I want an offensive minded HC. I don't want a former LB who loads up on 1st round LBs and pays them ungodly amounts of money. LBs don't impact the game enough to earn the money we pay. I don't like the way our team is constructed. I want an emphasis on the o-line, QB, and weapons all over the field. A true #1 dominant WR streaking down the field and breaking the top off the defense and winning 50/50 fight for it jump balls.

I don't think Ron is a bad HC. His record informs us of what he's capable of achieving. He builds a defense that prevents us from being a bottom feeding team, so we know we'll get close to 8-8, and then anything the offense can do is gravy. We don't have a #1 WR and we desperately need one. We don't have a decent center, his pass blocking is high school level. We don't know how things will pan out at OT. Our TE might as well be as old as Thor. Ron has constructed a middle of the road team that relies on defense and running the ball to stay in the middle of the pack. We're not great, we're not terrible, we're 8-8, or 7-9, useless. We had that under Fox. We have it under Ron. I'd rather go 0-16 for 3 seasons and load up on draft picks. We could keep going 8-8ish under Ron until he retires.

I think Marty 2.0 has done a good job, but the team is built on Ron's defensive blueprint. I'm sick of it. Marty is drafting fine. The FAs are fine. It's not like when Gettleman shiit the bad with bad picks and the FA who shall not be named. Marty is miles better, but Ron's old school defensive mentality keeps us in the middle of the pack. I'm sick of middle of the pack.

It doesn't help that the QB Ron thought he would retire with has physically fallen apart. We've lost our franchise QB. That hurts, and we'll have to rebuild, but Ron is still on the hook for the outcome of this season imo. We don't make the playoffs and he's out imo, and I want him out because I'm sick of 8-8. We need an offensive genius. Put the ball in the air with a new coach. If Kyle can't do it, then let him tank trying and use the high draft pick to get the QB you want. Ron can be our DC, or move on to greener pastures.

Cam will have trade value, but it remains to be seen if he will ever be able to, or want to, play football again. Just running around making football moves could re-injure his foot, or injure his other foot. Just throwing a football could re-injure his shoulder. He's taken a lot of blows to the head, and he knows he won't have a great o-line if he stays here, just look at our center. Murder. We're in a terrible situation as Panthers fans. We could be looking at several more losing seasons before we have a top quality QB assuming Kyle is a stop gap. Btw is Cam still making youtube vlogs?

Keep: Hurney 2.0, I think he has done a great job this time around 

Maybe: It wouldn't feel right to not see Cam suit up in a Panthers jersey. I think he still has a few more prime years left and I'm honestly not ready to see him go yet.

Get rid of: RON should have been let go yeaaaaars ago. He retained his job by riding the coattails of Cam and in turn and put Cam in this predicament by running him into the ground. We made some great runs in spite of Ron, not because of him.

I honestly think Cam will be retired by the end of next season. I didn't want to type that. Just a hunch. If he regains his health he's the face of this franchise and people will come to BOA just to seen his massive body out there running and jumping and chucking bombs. I just don't his body will let him do it anymore, and he won't go out there and fake it. He'll retire.

Cam can't save this team with that Oline and won't last a season without getting killed. Mediocre to lousy is not a good place for any team to be in for eternity.

They need a big time face lift in many positions.

Cam: All depends on how he recovers.

Ron: Bye and not soon enough for me. 

Hurney: Hasn't done poorly the second time around it appears, but I have issues with not shutting Cam down twice when Ron wouldn't when it was obvious Cam was seriously injured. Hard for me to trust you with the future of the team when it doesn't appear you're willing to do what is necessary with your franchise QB to preserve his future.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
