Exactly. And it shows just how incompetent the Panthers present brain trust really are.

You sumed the sitution up very nicely. It actually starts with Tepper being a bad judge of coaching talent when he hired Rhule, a college coach that is in over his head. Letting Teddy go and trying to pull magic out of a bottle by making stupid knee jerk decisions,hoping to have an instant playoff team, instead of going through a normal, safe and sane building process was plain dumb. It shows me we are dealing with people in this organization from Tepper on down that are not only to impatient but totally incompetent compared to people running the successful NFL teams.

I would not be willing to give Rhule a third season but my guess is that Tepper will at least give him one more year.

Losing out is very possible. I can easy see us losing the five remaining games to Atlanta - Buffalo -Tampa Bay-New Orleans-Tampa Bay.

I am not so sure we will not get blown out by the Falcons. They played Tom Brady and Tampa Bay tough today. The closer score would have been closer if it had not been for suspect calls against the Falcons on several drives.

With his NFL experience Nixon should have been the Panthers OC all along.When you hire college guys for the NFL,you most often get college type results, not NFL results.

Something had to give because Brady’s offense wasn’t sustainable He didn’t evolve quickly enough and NFL defensive coordinators caught up. The Panthers’ offense ranks 29th in Football Outsiders DVOA metric, which measures efficiency against league averages. Only the Lions, Falcons and Texans are worse. Over the past four games, they have scored seven touchdowns. The Panthers averages just 19.7 points per game, are 28th in yards (300.8) and 22nd in red-zone touchdown percentage. If an offense isn’t gaining yards between the 20s, scoring red-zone touchdowns or generating points then something must change. Rhule pulled the plug on his 18-month Brady experiment for all those reasons. Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article256355367.html#storylink=cpy

There is no doubting that Ben Roethlisberger has one of the best in the NFL for such a long time. Salute!!

Dave Tepper will not be tossing a football for the Panthers next year but he may be tossing some of their inept coaches off the team.

If i remember correctly,the knock on Heinicke when he was here was that he was a little frail and injury prone. Hindsight is always 20/20 but it appears the Panthers made another mistake letting him go.

Until the Panthers get a decent offensive line any QB will look bad. We have people on the Huddle claiming Cam Newton is great and Sam Darnold is terrible,the truth lies somewhere in between.

Great to see a voice with reason posting.

Cole Cubelic @colecubelic Odds to be the next Notre Dame Head Coach per @betonline_ag : Marcus Freeman 2/3 Luke Fickell 7/4 Matt Campbell 4/1 Urban Meyer 7/1 Matt Rhule 12/1 Bob Stoops 20/1 Lane Kiffin 20/1 Dave Aranda 25/1 Ed Orgeron 25/1 Pat Fitzgerald 25/1 Dave Clawson 33/1

Hmmmm!!!

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-carolina-panthers-offensive-line-sam-darnold Monson: The Carolina Panthers offensive line is in danger of derailing the Sam Darnold reclamation project I ran across this June2021 article pertaining to Sam Darnold and the Panthers inept offensive line and the mess he could be heading into at the time. I thought it interesting reading . Please clink on link to view.

Yes,that was a nice Sweater. I have to hand it to Tepper for caring enough to have a beautiful tree lighting and taking a cruise in Sir Purr's CAT CRuISER.

Clean house by sending this group back to the college ranks where they belong. Tepper needs to start hiring people that have a vast amount of NFL experience.

If Rhule needs help moving i will be more than glad to lend a hand. I feel sure a lot more on the Huddle would be willing to help as well.

Not going to happen. If that is what he wants, he may end up disappointed.

Keep Gilmore,let Jackson walk and get a 3rd comp for him next year.There is no way we can afford both, plus we have good depth at CB.

Will we be eligible for any type compensation if we chose not to resign Donte Jackson?

It is a no brainer the Panthers made a big,big mistake when they made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history in April 2020, signing him to a four-year, $64 million contract extension with a contract that runs through the 2025 season. Now the team is going to pay the price for their mistake.

Yes,that was a real smart move by our brain (brainless) trust.

My guess is that Rhule will have at least one more year here in Carolina but considering that Tepper is the teams owner, I would not bet money either way that he goes or stays.

Reflecting back in time to the 2015-16 season, we all remember how Cam went was how the Carolina Panthers went that year. When he was playing right and dancing and celebrating with his teammates and was healthy, he could win games but he couldn't change the way he played after that as teams began hitting him and planning for his runs to the point where he was calling for officials to get some of the calls. Some of it fell on Cam himself, there comes a time where you have to adjust to moving and working within the pocket instead of tucking and running, Steve McNair for example ran less and less as his career progressed and a lot of these scrambling quarterbacks now will have to make that difficult transition.
