Mr. Scot

Rhule speaking now

After some of the stuff I've been through over the last few years, I'm actually surprised I'm still here. Doctor looked me in the eyes a while back, told me that my internal organs were malfunctioning and said "I'm gonna be straightfoward here. This is killing you". Hard to describe what you feel when somebody tells you something like that.

DJ Moore suffered somewhat last season from the fact that Teddy Bridgewater just seem to have no chemistry with him whatsoever. Not sure people are taking that into account when they evaluate him.

This discussion kind of reminds me of just how much misinformation there is out there. In the Panthers Confidential video, you saw Alijah Vera-Tucker and Caleb Farley listed as trade down possibilities on Rhule's board, not Rashawn Slater. Yet in the weeks prior, there had been chatter that we liked Slater better than we liked Sewell.

If you look in your profile under "account" there's an ignored users list that you can add names to.

Analysts are talking about Julio Jones a lot right now. The Titans seem to be the favorites to land him.

My mom passed at 61. My brother barely made it past his 62nd birthday. I'm 54 and have had major health issues before, so yeah...

Here are some good tips. Wait...Was that not what you meant?

Saw that. They just recently lost a longtime photographer too.

I have.

And again, if he had "unequivocally proven" anything, he wouldn't have been replaced and let go and more than two teams would have pursued him.

Also, just because...

It's not really that big a deal. And I wouldn't bet on it having anything to do with Fitterer. We're talking about a logistics and planning guy, not a personnel guy. Plus it sounds like a good portion of what got him forced out might have happened before Fitterer even got here. In his previous stops, Padden was likely used to holding a lot of sway because he was basically Rhule's second in command. An NFL organization is way more complicated than that. Sounds like maybe he was just throwing around weight that he didn't have and it pissed people off.

If there had been zero questions, he never would have left stop #1. And in fact, there were major questions, especially about his shoulder. That's why only two teams really pursued him.

Yeah. It's a legit "heat of the moment" decision. I think a lot of these things are, because if you took a moment to think about it you'd probably realize it was insane.

You've convinced me. It's not an act.

This is one of those things that looks really cool, then afterward you ask yourself what the hell you were doing and call yourself an idiot.

The league is mostly about hot young offensive coaches these days.

OL lineup New TEs Arnold and Tremble Terrace Marshall, Chuba Hubbard Jaycee Horn

Plus you have an offense that spreads the ball around.

So there was some conflict somewhere after all. "Employees/officials throughout the organization" makes it sound like he annoyed a bunch of people.

Probably not. Might have just wanted to get back into the college game. Or may have wanted a change of scenery.

Padden is the guy that raced a mobile tackling dummy then had it knock him on his ass after he won. "Operations" for the Panthers is mostly logistical stuff. He wasn't a personnel guy. Neither is his replacement.

People are looking for something that isn't there.
