To be fair, Chip Kelly is stellar at evaluating talent.

It isn't hard to evaluate talent when all you look for is speed, dude is like the Al Davis of College scouting. You can't do that in the NFL, evaluating NFL talent and College talent is COMPLETELY different.

Code for I want to stay in college....

Exactly. Out of all the options out there Jags, Browns, and Eagles. We're the most attractive, we have great young players in Luke Kuechly and Cam. Also two very good pass-rushers in Hardy, and Johnson.

Him wanting full control of player decision etc do not have to mean he wants to be a GM/HC. But if it would, our last GM was a fuging reporter....

For the first time in like forever we took a chance with Newton.... Lets take another. Fug all the you cant to that and you cant do this in the NFL and this is not college bla bla bla... Lets go our own way and let other teams look at us and say hey, we want to do it the Panthers way.

For me its now a Rivera vs Kelly thing. Those are the two I would think would be the best for Newton.

Is he asking to be GM and head coach? Or just an active voice in the talent that's drafted and not dealing with whatever the GM thinks is best for the team.

Sign him to a short term contract and say...go for it. If it doesn't work out...move on. He brings an energy to the coaching position which is what we all have been craving for so long. When we as fans show more emotional attachment to the team than the coach...something's wrong. You look at a Tomlin, Belichek, Harbaughs...they are active engaged coaches in every aspect of the team they coach. I like that. Cowher...Kelly...whatever. Give me someone that players WANT to play for and not some corporatist BS type that's done the time and deserves a shot.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
