The Panthers have a lot of leaks coming from our staff

I wanted to start a thread to discuss this topic and get everyone’s opinions on the matter. While reading through the 500 pages about Watson, a comment from @Verge made me pause and reflect on just how many leaks we have from our front office. It seems like every intention has been coming out recently, from Anderson to the Patriots, to exactly what we want in a trade for CMC, to our interests in Watson and what we will give up etc. 

It seems like we never really had things like this come out under Rivera and I wonder if it is caused by the uncertainty with Rhule and his staff not being loyal (which caused many to take the same role with other teams at the beginning of the off-season). What is causing so many leaks for us? It seems to be even more evidence to me the Rhule is in over his head and does not have a firm hold on his staff like other coaches in the NFL. He has also avoided interviews recently which is even more odd.

Nah, Rivera was just as leaky. Its a front office thing, probably started with Hurney. It was revealed weeks before the draft that the Panthers were desperate for Brian Burns and he was the clear #1 on their board, and that was still the old regime

 

Edit: Same with Little in that draft, Panthers were taking him if Burns wasn't there, and then after round 1 it was leaked that the Panthers were trying to trade up for Little

Some amateur front office people and coaching staff that treat the NFL like college.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. You made a great point about Russell Wilson and his trade…the same can be said about Dallas and Cooper, Wentz etc. We seem to know ever detail about deals we are interested in and every conversation we have with other teams about moves that may or not be even a realistic option.

Poo'd just because of "Junkie Rhule" pic that ruined my morning.

Good post tho. I say that we leak intentionally. we didn't leak henderson trade or gilly trade, or darnold trade really.

I will say I didn't hear anything about the Henderson one. Darnold and Gilly on the other hand..

Of course, we are considered the front runners for Watson because we are leaking and the press is reporting it--but am I hoping that we do not sign Watson--yes--but there is this:  What will this front office do if we do not get Watson?  They will go after the next Darnold.

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.

      Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him.

      Can something be done about this referee bias against the Panthers?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      The merchandise sales are such an infinitesimally small portion of NFL revenue as to be completely laughable. The NFL is as prone to wanting big market teams or traditional powers to succeed as any other major professional sport in the country. I don't really think there is a lot of evidence of "team bias" as much as there is ample evidence of "star player bias." The NFL has suffered from that for decades. It's also not as prevalent as it is in the NBA, which is just transparently tilted towards the star players. Overall, this season the refs have stood out more for their general incompetence rather than anything fishy. Still not as bad as some referees in professional sports(but MILES better than the glorified rec. refs that are in college sports). There does appear to be a general decline in the NFL refs this season. Haven't paid enough attention to see if it is certain crews or not.
