sam Mills III began to work on the Panthers' new defensive playbook, he was immediately struck by the smorgasbord of philosophies coming together - quite literally - on the same page.

"You have Coach (Ron) Rivera from San Diego, then Coach (Sean) McDermott and Philadelphia. We still have Ron Meeks and the Indy system, plus the Bears system with Eric Washington, and Warren Belin with college experience," Mills pointed out. "It's very exciting when you have so many minds coming together in the room.

"It's kind of like a gumbo."

And Mills, as one of two returning coaches on the staff along with Meeks, is the "gum" in the gumbo.

"Between myself and Coach Meeks, we have a lot of knowledge of what has gone on here," Mills said. "It's a good blend of new and old. I like the new guys because they have fresh eyes. Maybe we might be down on a guy, but with the new guys, it starts from scratch."

rest of the article has to do with him being sam mills son and his journey here. it's a pretty good read, i suppose, but the smörgåsbord of new ideas and philosophies should make for an exciting defense. i can't wait to see it. i know rivera and mcdermott both kind of come from the old jim johnson school of defense, but they both have their own spin on things. it will be at least interesting to see how it shapes up.

what exactly is SM3 job?

I feel like he hangs around due to JR, but he's quality control coach. Teams say they never look ahead to the next week, but the reason they don't is the quality control coach does it. I think he does other stuff like run the scout team. He tries to track a players progress, makes sure they aren't treading water, always geting better.

I know we still have to see how this coaching staff looks after a few years, but I think the FO did a bang up job hiring Rivera..

I also reserve the right to change this opinion without further notice.

Look for Carolina to finish with the league's #1 defense if we can stay healthy! Also look for us to sign talent out of Chicago and SD... He has history with players on both teams. Our defense will be SICK for years to come with this coaching staff. To think that the offense even has a chance to be as good as the D with the weapons we have quite frankly makes my dick hard!

I forgot we even signed Dermott(sp) from Philly...We got a talented bunch of coachs...Meeks was doing a EXCELLENT job as the DC last year and I can only have HIGH HIGH HIGH hopes for this new defense with all these Defensive geniuses on the squad now...

i think his title is defensive quality control....i think thats like a coach in training
Yes and more like DC in training.

I feel like he hangs around due to JR, but he's quality control coach. Teams say they never look ahead to the next week, but the reason they don't is the quality control coach does it. I think he does other stuff like run the scout team. He tries to track a players progress, makes sure they aren't treading water, always geting better.

QCs can be a number of things but SM3 job is to scout other teams and break down there film one week ahead for the DC and players. This is not an easy job by any means.

Usually quality control coaches move up to be coordinators, then head Coaches.

Yes but it does not have to be that way. QC is a specific job like QB coach so he could stay put or go on to do many other things.

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
