But we also have never seen an elite goalie in Carolina. Wouldn't that be interesting to see in our system? Could solve a few of the goal scoring problems by itself.

Schiano is in the discussion but I ultimately think Rhule was a bigger disaster.

I hope not but we both know there are.

I genuinely think only one of those guys on that list is worse and that is Urban Meyer.

Good. I hope more and more of this crap becomes public so that people who still think he wasn't the absolutely worst coaching hire in franchise history can see. Also so that they can see how he was one of the worst in NFL history.

One of the last Matt Rhule usernames around.

Falcons, maybe?

I mean, I would be floored with that. Talk about setting a good identity.

Remember he did come from the Legion of Boom era of the Seahawks. I definitely see some signs of him trying to create a little bit of that here.

Cam is not high on that list. I will live him forever but his arm is completely shot. It just is what it is. Dalton is probably #1 or #2. Teddy might be the only contender.

I have been to the current stadium. It is very nice.

There is a difference between serious AAU and just teams that are made up of any Tom, Dick or Harry that will pay. At the younger levels, it's pay to play but in serious programs that starts to split off once they get towards being teenaged. By 14U to 16U(depends on the program) there are no more payments from parents for each event, it's all shoe sponsorship money that covers most of the expenses. Obviously the serious programs are dwarfed by the run of the mill programs but almost all of the best talent will end up on a serious, sponsored team. That's really the only way to build yourself as a serious scholarship level athlete.

I would disagree in general. It isn't any worse than it was before. Also you definitely see a marked increase in focusing on the academic side because so many of those careers were hampered due to that kind of thing back in the day. I am telling you this from actual personal experience, BTW. I have been involved with and around AAU basketball for almost 25 years.

That's something that was true in the 90's and early 2000's. AAU isn't rife with that anymore. It exists but a smaller percentage. TBH, AAU ball is much better prep for college than high school basketball. HS basketball is just about useless for most kids. A lot of that comes from former(and current) college and pro athletes having big AAU programs. They know what it takes to make successful athletes. Far more so than a lot of the shady characters that were around the AAU(and HS) scene back in the day.

Is this poll about memes???

Well I think that technically has to happen in Game 1 first.....

He's got a little head coach in him. Says a lot without saying anything.

100%. All time low in the market is possible.

He gotta get that second contract before I invest in a jersey.

As a Panthers fan I am gonna be skeptical at the moment. It's the prudent choice. But I will say this is about as excited as I have been in a few years.

I think if we haven't made a signing yet among the available group we probably will stand pat until camp cuts roll around. Maybe not even then. Depends on TC.

If we get above .500, I am good. That is a big success for where we are in this transition. If we finish a game or two under .500, not a big deal. Now 10+ wins? Look out.

It's a mild slight but if he does it this season I think that changes quite a bit.

Yeah I would be quite happy with 9-8.

He has always been a backup caliber player. His biggest problem is that he isn't good at much other than running the ball and he's really average at that. It's hard to be a one trick pony RB in the modern NFL.
