Won't be able to tell how shitty that is gonna be over the sound of Canes hockey being back tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon

This either cements Cam not getting signed for next year or it indicates we're keeping Cam healthy to assess in camp next season. Either way, not watching this poo show of a team until something changes. At least in 1-15 we stuck to our guns and tried to do something with the bad product and coaching we had. Rhule has been flailing for weeks and making some of the worst decisions I've ever seen from an NFL team.

Ok so the Reddit OP's uncle is from NY and was hired by Carolina. Could be Dan Morgan. High school and college in Florida, worked for the Bills before coming back. Idk if he or his wife have siblings and if so, they're in Florida still. But it's not impossible. Tom Glick is another possibility. Again, guy that has been between NY and the UK before coming here. Unsure on Florida ties. I don't have the time to invest in background research into everybody in the organization, but there could be credibility to this.

If Tre Boston is tweeting this stuff...I imagine others currently in the locker room feel it.

Called it.

No shot

Brady gashing us with his legs. Says it all

Because his reasoning is as follows. p1: having a QB is a good thing. p2: playing one QB for a game is a good thing. p3: two QBs are needed on the roster. c : we should play both QBs.

Tepper is in over his head. He has no idea what to even look for in a coach. He got tricked by Rhule's salesmanship into a 7 year contract on the promise that things would gradually improve and here we are.

Was literally coming in to leave this comment. A man of culture as well, I see.

I've seen high school teams more organized and motivated to play.

I would honestly be 100% ok with this if it meant the Hurricanes wouldn't suffer at all. Dundon got it. He knew his role and after he got the right people in place, he backed off and let the guys in his staff do their jobs. The genius of Dundon came early with moves like this. https://www.canescountry.com/2018/3/8/17094968/carolina-hurricanes-ron-francis-firing-tom-dundon-don-waddell-bill-peters

Seriously, Tepper needs to call Tom Dundon and have a sit down with coaches and GMs of both teams. Let the Hurricanes give pointers on building an organization up and building a culture. Because this entire franchise is shambles right now.

Sounds kinda like hating the step sibling and blaming them for your mom and dad divorcing and remarrying. I mean I'm not big on the QB money we've wasted but none of that is on Sam. Sam I truly believe could be good. Problems are obvious, and idk that they're fixable since they are 99% in his head. I certainly don't like the prospect of being stuck with him without some sort of mandatory therapy with a therapist that works specifically with athletes.

I don't understand the Darnold hatred. I really don't. He ain't it, but he's at least as good a passer as Cam right now. Cam just offers more with his legs. Rhule needs to decide who is playing now. If it's Cam, Darnold sits all game. If it's Darnold, you can bring Cam in inside the 10 on 2nd-4th downs or on short 3rd downs.

At least 5 posters ITT would make better coaches than Rhule right now.

Matt Rhule pulls out the QB who made a big play to put in the QB who started the game in a formation that the entire world knows is going to be a run play, and then two plays later, throws Sam back in on a 3rd down play and expects him to find the rhythm. Rhule is a fuging moron.

Bro I absolutely hate the Verizon commercials. And as much of the Peacock app my wife and I watch, she's like every commercial. I wanted to off myself the first 2k times.

Somehow we hold them to a fg. At least our death will take a half.

There haven't been multiple dangerous passes. There's literally been the one ill advised throw, the pick. Tight throws that were really well defended are not dangerous in the implied sense here. Cam was doing well up to the pick

I have seen Cam walk onto the field a handful of times. I've seen him drive down to win in the rain against the Saints. I've seen him flip into the endzone against the Texans. I've seen him throw all over the place against the Vikings. I've seen him go off on the Seahawks in the playoffs. I'm grateful I'm not there today. I don't want my last Cam moment in person to be him being pulled for Sam Darnold in the 2nd quarter.

Alright, Coach Rhule. Calm down.

So, since we have a few days off, let's discuss something. What's everybody's hockey knowledge depth here? Do we have beer leaguers or do we have casual fans that learned over time or do we have guys who literally know the bare bones? I became a fan about 4 months before the Stanley Cup win. I was in high school and my football coach told me I should check out some "redneck hockey". I did and fell in love...but I didn't totally understand the game. Fast forward a few years, I'm in college and have been watching regularly for about a season and a half. I've learned the game due to a college roommate from Charlotte who LOVES hockey. He walked me through basics of zones, offsides, icing, cross checking, high sticking (I knew the terms but not the nuances). A year later, and im figuring out exactly how and why positions function. A few years after that, I'm playing pickup with my buddy who played in leagues as a kid and I'm clueless. I can kinda skate but im a baby deer with pads and a stick. He teaches me enough and pickup guys are kind to newbies. Nearly 6 years later, still have my stick and gear, haven't played any pickup (Indian Trail for those curious where) in a few years due to marriage and kids. But I had gotten competent. I feel I understand hockey at nearly the level of football at this point.

Here's my thought process. 6 players are FAs after this season. Kotkaniemi (21) Nino (29) Trochek (28) Stepan (31) Necas (22) Lorentz (25) Then we have Fast (30) and Jordan (33) due up the following. Necas, Lorentz, and Kotkaniemi are all RFA. We have a lot of young talent, but we also have a well oiled machine of a team. Jordan is replaceable and we all know that. Stepan is a solid have, but not somebody we can't replace the production of. If we're looking long term, Fast being moved sooner rather than later gives us the biggest possibility of a return. He's a veteran guy who could help a lot of teams and he's not a necessary, gotta have piece here. It's a good problem to have and we kinda hold the keys. I think we for sure keep Kotkaniemi because he's really standing out to me. Nino and Tro I'm really on the fence with, especially Nino because he's been so good for us for several seasons.

Let's be real, long term. Stepan and Fast or Drury and Poturalski. That's the choice we're looking at for the future
