Former Panther and FO: Mike Tolbert, Kaelin Klay, Kelvin Bumjamin, Star Lotuleilei, Dean Marlowe, Joe Webb, Corey Brown, Leanord Johnson, Sean McDermott, Beane, Heath Farwell, Dan Morgan, Ken Dorsey, Matt Worswick. I'm sure I've missed some, some are obscure low level staffers, but it's pretty damn clear they play favorites with familiar faces.

I agree with you.....but I also think that some of these were legit good hires/pick ups

There were a lot of experienced assistant coaches and coordinators available after the season with all of the head coaching changes. Were these the most qualified assistant coaches that we could hire? Was Dorsey the best QB coach that was available to us? At this point, I am not sure if there is anything more important to the future success of the team than Allen's development. I also find the continuing reach back and connections to the Panthers a bit tiresome. Like you or any other fan knows what a good positional coach hire would look like. I can see getting bent out of shape by a head coach hire or a coordinator hire, but position coaches? Cry me a river.
justpunt Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/player/cameron-newton Nothing about Newton's development suggests Dorsey can develop a qb. Newton is average qb and didn't improve under Dorsey. Had an MVP year but not great qbr and also had his worst qbr under Dorsey. Completion percentage went up after Dorsey left. Not thrilled.

No matter how good of a coach you are, you will always be held back or lifted depending on the talent of the actual players. Players can only be helped to a certain point. If you don't have it, you don't have it. Plus, Cam Newton got his team to a super bowl and was an MVP. Clearly he is a quality QB and should not be considered average. He's not. Certainly he has some short comings, like how he can't deal with adversity, but I gaurentee you that defensive coordinators stay up late figuring how they can contain him.
CincyBillsFan Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I love both hires - so what if they're young. For crying out loud the LA Rams are being coached by a toddler and they're in the Super Bowl! But I especially liked the Dorsey hire. My guess is this guy is looking forward to developing Allen as the kid has everything Newton had but as others have noted is a lot more coachable and willing to learn. As others have pointed out this is Dorsey's job to ride right to OC. And I like when an assistant coach has that kind of professional motivation to succeed. He'll work just as hard as Allen, which is saying something, in the off season to get this right. Should be fun to see the energy these two young coaches bring to the offense.

Hopefully he's a good coach but these guys are continually biased towards their Carolina connections and it's not even a secret.. This is getting a little ridiculous don't they know anybody from the other 30 teams? Obsessive

Fair enough assessment, but as others noted they did get to a Superbowl, and were in the post season hunt in 2017 too. Others have noted too, that it is a bit of a small sample size. Just as much as I do not trust coaches that try to stand in the sun of phenomenal athletes and take most of the credit for their development, I also am skeptical of a coach being measured by the lack of progress of a single player. Players have physical ceilings, they also have processes they are capable of picking up and things they are not. I still like the hire and hope the he and Josh develop a great synergy. It is way to early to walk out on the ledge on any of these position coaching moves.
