If that is Cam's fatal flaw then we definitely need a great offensive mind to maximize Cam's athleticism and cannon arm. We've invested in Cam so we can't say fug it and go Tampa Bay on him. I, myself, don't think so because we've seen Cam play at a high level late in games. I think Newton's issue is consistency and discipline.

 

I have no problem with an offensive minded coach, but I'd also be fince with a DC who brought a good OC with him.

Knowing that G-Man and Richardson are old school, I don't know. I prefer an offensive genius to be our next HC. I'm not saying a DC can't lead us to victory but I'm getting feeling that we're going to hire Rivera 2.0

 

I absolutely want an offensive genius on staff.

 

It just doesn't absolutely have to be the head coach.

True but look at what Whisenhunt and McCoy have done for Rivers together.

 

I'm always a little skeptical of Steeler guys outside the Steeler system.  Granted, Whisenhunt looked good in Arizona when he had Kurt Warner.  Post Warner, not so much.

 

I wouldn't scream if we hired Whisenhunt, but he's not my first choice.

I love Whisenhunt. He's so underappreciated. People say that without Warner, Ken was a mediocre head coach but doesn't that go for 90% of coaches who have a franchise QB? Look at all the signal callers the front office brought in for Arizona. They were horrific. Granted, part of the problem was the o-line but they trouble getting the ball to their playmakers too. Fans also forget that Whisenhunt was the architect behind that front seven that just crushed our o-line for 7 sacks.

We don't lack talent. We lack a coaching staff. Hell, we could hire Gruden tomorrow, and this team could be 5x better by November. Whisenhunt should no issue establishing The Panthers as a playoff contender under a single season.

 

Shanahan never accomplished anything without Elway either.

 

Can't agree on Gruden.  He took a Super Bowl winning team and ran them into mediocrity for the remainder of his time there.  he was fired because players hated his guts and told the owners they'd rather retire than play for him without Monte Kiffin in place.  add in that he kept a continuous QB carousel going after Brad Johnson and never developed any of his young prospects.

The problem with that is they will always be looking for a coaching job. I really don't care if its offense or defense minded coach so long as he has experience.

Gruden comes with his flaws but he's no slouch when identifying a QB's shortcomings and what they need to improve on. Typically, he's right on the money (moreso than Jaws) but I wouldn't want him as a long-term answer either.

 

He may be good at identifying them, but his coaching record shows he's lousy at fixing them.

 

The closest he came to developing a young QB was The Spleen.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
