It could imply that the candidate that has been reached out to is Lovie Smith, who is not currently employed in the NFL. I don't think any restrictions would stop us from letting him know that we are interested.

 

I feel like this story has some merit, but it also has to do with making sure Rivera knows there is a fire burning red hot under his ass, and just because he beat a lowly Giants' team doesn't mean that his job is 100% safe.

 

 

 

 

 

could be someone in college.

you don't buy anything positive about DG. period

I am a simple man. You have to prove yourself in order to get assumptions your unknown ways are good.

DG has no resume as a GM and I didn't like some comments he made and ignoring glaring holes....ones that revolve around the QB.

Too many IMO think DG is great despite him not doing that much.

His record overall to date has never shown much faith in this QB/HC... and I didn't want a doomed season. Goes back to JR though....he keeps creating these scenarios

Shaw is never leaving Stanford.

 

Yeah, there was a report that David Shaw said that he wasn't going to leave Stanford any time soon. He said something along the lines of, "Tell me which NFL city is better than Palo Alto, and then explain that to my wife".

Could be, but I feel like the rules of colleges might be similar to the NFL. I'm not sure how it works, though. It seems like it means that we've contacted someone who isn't in the NFL anymore (Smith, Chucky, Cowher). But, yeah, it could be someone in college.

David Shaw PLEASE!

 

From Peter King (MMQB)

 

Me: “You tempted by the NFL?”

 

Shaw: “Nope.”

 

Me: “Ever?”

 

Shaw: “Maybe somewhere way down the road. I said no to all the interviews last year. I got called by a bunch of teams. I love where we’re at right now, I love this team. This team we have, it’s going to be good for a while.”

 

Me: “No guarantees in the NFL. The grass isn’t always greener.”

 

Shaw: “When teams reached out to me last year, I said, ‘Okay, you tell me which NFL city is better than Palo Alto. And then explain that to my wife.’ ‘’

 

 

He signed a long term extension at Stanford less than a year ago and he's made similar string statements every time he's been asked.

 

Yeah, anything can happen, but I seriously doubt he's coming to the NFL.  And if he eventually does, it's highly unlikely it will be with an East Coast team.

once again the comments he made you took out of context.

 

I like his pedigree and that he actually has a plan in place.

 

you didnt like the beason move because of film room study. you find anything and everything to fault instead of looking at the other side of the situation. that is your m.o.

 

you can call it anything else but there are positives and negatives to every situation. you look at the negatives.

Actually it makes perfect sense.

 

These guys are making career decisions.  Who the head coach ia has a pretty big effect on that career.

 

 

 

 

I get that, it will play a factor. But in no way will it be a deal breaker for those players. Either way they are looking at a new coach, (if that was to happen) and the options would be to play with players you know, or go somewhere else for more or less money.

 

Way too many variables...

 

You know there are some head coaches that DO come in and start off great. Its all in the selection of the coach.

From RotoWorld, even though it's a re-hash.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Panthers have "begun laying the groundwork" for a head-coaching search in 2014.

Although Ron Rivera is expected to keep his job through the season -- and is coming off an impressive 38-0 win over the Giants -- he's unlikely to return as Carolina's head coach in 2014. Rivera was not handpicked by first-year GM Dave Gettleman, and the Panthers have already begun doing "background checks" on potential replacements. Rivera is essentially a lame duck in 2013, who'd probably need a legitimate miracle to last into next year.

you think Getty didn't want this leaked?

I think our FO leaked it

I'm saying if we didn't want it leaked....and have spoken with one guy and HE leaked it....that would take him out of consideration bc it would highly piss off our FO. But I think our FO leaked it

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
