Panthers head coach Ron Rivera has had to prepare a plan in case Chudzinski is rewarded with a promotion, and it doesn't include major changes to scheme or personnel, he said. "No matter what happens, we still have to go forward and we'll still have the same players and pretty much the same scheme, so we'll see how things unfold," Rivera told PFW.

God no, please don't promote Shula.

From Shula's bio on panthers.com:

In addition to Shula's work as a quarterbacks coach, he presided over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense as offensive coordinator for four seasons from 1996-99. The Buccaneers reached the playoffs in two of Shula's four years, advancing to the NFC Championship in 1999. Shula helped quarterback Trent Dilfer earn Pro Bowl honors in 1997 when he set then-team records for touchdowns and most consecutive pass attempts without an interception.

Doesn't sound all bad..

From the same article

WR Steve Smith decided he wanted to stay with the Panthers last offseason after considering other options, and he went on to have his best season since 2008, making the Pro Bowl for the first time since that season. To say he was reenergized by the arrival of QB Cam Newton would be inaccurate, though. Smith told PFW. "There are passes that Cam threw me that I could have went and got (during the 2010 season), but they just weren't thrown to me," he said. "How do you recharge a battery when it's never been dead? You're going to update my software and I already have the iPhone 4S? What are you reenergizing? (Newton) isn't making me run. What makes me run is my fans, my three kids, my wife. … Cam has been a missing piece that we've needed, but he hasn't reenergized any of these batteries that were already juiced up."

Love Smith

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
