Being let go from CBS, to be replaced by Jason LaCanfora from NFL Network.

Why is that of interest here? Well, take a look at his work history.

Casserly was with the Washington Redskins from 1977 till 2000 when he became GM of the Texans. As of 1982, he was named the Redskin's Assistant GM. Guess what GM he was assisting in that role (Hint: He was the mentor to a guy we all know very well).

Marty Hurney joined the Redskins organization in 1988 after having covered the team as a reporter for the eight years prior. He stayed with the organization (PR department) till 1990 when he bolted for San Diego along with Bobby Beathard. That was when Casserly took over the full GM title in Washington.

Obviously, there'd be some level of familiarity between Hurney and Casserly. Are they friends? No idea. Searching the net for articles including the two of them yielded only discussions about Hurney by Casserly in his role as an analyst for CBS. None of those referenced any personal relationship. And if Hurney has ever mentioned Casserly in any other forum, I haven't heard it.

That said, you can expect a guy with as much NFL experience as Casserly might not be too opposed to jumping back in the fray rather than staying on the media side (say, as a consultant or some such).

Could that be with the Panthers? Don't know. No reason I can see at this point to hold a high expectation of it.

Still, given that he and Hurney should be at least somewhat acquainted, I'd say it's worth making a mental note.

I remember Charley Casserly chirping the poo out of Cam Newton.. "This isn't punt pass and kick now, in this league you gotta throw the ball... The thing about this kid is he just doesn't see it" etc... Do you really want this guy as a talent evaluator? Only good thing he did in his career from my knowledge is picking Mario Williams. He can Suck a d. Do not want :)

Someone buy the man a retainer or something for his overbite also.

We've already got a Director of College Scouting that, by most accounts, we're pretty happy with. Doubt there'd be changes there.

There is also a pro scouting department, of course. As well as general organizational stuff, and of course "consulting".

Mind you, I'm not set to predict anything. To me, it's just one of those "hmmm, that's interesting" type of things.

So, he was fired from NFL Network?

CBS. Jason LaCanfora is moving over from NFL Network to replace him (not fired, contract's up).

Oh, I was hoping he was done with NFL Network. I can't stand this dude on there.

i thought casserly was leaving nfln... ? i saw him thank everyone saying he enjoyed his time there the other day.

anyway, he annoys the poo out of me. his voice is just unbearable. no comment on him joining the organization. though houston has certainly improved without him.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
