I'd go balls to the wall building a team properly. Not only focusing on covering for a qb who might not be in the league in 5 years 

Yeah I said this back in September when I still believed Bryce could be the guy. It hasn't aged well, especially the part about Reich and Fitts not being fired lol.

How have they complied with the rooney rule already? 

They don't need to. They had a succession plan built into his contract which was previously communicated to the league, which allows them to bypass the whole coach hiring process.

I understand this line of thinking, but the more you look into anything you spend your money on in this world you can find 500 human rights violations on the way down.

I get there are different levels of separation to it and we should all try to be better, but there's blood on all our hands.

Which is why people say that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Apparently it's unreasonable to expect your #1 pick to not be statistically one of the worst starting QB's in the NFL.

Some of you are so emotionally invested you've lowered standards and that's a personal preference.

Oh Frank get off it with the passive aggressive remarks. Stop being so miserable all the time and enjoy that the Panthers played well today.

Spencer Rattler, although he can probably be drafted later than 33. Any BPA can work there or a trade backwards.

Take off your garnet colored glasses for a second. Rattler has day 3 pick written all over him.

There's a podcast put out by the Panthers called "Cardiac" about their run to the Super Bowl in 2003. There are 10 episodes so it's more like an audio miniseries and the last episode was just released today so I'll be listening to it soon. Figured this was relevant to this thread.

Is that real? Lololol I’ve been saying it since before we drafted him, you don’t take a guy that’s my size as the first overall pick. 

It's not.

Good lord is that the SAME podium? Looks like comparing a short man to Godzilla!

Don't let a photoshop job/manipulative angle get the better of you.

Bryce has nowhere near Cam's measurables obviously, but he can still see over the podium lol.

So I guess my post was fake news/a joke.

$11 is still something else haha

Or it was some sort of sale/discount that I'm not privy to.

Original screenshot looks like stubhub, and this is what I found just now. Not $.45, but still the cheapest I've ever seen.

That whole debate seems like years ago.  This season I tell ya

The fact that last season our coach starting the season was Matt Rhule feels like a Mandela Effect. You're telling me it hasn't been 5 years since he was fired?

We need another team to hire Rhule so he can give us a 2nd, 4th, and 6th for Bryce like he did for Darnold.

Looks like it's Dean Smith.

The Smith Era is set to begin

 

According to sources, Dean Smith is finalizing his move to become the next head coach of Charlotte FC. He will be Charlotte’s third manager in three years.

 

Smith has over a decade of coaching experience. He has coached at the top three levels in England since 2011, from League One with Warsall to the Premier League with Aston Villa, Norwich City, and Leicester City.

Also being reported by the Daily Mail.

A lot of those in the G-SP area have turned to the Falcons the past few years and a lot of those in the Low Country follow Florida teams.

Or they just don't care about the NFL at all and only follow college, which feels like the majority of SCians.

Is everyone here under the impression that Panthers fans in SC are fans purely because they do training camp in SC?

Seems unlikely to me.

Might at well rename the team the North Carolina Panthers. 
 

The Patriots have had their training camp in Foxborough for 21 years now. Should they be the Massachusetts Patriots?

According to sources, Charlotte FC are close to finalizing their next head coach. The team has interviewed two former Premier League coaches: Chelsea legend Frank Lampard and former Aston Villa manager Dean Smith. Both are on Charlotte FC's shortlist.

 

Lampard, the three-time premier league-winning midfielder, was recently in Charlotte for an interview- as well as Smith, two big-name managers who have shown interest in the club.

Per sources, Charlotte FC will make their decision on who their next coach will be in the next two weeks.

FYI: Adam Johns (longtime Bears beat writer) wrote in the Athletic that if the Bears make a change at head coach this offseason, their candidate list "starts and ends" with Jim Harbaugh.

There have been behind the scenes reports that the Chicago job is his top choice. If so, and if Matt Eberflus is fired, this one might be academic.

Not before he interviews with Tepper to gain that sweet, sweet leverage for better contract.

The season after Jake imploded against the Cards in the Playoffs. My hope was dashed when he imploded against the Eagles.

You were never hopeful/hype going into a season when Cam was here?

FSU likely isn’t one of the top 4 best teams.  But you had to put them in.  You simply can’t exclude an undefeated power 5 team for a bunch of 1 loss teams.   That is the committee imploring too much subjectivity….and in a year where the other power 5 conferences weren’t even that great vs prior years. 

I get both sides of the argument. If Travis doesn't go down, FSU is probably in, but I can see a world where the committee doesn't want another 2021 Cincinnati or 2016 Washington situation, where a team got in because by letter of the law, they met the requirements, but then gets blown out because they weren't really one of the best four teams in the country. 

Either way, the committee will either be vindicated or indicted depending on the results of the FSU Georgia game. Georgia wins handily, committee is vindicated. FSU loses closely or wins, committee will hear the noise. 

All of this is moot anyway because of the expansion next year. Even if there is a snub out of the top 12, it won't be nearly as dramatic as a snub out of the top 4.

Yes Harbaugh had brief success in the NFL. He also inherited a solid roster and only coached for what 4-5 years? He wins everywhere he goes so he should be good, but I still prefer the GM/HC balance. 

Yeah I think best case scenario out of a Harbaugh HC stint here would be a reset of the culture, and a return to knowing what it’s like to win before handing it off to a long term HC. Who knows how it’d actually go tho 

Just now, ForJimmy said:

It’s definitely better than what we have, but I don’t like the HC having full control like Rhule. Just fire Fitt, hire a good GM and let him pick your next HC. 

The key difference between Rhule and Harbaugh being that Harbaugh has experience winning in both college and the NFL
