Todd Haley and Raheem Morris...

...have both made themselves into lightning rods.

If their respective teams have trouble, both are going to face a fair amount of questioning over their decisions to fire their OCs right before the season.

For my part though, I don't find the situations equivalent.

Morris has explained that he believes Jeff Jagodzinski essentially just wasn't ready for the OC position. Longtime Panther fans should be able to relate to that, as it mirrors the situation we once had with Bill Musgrave.

Haley on the other hand? From what I've read, he just sounds like a guy whose ego won't allow him to trust anyone else to do the job he used to do.

Rightly speaking, I think Haley should be judged a little more harshly here. Morris is trying to make the best of a bad situation. Yes, he's partly responsible in that he hired Jagodzinski, but given his resume it was a reasonable hire (same deal as with Musgrave).

But Haley? He seems to be digging his own hole.

Obviously, both guys get a mulligan for at least this season. But each has to have made positive changes within 3 seasons. That's how it goes these days in the NFL, and sometimes the fuse is even shorter.

Regardless, I think the timing is garbage. If there is a difference of opinion between the coordinator and HC as far as philosophy, then that needs to get hashed out before week 3 of the preseason! Yes, you can't truly understand a "philosophy" until you've seen it on the field, live, against another team. So, I can envision why these coaches made the decisions- they knew their coordinator's philosophy did not jibe with their own and decided to do it sooner, rather than later. In KC's case, at least, I think this will work out for the better. I think that Haley, coming off of being an OC, will be best suited for just taking the reins of the offense and moving on. I think that this might actually turn out to be a great move... say, by week 7

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      By oceans_1 · Posted

      I swear there are like 6 people on this godforsaken website that must be paid just to piss and moan all day in these stupid ass threads, for years on end, about fugging everything. Always something to whine about. If y'all aren't getting paid to professionally bitch about this team at every opportunity you need to reevaluate your lives because that ish is pathetic for grown ass men to be doing.  There are at least 50 other voices of reason in here. They're all smarter than you kneejerking perpetual contrarians. It's a fine contract. Our previous dipstick GM ran this team like some college kid that read a few Investopedia articles on technical trading and started throwing daddy's money at every positive indicator he saw - look what happened when Fitt drafted by RAS because he couldn't identify talent if it was footballs deep in his wife in the war room. It's a football team and this preoccupation with analytics, in this instance the positional value of RBs, is like 30% of the equation. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it requires a lot of context and, going back to the trading analogy, an understanding of the fundamentals. This is a sad, crappy organization that needs some winning attitudes in the locker room and on the field. $15 mil guaranteed over two years is nothing compared to the intangible value he brings, and the message the contract sends, not to mention his stellar work ethic and consistent improvement.

      It boils down to either you believe in Chuba or you don't. For myself I 100% believe in him that he's a hard worker and a leader we want in the locker room. The issue is this investment paired with all the money we have tied up in the oline now (150 million in a single offseason) and Center is still a position of need going forward. Then there is the matter of the defense. Other than Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn and maybe Wallace who has promise it's basically a wasteland. That cannot be understated. Dan Morgan is walking a tightrope here. Unequivocally he cannot play games with this QB room next season. Leave no stone unturned creating a real competition and actually have a real fallback plan.

      Bryce is still the future

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      To end all questions, I think we should start him rest of season as long as he does not hinder the young WR's and TE's development. In other words as long as he does not go back to super awful possibly worst QB ever plays scared and afraid Bruce that we saw most of his career so far then let him keep playing this season and make a decision on what to do with him in the off season. If he grows great , if he stays the exact same as he is now with no more development then ship him out. If he goes back to classic Bryce then sit him again and at seasons end ship him out. If by some snow balls chance in hell he actually develops and looks good by seasons end then hang onto him. Simple as that really. He controls his own destiny on what happens to his career here is my opinion.
