I do disagree, although not firing a coach that has not managed to have a winning season in 3 years because he had some close loses is sort of on-brand for Panthers fans in some ways. I guess it's good then that we don't make the decision. Regard the Saints..what if we split, but, both Atlanta games go badly? What if it demonstrates that there is no secret sauce with Young versus Atlanta, there isn't a Young cheat code? In other words, does not maintaining a dominance of the Falcons matter then, as much or more than not being swept by the Saints again?

I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

The loss of Luke and Cam, essentially at the same time, absolutely destroyed this franchise.

He argued over several posts 1 day about Young's imminent greatness. I had enough and blocked him. Didn't think anymore about it, but I can believe he went a little bit off about all things Bryce Young.

Like everyone, there is a little tingle about OTAs, and minicamps. I don't take much stock in what happens though. We would be in a real bad situation if they were fuging up in the very limited action of OTAs. But it is a good milestone on the season timeline. I appreciate those putting up the videos and etc.

No, that's kind of what I was saying. Every generation has these things attached to them, and they are all similar for each generation, and come at similar times in their era. However, it is always presented as being unique and exclusive to that particular generation. How many young generations get labeled as lazy, aloof, no thought of the future? How many older generations are called difficult, intolerant, get-off-my-lawn types. It all comes around in a big circle of poo.

Don't forget warm and flat. Like being left open in the sun on a mid-July day.

Treasure that enthusiasm. I suspect it will be short-lived.

There were a couple of times they let so-and-so talk it out like it was who wants to be a millionaire, and then a couple of times where it was a quick buzzer. Maybe it was edited down a bit.

You probably have noticed, but it's the same criticisms and flaws, just renewed for each alphabet soup generation. I'm Gen X, nothing like Baby Boomers. Those fugers hung keys around our necks, forced us to be the tech support for the house, program the vcr, operate the microwave, and then left us alone to survive and if pedo creeps got you, then too bad, you should have ran faster. Oh and the vcr time is still blinking. Now, the stupid generations of millennials and Y think we are cranky, crusty old Boomers.

3 of the 4 NFC South teams finished with same 8-9 record,and the Saints finished with 6 wins, 2 of those came from sweeping us. It was the very definition of a flukey finish. Got to think the narrative would be drastically different if we didn't statistically eek out that division championship.

I've blocked more than a couple of people here that have tried to engage in certain political discussions and have expressed certain political views that are not shared by myself. There is no need for that in an NFL-centric board and at best it comes across as trolling.

During the Bucs defense-dominant 1st Superbowl era, the defense, with future HOFers at every level, said, "give us 17 and we will do the rest." We do not have future HOFers at every level, and I am not convinved we can count on our offense to score 17 a game. Might be more around 13, or 10 just to be safe. They will be better. Consistent game-winning, team-carrying, unit, maybe not. But, defense travels, and doesn't freeze up in the cold.

He did some curious things but was mostly ok. It might have been the pills when they traded for Trent Richardson.

Tampa does have a bit of a history with hiring minority coaches. I could see Atlanta also being interested, but I don't think the timing would be suitable. There has been a little talk about the window now being closed in Detroit, but I would be surprised if Campbell is out if they have a bad year. As a real dark horse, with all the rumors of internal strife, the Eagles maybe. Stays in PA, contender team, would have to be a disaster to not continue his winning season streak.

I think the only owners that Tepper outpaces, and it is very, very close, is Woody Johnson, Mike Brown and Jimmy Haslam. He is just behind Stephen Ross, who has actually done damage to his own team with tampering penalties, but has had slightly more success on the field.

I think I am more pointing out the ridiculousness of the story, which is probably an attempt to make a woman running the team in a male-dominated sport a little more legitimate. No one in 3rd grade was having those conversations. A better establishment of being a serious and legitimate NFL owner is perhaps not making reckless trades, rather than concocting stories about how precocious and natural your business acumen and strong leadership skillset has been since elementary school.

Personally, not being a girl in the 3rd grade, or at any time, I never knew that they were discussing NFL front offices and effective franchise ownership while in the school bathroom, but obviously this story tells it differently. As terrible as Tepper is, it seems there could always be worse. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48818826/indianapolis-colts-owner-carlie-irsay-gordon-learned-key-lesson-3rd-grade

Yeah, I just don't know how it can be justified to keep the status quo of Canales and/or Young on a 7-10 mark, or worse. I get that Canales never got to select his guy, but he knew that coming in too. We've seen a couple examples recently of coaches getting that 1 last shot with a newly drafted QB, and they've been sent packing anyway and then the talk is how it's a lost season for the rookie's development.

Would be a potentially good spot. I sort of think if he does return to coaching it would be in the NFC. There's a trend of avoiding the awkward showdowns and return visits when you really start to look at many of those next stops.

Tomlin might be done. IDK. He's won a Superbowl. He knows what it takes and that he was in an exceptionally supportive and patient environmont, and that is not the norm. You never know really how the competitive fire is going to burn in someone like that, and everyone has a price I guess, but I would not be at all shocked if ends up more following the career path of former Steelers coach Cowher and never going back to the sideline.

The incentive is always they could be the 1 that is able to extract whatever potential they initially saw in the prospect, while getting that oppurtunity at a massively steep discount. It usually doesn't work out, but teams can't resist the fool's gold allure of it all.

Not sure about how the salary cap would handle that, but we are probably on the hook for whatever money he would have coming anyway.
