With the number of GM's fired after the season, I would not expect quick decisions.

The guys that are sought after are very likely to want to leverage teams against each other and look at all of their options.

Unless you overpay, don't expect quick announcements.

Ugh lol maybe I'm just being optimistic. I want to know something lol

You're not being optimistic, you're being unrealistic.

Even if they know exactly who they want to be the GM it will take some time at least to do interviews and agree to a contract (assuming that person accepts the position - we can't just name someone GM without their consent).

Everyone hoping for a decision on Rivera before the GM is in place is in for a serious disappointment. It is extremely unlikely that we will hear a decision on the coaching staff before the GM is here and has had a chance to review Accorsi's recommendations with Richardson / perform their own abbreviated review.

We also have to remember that this organization is not media friendly. Teams around the league leak their candidates to the media or will openly talk about / hit at who they want (see: Cleveland). This one will go to great lengths to ensure the media doesn't have a damn clue what's going on. If you want a barometer watch Tom Sorensen. He seems to be the only one who ever gets any real info (he broke the story that Fox would not be retained before his last season even started).

I personally don't expect to hear anything on the GM until Friday and coaching decisions, at the earliest, Monday. If they are leaning towards keeping the existing coaching staff it could take even longer.

If you stood back a thought about it for a second you'd realize that no matter what the decisions in BoA were regarding our future, that 70-80% of the posters here are going to do nothing but piss and moan. I dont know why you are in such a hurry to bring that much discord and woe on us.

Everyone outside of us on this board says the same thing: That Richardson won't open his checkbook to really pay a big time coach. I didn't know that was the perception outside of Carolina until I started reading a lot around the net. That's why no one thinks we are a player for Kelly and why a lot of people think we'll hang onto Ron

      Evero and the pass rush

      By frankw · Posted

      Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
