It seems like a reasonable bet to assume we’re landing Macdonald, Frank Smith, Callahan, or Canales. Just feels like that’s the realistic pool.

I just don’t see Quinn or Monken happening.

Johnson is a long shot.

Harbaugh and BB aren’t coming here.

Don’t think Vrabel will happen.

He got to see Bryce in live action week 5, so if he chooses Washington and on of this years top QB’s it will be an indictment on Bryce

Anyone would choose one of this year's top QBs over Bryce. They have the intrigue of having not just spent an entire season on an NFL field not looking NFL caliber. Of course you'd choose door #2 over that.

We are the polar opposite of that

Obviously. I feel like I recall Peters being discussed when we were replacing Marty and he wanted to stay at SF. It kind of hurt hearing he went to Washington.

I’m not really optimistic on what we’ll do.

Would it shock anyone if we hired Belichick and he just up and quit before the season? I could see him taking the podium and saying something to the effect of...

"Look, I wanted another project before I called it quits. I wanted to help one of the worst franchises in the league right themselves. I always respected the Panthers. I won my first Super Bowl against them. When Ron Rivera was here with Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly they competed against us as well as any team in the league. But David Tepper is a fuging moron who refuses to be helped. I have six rings already. I don't need this. I apologize to Panthers fans but this isn't what I signed up for. This was not our agreement, so I'm resigning effective immediately."

He already quit the Jets during his introductory press conference because he thought the team had pulled the rug out from under him in 2000. The difference is here he could easily just tell Tepper he is an idiot, that he is going to do what ever he wants to do and just get fired for it while taking the cash. He is absolutely better at that game than Tepper too. BB would throw him out of the room and Tepper would throw his proverbial drink while BB walks with a 7 year contract and a fat retirement package.

Bill is actually interested in Panthers job.  He inquired about the Panthers in late December.  About a week ago there was an interview with Bill and he said he’s not ready to retire just yet.  He said he still wants to take on project and make it successful.  

yeah it sure makes perfect sense if you also take into consideration the fact that we are going to hire the HC prior to making a decision on the next GM  & moreover we are interested in a cap manager / analytic type of GM to pair with someone like for example Belichick

It's incredible to watch them go do what is impossible for Tepper. Lucky fans to get ownership that does that well that quick but they did have a long time under Snyder. They are building their house the right way and it still looks like Tepper is about to do his thing again with the same crappy outcome. 

What do you want Tepper to do? They invited him to interview and Tepper has already shown (Matt Rhule) he is not afraid to open the checkbook to get the candidate he wants.

Unless were competing with the Broncos, a HC would have to walk away from the highest big for us to not get a HC...

They put the GM on the backburner and Petters would in fact leave SF. Tepper kept Fritters too long and could have hired a good GM to lure a good HC. He is trying to keep the peices he thinks is good and it should all have been wiped the day after.

His only positive is his open checkbook and the rest are negatives. He is making a mess again while the first time guys in DC are killing it. This is his third attempt and it's already questionable.

Tepper will hire Belichick  because he's the shiniest object in his eyes and give him full power. And when the team sucks in two years, tepper will say he never should have given anyone but himself full power and take it back. We are in a vicious cycle

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
