We’re talking about offensive linemen, including interior linemen. Not QBs. These guys respond to money, and the panthers should be willing to pay lots and lots of money. They should take the same approach to free agency on the line that they did last season-the différence being they should target players who haven’t been proven failures throughout the entirety of their career. pay money.

I don’t know if you’re new here but I assure you I will be vocal about who we should sign as soon as the available class is locked in

My ability to see which players are headed into free agency along with a familiarity of the league and it’s players that surpasses yours.

This really isn’t the big problem. it’s a strong FA class for offensive linemen, and the panthers are picking high enough to draft a franchise QB. My concerns are more with our inability to develop talent and a dated offensive philosophy, along with an atrocious power hierarchy. Oh, and an owner who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

“Matt, tell them it wasn’t all your fault”

“Good news”

apparently his intent is to come out of hiding after the team hires an OC which means that either A) the glazer report was true and rhule has to try and sell a coach on the idea of coming here but oh yeah you may actually be immediately fired if the owner doesn’t like you or B) the entire thing was just a ruse to buy tepper as much time as possible before he had to march out to the podium like a man and face us in the hopes that tensions will simmer a bit and he can sell some good news

Did anyone at any point last season think “hm yes if only our special teams play was improved” if anything this team has had a really good run of specialists with Blackburn here he was fired because he was a holdover from the previous regime and probably still says “keep pounding” in hushed tones when rhule isn’t around #culturechange

A token sacrificial offering of a bunch of guys Matt rhule doesn’t really know or care to work with

“We signed two guys and it just didn’t work out”

I still can’t believe he actually threw out the “collaborative decision” bean way to be a man

lol satterfield just got handed the keys to a free pac 12 head coaching job in 2023, he isn’t going anywhere

having a poor offensive line for a season is unfortunate but isn’t going to cost you your job You can easily pass off a number of excuses to your boss ”well it was a rebuild” ”in the salary cap era it’s really hard for teams to field 22 great players” “The Horn injury makes everything look worse” but the kind of colossal and costly misjudgments they’ve made at the QB position can’t be excused or hidden or explained away, and in the NFL, you don’t usually get to make that mistake twice

It’s just a generic thing you say to try and satiate the bloodlust “we have to get better up front” ”we didn’t do a real good job executing” ”we as coaches have to do better” by singling out this one obvious and specific but ultimately small thing and intentionally missing the forest for the trees, you hope to make people look away from the big picture massive misfires that could cost you your job. textbook PR maneuvering

Rockstar coordinator bill o brien

Stupid penalties like that there are why you throw the ball as often as possible

I don’t care about their responses i care about what they actually believe.

“Was it a mistake to picks up Sam darnolds 5th year option before he played a down for you” ”well you look at it as 22 million over two years and….” lol the logic hoops these guys will jump through to justify their poor decisions

Wow.

Oh wow do they? Every single scout? at least you’ve put a timer on your argument, in a week we won’t have to pretend like your argument has any credence anymore.

“guys if I say these prospects aren’t good then they aren’t good! why won’t you dummies listen to me!”

There will be good QBs that come out of this class as there always is. Picking #9 or #11 or #6 is going to yield a similar crop of potential at the QB spot next season. Delaying the inevitable only delays potential success. The last sentence is not only a silly fallacy, but also seems to imply that a top 6 pick is the only way to add OL talent. Opportunities for OTs are always there. Opportunities for QBs are not.

Best part is it doesn’t sound like there’s been any change in the power dynamic, he’ll still wield all the power he’s always had, the only new coaches will be the replacements he needs for the vacancies he created to save his job, and the new OC will be hired to fit into his dated Offensive philosophy. i had no idea Tepper was such a little man. So scared of confrontation that you can’t come in and mandate sweeping ultimatums after that kind of disaster? What a coward. There’ll be nowhere to hide when he has to spearhead the Rhule firing press conference next season.

Fittererer was the driving force behind the Darnold deal. You cannot get Brandon beane’d again. If Morgan is a rising star then you give him the reigns.

It doesn’t matter, acquiring one is a whole lot more difficult than acquiring the other. You take the opportunities to do so when presented to you.
