Frankly, I think we might be in a Peyton Manning-like situation here defensively. Luke Keuchly should be able to cover-up for a sub-par defensive coordinator for most of his career.  So while I'd like for McDermott to stay, I don't think we'll see a big drop-off in production if he goes (unless of course we lose the Kraken too).

Leslie Frazier anyone?

 

^I can see this happening if McD decides to pursue on of the numerous HC vacancies after the season. McD doesn't strike me as HC material - a very good DC with the potential to be great, but I'm not sure he's quite ready yet. That's JMO which doesn't mean much. We could do worse than Leslie Frazier, as he's another coach that is better as a DC. Let's not forget that Steve Wilkes, current DB, has also been mentioned as a DC in waiting, and has a great working relationship with Rivera. If that happens, I could see Frazier coming in as a DB coach, if he's willing to take a position job.

 

On the offensive side, I would like to see us bring in Norv Turner (if he decides to leave the mess in Cleveland) as a consultant and possible OC in waiting. I know Shula needs the players (especially on the OL and WR) to make his system work, but his play calling is too conservative for a QB with Newton's talents and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Again, this is JMO.

I would be happy if he's gone. Hes a good defensive coach, but I know for damn sure Rivera has ALOT to do with our defense.

Wilks will get promoted to DC, the fella that Rivera wanted in the first place but was stuck in SD. I believe it would be an upgrade. The dude is a secondary genius.

On another note, Chud didnt work out just because hes an asshole, but its time to build up that coaching tree that stems from Rivera. I want people 30 years from now talking about the Rivera coaching tree and how great it was.

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
