its comparable to attitudes regarding john fox... he's such a nice guy, such a "player's guy" that it's hard to see past the intense love and loyalty for a really really good guy to see that he's got major flaws.

hopefully this is a sign jerry is thinking with his brain and not his heart. the latter will get you in trouble in the NFL.

People really do forget that JR is a fan of the game just like us. He knows this is not acceptable and has to change. He has put those changes in motion.

the only way we're going to find out for sure is when the new guy comes in and building philosophy changes or stays the same.

i do believe Hurney did handle things on a day to day level, which makes him a big part of the mess we watch every Sunday, but he keeps talking about how it's 100% him which leads me to believe that JR is involving himself in major personnel decisions he'd better off not contributing any say into. JR simply doesn't have the requisite football IQ i think it takes to make personnel decisions.

Although I don't know whether Hurney would have struck the same deal to resign DeAngelo without involvement from Richardson, I can say with absolute certainty that Richardson saw to it that the deal was done. Richardson absolutely loves DeAngelo, his work ethic, his character, his mother, his commitment to breast cancer research. He was determined that DeAngelo finish his career as a Panther.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
