Blame the OC and showcase what your very good QB will do with a new one to save the day.

I would guess he is fired next year and they waste most of that rookie contract on dud coaching but there is always the chance he can bring in a good enough OC to save his job but I wouldn't bet on it personally. 

Couldn't agree more, though the Chargers should be on the phone already trying to get Mike Lafleur to interview for OC. Lafleur was used as a scape goat big time. He comes from the Shanahan tree and the Chargers have very very good personnel for that scheme

It's so hard to get a quality candidate for a HC on the hot seat and no way he doesn't at least appear to be on the hot seat already. I'm not sure and don't know enough about Lafleur. Could work, the QB is there so all they really need is decent coaching.

I'm guessing Robbie Anderson is out the door....lol

Panthers related, does this put Kyler on the trade block and put Arizona in the draft a QB conversation at pick 3? This would obviously hamper our chances at drafting one of the QB's

A new coach could want somebody new, especially since Murray's future was very much up in the air a year ago.....right before they extended him. 

That extension is the 800-pound gorilla in the room.  His dead cap is almost $100M this year.  His 2024 salary jumps to $37M, so I doubt anybody is going to take him in the trade market.

Unless they want to eat a bunch of that contract against the cap, they are tied to him for another few years.  None of that prevents them from drafting a QB and they do have cap space, but Murray's contract is a pretty bitter pill for them to swallow.  I have no idea what they were thinking with his extension.

That's who I wanted as Panthers OC had Wilks been retained.

Very true that contract is an albatross to try and move

Former Panthers scout / VP of Player Personnel / acting GM Ryan Cowden gets passed over.

Wonder If he'd return here in some capacity.

From the looks of things Fitterer is making the calls on staffing, for now. I guess we will have to wait on Peyton to announce his decision before we know the fate of our current front office.

DeCamillis Is a guy I would look at if he didn't retain Tabor.

I'd like to retain Tabor though.

I like Tabor as well.  Seems to have really good energy and connection with the players.  Our ST were quite good this year.  Pinero was the second best kicker by percentage this year among kickers with more than 20 kicks.
