Can I Just Say A Word About Ricky Proehl?

[Cape Fear Cat]

Not for nothing, but I'm sitting here watching the Panthers' Sunday morning show, and they're featuring a story on Ricky Proehl. As I watch him working with the receivers, miked up, and a camera following his every move, I am reminded what made him such a great offensive weapon for us when he played. It's also what makes him a gem of a coach for us now, and probably the perfect guy to tutor a bunch of youngsters who are just learning the ropes of the NFL game. I'm very thankful he's still a part of the organization!

Have said it many times since the start of camp, we have the best WR coach in the NFL.

[Chaos]

How is his overall offensive mind?  Does he have what it takes to eventually move up to an OC candidate in the league?

[MCC]

Can he take over for Shula?

Not sure.

 

 

I can tell you the Panthers are very high on the futures of Proehl and Dorsey.

Ricky was one of those guys that helped us get to the Super Bowl. Every great team has those role players that are better than the other team's role players. He is a guy with a great reputation for guys in their 20s. He played in three Super Bowls and our players remember watching him.

 

He was also one of the nicest guys I've ever met at Training Camp. Stephen Davis blew off some kids in 2004 and Ricky ran him down and said "Cmon Stephen, do it for me". Davis was still reluctant but Ricky wouldn't let him go.

I love RP and hope we can hang on to him for awhile....wonder if he has any aspirations for OC or if he just loves being a WR coach.

 

Bet he'd be better than Shula but if he wants to stay and be our WR for a long time I'm very cool with that!

That is one of the most exciting things about being a fan right now.  Not just the on-field potential, the coaching staff potential.  One of those two will be an offensive coordinator in the next 5 years.

Can he design plays?

i'm not disputing this by any means, but with what authority do you say this? having been around other WR coaches on the sidelines or what?

I have no doubt he'd be a good OC. He's the only guy on offense I'd worry of losing to that type opportunity, though Carolina doesn't have to let him interview and he has ties to the organzation and the area.
