Mr. Scot

If the Panthers staff winds up liking Jones or Trask, things could be a lot of fun here come Draft Day.

Latest from Schefter...

When we were staffing last year, he was a guy I hoped we'd look at for the OL coach spot, so I'm good with it.

Just for reference, this was that same site's list for who would be the next Panthers head coach a year ago. Greg Roman +300 Jason Garrett +550 Robert Saleh +700 Dan Quinn +750 Jim Harbaugh +750 Josh McDaniels +800 David Shaw +900 Mike McCarthy +1200 Urban Meyer +1200 Jay Gruden +1400 Doug Marrone +1600 Mike LaFleur +1600 Marvin Lewis +1800 Pat Shurmur +1800 Doug Pederson +2000 Bill Cowher +2500 Oddsmakers do pretty well at picking point spreads. When it comes to personnel moves, not so much.

Washington fans are starting to feel the same way.

Starting to think our GM search made an impression on the Eagles. They're up to nine candidates for their head coaching job, the latest being Saints DC Dennis Allen.

Also true that there wasn't a GM inbetween Jones and Johnson.

Remember Burns was almost Little. Have mercy, what a disaster that would have been.

As I recall, the downfall started when Jones got drunk and started saying stuff like the roster was so talented he could win with Barry Switzer. And while technically he did, I don't really think anybody would say he came out on the winning end of that argument in the long term.

As long as we don't have Jerry Jones 2.0, I'm fine with that comparison.

Washington fan perspective... I'm pretty sure most of us have wished Rivera the best. We may have hated his coaching but we all thought he was a good guy.

From what we've heard, Friday.

I can see this off season isn't gonna be dull...

Mike Garafolo reporting he's still in the concussion protocol.

I don't know whether he'll play or not. Gun to my head, I'd probably say no. The question of whether he should is easier to me.

Damn...

That was scary as hell.

Your ears burning?

Full disclosure: I'm a little biased on this front. I know it was important enough for the Patriots that one year after Dante Scarnecchia retired the first time, they we're so dissatisfied with their line that they lured him back. Granted, there are guys you probably can't fix (Little, probably) but on the flipside, you see guys like Daryl Williams and Mike Remmers move on from here to look better in their new destinations. So yeah, I think it's important. And I also think this is a good hire.

How he got here...

I have a feeling they would.

Yeah, but even that coach did pretty well when he was only a position coach. It was when he became a coordinator that things went sideways.

Uuummm...no.
