McDermott will be gone


Recommended Posts

I would almost bet the bank that McDermott is gone.   This is a passing league and McDermott is one of the better minds when it comes to defending those teams. 

 

His schemes are good and he makes great calls when they are needed most.  

 

His resume will show that he can build a defense that went from 28th to #1 in 3 seasons.   Pretty impressive.  If he gets and offensive coordinator that knows how to put points up.  He is going to win a lot of games.

 

I will not be surprised if we lose him, hope we don't but not counting on him being here next season.

Yes, because Hardy, Johnson, Edwards, Lotulelei, Short, Davis, and Kuechly have nothing to do with that.

 

Of course they have something to do with it.  Don't you think that he had input on getting some of this talent in?  He has used the tools made available to him.  But I have said since we got McDermott that once he has the players that fit his scheme he was going to be good. 

 

Do you think he won't assemble players that will fit his style.   The point is;  he built (with help from GM) a defense that #1.  Teams are going to see that.  They are going to believe he can build a team (offensively and defensively) based on what he did here.

If you want to talk about building a D, yea that's all Rivera. Scheming and planning, mostly Rivera with some McDermott input. On gameday, McDermott mostly choosing the playcalls with Rivera getting the final say. At least that's how I picture it. Rivera's defenses are always excellent no matter where he goes. Thus this logic. Rivera is a defensive minded HC. Thus this is Rivera's D.

I'd lose it if he took a job while the season was still on. Just what we need- him preparing his new team for next season while trying to close out a season here.

"Yeah Ron, I'll have some free time later, so I may swing down by the team office and start working up a gameplan."

Alright so the quotes hyperbole, but still.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
