Panthers "narrowing the field"

100%. I thought that was the general plan that we envisioned.

Draft young prospect to sit the year. Learn on the job, with minimal expectations of playing, build confidence in system.

2022 - Start youngster, move on from Teddy.

a lot didn't get the memo, they are itching to replace Teddy sooner than later.

I don’t like hearing tep and Rhule aren’t on the same page. Didn’t Tepper hire him bc he is a builder? If that’s the case, Tepper should let Rhule build how he wants to build so they are on the same page. Let guys who you hire do the work, that’s why you pay them.

Yeah, I trust his football knowledge a lot more than Tepper. I am okay with having some outside the box guys in the organization but I don't know if I want them making the decisions. That is kind of how we ended up with guys like Gaulden, Greg Little, etc. Also how the Raiders ended up with every underwear Olympics winner for years in a row. 

Yep, when it comes to picking the next GM, Tepper would do well to defer to the guy he recently gave a 7 year contract to.  The GM and HC need to be simpatico for the Panthers to succeed going forward.

What makes more financial sense with Teddy?

- Keeping him as the starter/mentor to Lance/Fields/Wilson and then cutting after '21 season

- Cutting him prior to '21 season

My biggest concern is dead money that we have accumulated during the Hurney days that lingered over us like a circling vulture year in and year out. Would letting Teddy use his character/attitude/knowledge as a mentor be worth one more year to save the long-term cap ramifications?

I ask as not delving any deeper as to how the hit is spread out over the next two seasons if he is a post 6/1 cut vs. post 2021 season.

His cap hit is 23M next season, if we cut him and designate him a June 1 cut, he would count 10M against the cap in 21 and 22.

Unless Spotrac is misleading me, or I'm not paying enough attention.

He reminded people of Sean McVay.

‘I’ve seen Sean McVay.  Brady is no Mcvay ‘ stealing from a Vp debate long ago

what I do not  like is Brady coaching in the  bowl game with the Panthers if he is leaving  for the Falcons and being a couple slots above us in the draft 

I just do not understand why there wasn’t a non compete for division teams in that knucklehead’s contract  

it feels a bit Trojan horse like...the coordinator they just had to have who insisted on Bridgewater leaving after a year to go to the division rival 

only the panthers could obtain such abject failure and now get to start over offensively

Would be surprised if Peters isn’t hired

[Mr. Scot]

Three have made it to the second round so far...

Do they really think these guys are going to sot around and wait for a decision?

I know all about due diligence but this approaching arrogance.

Pretty sure we're the only team that's interviewed these three.

If I recall correctly, the only remaining candidate who has any other pursuers is Jeff Ireland.

Fontenot getting a second interview with the Falcons. Relevant to Joe Brady's status.

I would take Mariota over Teddy.... any day lol

Don’t give the team rep that reads these forums any ideas. 

[Mr. Scot]

Ossenfort has a Patriots background, something that's known to be attractive to David Tepper.

General FYI: All three candidates so far named as moving on to the second round are in the same general age range as head coach Matt Rhule (40s)
