Quick trivia: The last UNC or Mac Brown QB that did poo in the pros? Oh wait.

It's annoying when people don't know the difference between a coach and a general manager. Rhule was unable to get the production out of a team that had more talent at the time. He didn't use CMC correctly and he kept Foreman on the bench who has been ELITE. DJ Moore was close to checking out, Psycho Bob Andersen was on the brink of complete mental collapse. The run fits sucked. Hell even McAdoo is performing better without Rhule here.

I expect Tepper not to do that actually. Rhule has a laughable legacy here but ultimately he took another job and saved Tepper a boatload of money. Rhule has buried himself. No organization will hire that guy again after seeing how bitter he is if things don't work out. Panthers just remain classy here.

It's so predictable. I've watched some Nebraska content coming from their booster backed youtube channels. While trying to paint some positivity on the hire, the undertones always seem to be ripe with feelings of this could be awful but we can't say it.

Totally agree. What's funny is this man admits he wasn't a fit here. Let's speak about "fitting in" and the social dynamics that subsequently happens when one doesn't "fit" within an organization. Very simple, you take a job. You go to job. You've decided you aren't a fit and no one likes you even though you have most of the control. You admittedly stay at said job to satisfy contract obligations. Because you don't fit in, you have decided that you have to protect your ass so you don't get fugged on your contract somehow. You go through the motions to a fine tuned degree just doing everything contractually correct even though it's poor in results. You are now a cancer in the organization, all because in your mind you didn't fit in. That's what you did Rhule. You deserved to get fired. Get back to coach speak before you reveal more of yourself.

I watched his Nebraska press conference and I had PTSD flashbacks. Matt Rhule let's make one thing very clear. You didn't get fired because of wins this year. You got fired because your players literally quit on you by week 6. I watched all the business decisions players were making out on the field against San Fran. CJ Henderson literally got you fired for not even attempting to make tackles. Now he wants to take credit for WIlks success too? Stop being a petulant small man Rhule. Go enjoy douching yourself with a cornstalk asshat.

Rattler is a polarizing figure but make no mistake that guy has the best mechanics, can throw accurately from off angles, and has one of the best deep balls I've ever seen. I think he will do well in the NFL.

We in essence traded Mcafferry for Darnold, Henderson, and Mayfield. ugh

You know what? I love it. I didn't think I would. I thought I would need to see more wins since he has taken over to be cool with it. While we haven't gone on a massive winning streak we can clearly see that the team is playing much better. What Wilks has done that is so impressive is he has cleansed a very bad energy around the team, established an identity, and found some gems (Foreman). While the rage is to measure everything in computer generated metrics, analytics, and statistics.....and I get it. While that has improved to a degree, Wilks has helped heal something collectively deep and psychological for Panther fans. For veteran Panther players and the fans Wilks being the head coach feels like the rightful king has been restored. We had a new owner, new coach, they were trying to do away with Keep Pounding (probably Rhule). It felt like our history was in the early phase of being white washed from history. It was creating distance between the Panthers we have loved and this new Panthers that were a different team that only shared the name. With Wilks our past and our future has been reunited. I think you gotta give Wilks at least one year if he continues on this trajectory.

My two personal interactions left me thinking that Smith was an asshole. Not that I don't love the player and I can't see how it could be an asset on the field, but on a personal level Smith is a bit of a dick. He's beloved for what he did on the field and for good reason, but when we like someone we call them "misunderstood" even though they are just a bully.

Ulnar nerve no joke....that is incredibly painful elbow pain.

You do the deal. 3 #1's and 3 #2's in two seasons with a boatload of cap space coming in 2024. Not doing the the deal would be like a kid getting one present and forgoing Christmas.

I think WIlks made all the right decisions today. Kicker just let us down. I hope he gets a shot. Team plays with more swag.

I thought the exact same thing. I love the Panthers moniker but lets face it....their aren't even Panthers in NC. Gotta ditch the black cat.

Why are we talking about this? Strange or not the Panthers are playing for first place today. They have to try and win.

CMAC could go down next game and then you don't get anything.

Jaycee Porn...if you will

I trade DJ Moore all day for the 12 pick in the draft. He is the most overrated "underrated" receiver imo. He is great with the ball in his hands, but displays questionable effort and he can disappear through stretches. He is good, but I take the 12 pick.

Yeah batted ball for any of our other qbs.

Dj is not a dominant WR by any stretch. He is great after the catch. But I don't see any transcendent route running capability and he doesn't have one dominant physical trait that allows him to make CITs.

I actually appreciate Fowler trying to keep Tepper held accountable in the public eye. I also think that aside from that, The Charlotte observer has been toxic ever since 2017.

Personally I think its a mistake to trade CMC. I would love to see what the guy can do with a decent coach and a talented QB.

Henderson may have been hotdogging it specifically to get Rhule fired.

He literally told our players not to extend the ball across the goal line.

One of the dumbest things I've ever seen. He will blame it on analytics in the post game presser.
