Oh God I remember that place. The pizza sucked. The cheese was awful and horribly overpriced. Thank you for providing the one piece of context that could have made this any worse.

The Panthers have always been either milquetoast or super fun to watch. Why couldn't this happen to a franchise that deserves it like the Saints?

Rank of preferences for Baker 1. Let him walk 2. Pay him so much you can't afford Evans 3. Pay him that 180 or whatever because that's also probably too much

MJBuddy posted:Rank of preferences for Baker Rude. Pay him a reasonable amount for like 2-3 years or far better just franchise tag him this year and pay Evans. Then draft someone in the 2nd and see if they develop over the year. Fire Bowles next year and let the new HC (Canales?) make a decision.

FizFashizzle posted:Bad news about Evans and Canales ughhhhhhh I mean, if he jumps then we should be very careful about giving Baker anything longer than a 2-3 year contract. It also makes it more likely that Bowles gets fired next year bc the chances he hits on 2 coordinators in a row is pretty low.

Honestly between Slowik and Canales I'd take Canales. He's shown an ability to work with small QBs and dudes who've struggled and he's made them into solid starters. Slowik had a good year but Stroud is so insanely gifted idk how much credit goes to the OC.

I'd think Tepper would avoid Slowik just because of the success he had with Stroud. Some petty billionaire sociopath thing

Tbh if the panthers hire someone that doesn't end up doing completely stupid poo poo in the preseason and some interior line pieces can actually stay healthy there will be a marked improvement. The bar is so low at the moment.

Canales might at least make them look less pathetic if he can work his voodoo short qb magic on Bryce The only path forward is to get breathing space to let a competent coach and GM build something. Which means some form of near immediate improvement. There is a path to that if they can get the offensive line working, another few value pieces and a coach who can get something to work offensively. Whether or not they can catch lightning in a bottle and get that guy is another story. But best case is they get someone competent who's able to get some wins on the board and get things looking acceptable and hope to hit again on the next pieces and the next draft etc etc. Winning kind of solves everything but when you're banking on luck over competence you're in for a bad time. Basically though you have a roster that lost all its leaders, got injured at the worst times in the worst places and had no effective leadership from arguably anywhere, in the building. Its just all been bad, all the time.

The weird thing about Tepper's coaching/staffing decisions thus far is that most of those moves were broadly praised when they happened, and it's largely hindsight that makes them look so bad. Rhule was seen as a gamble, to be sure, but he was known as a program builder and it was thus also seen as a novel, swashbuckling, out-of-the-box approach (and when it became clear that the experiment had failed, Tepper still brought him back for another season, so the "quick to fire/impatient" tag is kind of inaccurate as well). Fitterer was seen as a great get because of his time scouting/building successful rosters in Seattle, Reich was viewed as a bit risky but brought an enormously experienced, respected, and all-star staff that had the Panthers near the top of "best offseason" lists...I don't think any of these decisions were viewed as horrifying at the time (at least not universally), it's just that absolutely none of them panned out. Even now, no one would ever argue that we should've kept Rivera, Rhule, Hurney, Reich, or Fitterer, so the Panthers have been making the right calls in that regard, they just can't seem to push the right buttons with their replacements.

Scott Fitterer was the common denominator. Dude kept a low profile so he flew under the radar, but he developed one of the worst rosters possible.

I think bad GM performance in general has been a problem for Carolina for a longer time than people realise. Marty Hurneys interim tenure was the best we've had since we sacked him the first time. Fitterer had the pedigree but the execution was severely lacking in a few areas. Im hoping that Dan Morgan has learned from their mistakes and they bring in the cap guy like they want.

Nah, there will always be the "well actually" crowd about every hire or draft pick and it's always going to be the easy position to take because unless they win a ring they're a failure in hindsight but at the time Rhule had a lot of hype about being the next dude to make the jump. He'd also built some programs and said all the right things about wanting to build a modern winning culture and team with a new era blah blah blah. It didn't work out and he's a big dumb idiot but at the time the hype was there.
