Matt Rhule just showed us his true colors.
kungfoodude replied to TheoJay10's topic in Carolina Panthers
I think the staff and FO learned some obvious lessons about OL quality this season(and will continue to learn the same lesson). The fact that Fitterer said he has been actively trying to improve the OL makes me comfortable with the future. I think we see that our staff and FO immediately realize how much of a mistake they made and will learn from it. Although a lot of the fans could obviously see how bad the OL moves were, they can see it now too and I think they will learn from it. We all just have to take some nasty medicine this year learning from those mistakes. -
We need to improve 8 of 9 players in that unit. That makes us a potentially great team. Luckily making significant improvements across the board shouldn't be that hard. About 4-5 of the guys that have gotten snaps for us wouldn't see the field for the majority of other NFL franchises. I can't say I would trade CMC. You need a high caliber player/pick(s) in return and his trade value is probably not that high. Banged up as he has been, I don't think you dump an elite player for the sake of dumping him. You need to get something of significant value in return. Also, no panic on the window here. We are insanely young on defense and I am not nearly as worried about our ability to continue to replace players on it as I have been with previous teams.

Rhule/Fitterer thought this was a NFL caliber offensive line.
kungfoodude replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
We are discussing sinking and floating turds here. This line has been bad in every single game. There is literally no question about this. I know for whatever reason you thought we had put together a competent offensive line this offseason but there have been few more obvious offseason blunders in franchise history than what we did on the OL this offseason. It's so incredibly upsetting because of how fuging obvious it was. All that said, this is a far, far better team that I ever expected. QB is still weak but we really are just a competent OL away from being a consistent playoff team. Maybe a competent OL and good QB away from being a championship caliber team. Zero chance I thought I would say that before the season. -
TBQH, he isn't that talented. He is a relatively one trick pony as an OL prospect. Brute strength and size with little lateral mobility or finesse. He may end up being a good 2nd string OL here but we only look at him with hope because of how poor the rest of the roster is. This is shades of Daley. Hoping upon all hope our late round draft OL bails us out.

Those were not even remotely competent acquisitions. -

Cut for who? This OL is the best available to us. Sad as that may be, it is the truth. -
Matt Rhule just showed us his true colors.
kungfoodude replied to TheoJay10's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is his second straight game making boneheaded throws that actively hurt us. He is who he is. It doesn't help to try and coach his bad habits out of him and put a HS JV OL in front of him, however. This is not setting him up for success. Not at all. -
This is the same thing that was said about Little and Daley. The fact of that matter is, if you can't make it through this dumpster fire of an OL, you probably aren't going to amount to much. Not saying it is impossible but the odds are very low. And, why should we expect anything of Brown? He is a 6th round draft pick. Even making the roster was a win.
-
The people blaming this on the defense, I literally have no idea what planet you are living on. This was the most obvious blame imaginable.

50/50 Darnold and that terrible OL. -
I think you have to take at least 7-8 OL in the next 3 drafts. Sounds crazy but I mean it. There isn't a single member of our roster on that unit worth keeping other than Moton. Not one. That is a hell of a rebuild. QB....I think Darnold is a better bridge QB than Teddy was. Let him play out his deal and maybe try and get him back for a short term cheap deal while you target your next QB.
-
What changes are left to make? I mean....seriously? Fitterer already said that we cannot acquire anyone via trade. The bed has been made and we just simply have to lie in it. It's mostly upsetting because of how insanely predictable it was. Anyone with any sense could see this coming from a mile away. I love the defense they have built. It is far, far, far, far better than I ever imagined it being. I just wish we had been much wiser with our draft and FA moves on that offensive line. Any improvements at all would have been huge.
-
I am not saying to ignore other needs or BPA but how in the world you don't go heavy OL in 2022+ is beyond me. fug me running...how is this not the most obvious and most critical need? There is literally nothing to build on in the two deep other than Moton. Nothing.
-
It is a shame to waste a dominant defense on this offense. Darnold is not the guy for us long term but fug me running who could be successful behind this dumpster fire of an OL. I cannot recall the dolts that defended the offseason OL moves but you should be embarrassed by that take. This may be the worst OL this franchise has ever fielded. It is sickening, given how good the rest of the roster is.
-
It isn't foolish, it's smart. Quality OL are rarer and rarer, hence why we have been able to trade for two great CB's but can't get a single team to bite on even a backup OL(according to our GM). OL is the single and sole focus of the next offseason. Even over QB, which is clearly a weak point too. I haven't seen many OL's worse than this in the NFL, much less in franchise history.
-
Well Trubisky was a VASTLY more accurate college passer than Howell has been. Howell‘s best season of accuracy is basically Trubisky's career average.
-
I think the only lack of need on the OL is RT(Moton). We need to focus on improving the line with a push to make it dominant by 2024ish. Make no mistake, that unit will need multiple offseasons to get vastly better.
-
The more I see Howell, the more I see Trubisky. Just a hot and cold gunslinger. I think we see a small school or G5 QB go first in the draft.
-
It's early though, it's possible some guys start flying up the charts as the season progresses.
-
Moton to start at LT, Christensen at RT
kungfoodude replied to Cary Kollins's topic in Carolina Panthers
I am not sure I even have that hope. I just hope we see improvement. Any improvement is better than nothing. -
QB's will be overdrafted anyway. I hope we can land a top shelf OT or IOL. That is our big need.
-
I don't.
-
It is early but this 2022 QB class looks like it may not have a surefire 1st round pick in it. Let's hope Darnold is the guy. If he is, our future is so, so, so bright.

Are you a @TheBigKat alt???

Meanwhile, over at that other expansion team...
