Could we make it so he stays here min. two more years?

The ravens wrote something into the contract of DeCosta to ensure he can't move to other clubs for the duration of the contract. He only signed it because he's pretty much guarenteed Ozzie Newsome's job eventually. I don't think Chud would sign something like that unless we guarenteed him the HC position at the end of Rivera's contract.

What does an asst head coach do? Adminstrivia and a few more meetings across defense and special teams? Just hope it doesn't take away from the offense and cause slippage.

Good for him though.

Basically just a pay raise.

I'm not sure Rivera would take too kindly to having any level of control taken after just one year on the job.

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's clear that "assistant" is the operative term in the title. Chain of command is important. Rivera, as head coach, has to have the last say, and any other coaches working for the team have to be onboard with that. But if it results in a more integrated team concept and cohesive game strategies, and Chud gets the paycheck he clearly deserves, I'm down with it.

Rivera as head coach will get to determine whether Chud gets more power. After he was the one that pushed to hire him and Chud was not the FOs choice for OC to begin with if I remember correctly.

So if Rivera wants to promote him I can't see a problem as long as it doesn't cause problems internally with the rest of the staff. As for a pay raise, with the kind of money the Panthers can generate due to a prolific offense and a return to the playoffs, it will be money well spent.

it should have been in the plans already.

pay the man, give him a better parking spot and a new title on his office door and get back to work.

if it doesn't affect the salary cap (which it doesn't, durrrrp) then it shouldn't be a problem.

signed,

not my money

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to be clear: I'm not "downplaying" the talent around Bryce... I'm qualifying it. There's a big difference between saying, "we finally have building blocks that we're actually developing" and "we've done enough to say this is a finished product, NO EXCUSES!" It's possible to believe that the 2023 situation was bad and to believe that the current state, while improved, is still incomplete. That's not inconsistency; that's nuance. As for the footwork stuff, again, I've seen the same clips as others. The claim that Bryce is hopping to see over the line just isn't one I've seen corroborated by analysts or tape breakdown. "Both feet off of the ground to throw" happens a ton for QBs (ex: Mahomes, Rodgers, Purdy, etc.), especially when improvising. You're right that there were some encouraging flashes from Bryce last season, and it's nice to finally hear that after so much time was spent pretending otherwise. I'm not arguing that Bryce is elite, I'm just asking that we evaluate him using consistent, measurable criteria to determine his status as a top-10 QB... whether it's via 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, turnover-worthy plays, or yes, big-time throws (which, by the way, has been a valid part of QB evaluation across the league for years even if it wasn't used here during Kyle Allen or Teddy Bridgewater's years. For reference: Allen had 20 BTT at a 3.9% rate. Teddy had 17 BTT at 3.3%). Like you, I'm hoping to see a competent, entertaining offense this season. That's a baseline we can all root for, even if we don't have the same baseline for what makes a QB top-10 (which, to be fair, is what this conversation has been about... though I respect the attempt to reframe it).

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
