Everybody calm down about the Coaching decision/search

According to former Packers VP, we are not at any disadvantage.

"...former Green Bay Packers vice president Andrew Brandt said the Panthers are not behind on the coaching-hire time line if they make a switch.

“In terms of taking their time, it’s hard for me to believe that waiting a few days is going to put anyone at a disadvantage,” said Brandt, now a sports business analyst for ESPN. “You don’t need a coach until sometime in the spring when you actually have players to coach. But I know everyone wants to jump in and go after the candidates they think are the best.”

This should be stickied.

That's not entirely true though

Draft time in April, at-least be in here by March to evaluate what we already have and what we need

While that is true the urgency is who is available. You don't need a coach but you do need to be looking for a coach while they're available.

It's not time to freak out right now but we also dont have until the draft to make the decision.

I agree with him in principle. We don't NEED a coach right this minute. However procrastinating on acquiring a GM could be a detriment to scouting draft picks and available free agents and restructuring our cap situation.

With that said I'm still not worried about any of the above. The Panthers will be steadfast in their approach and will hire the man(men) they see fit.

It's just painful for fans to sit idly by and wait for that proverbial shoe to drop.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
