If they can workout a buyout with Tepper, have at it.

1st round bust, probably bad but still better than what we got. Bring him in.

Most people are still expecting Rodgers to be gone this offseason, so I doubt they would be interested.

If we traded for Watson, Panthers PR is going to delay any press conferences for as long as they can. When they can't anymore, they are going to try to screen the questions, which will also end in disaster. Rhule, Fitterer, and probably even Tepper himself will be subject to extensive questions that I doubt they would be able to give a good answer for. It would be peak embarrassment.

I was on the fence, but now I can fully say that if Penn State loses Franklin and calls to inquire about Rhule, Tepper better have his ears open to working out a payout. Let's get an NFL coach. Penn State was supposedly Rhule's college "dream job".

I doubt Mac Jones would do any better switched with Lawrence or Wilson. Fields, maybe. Patriots are doing good job managing his progress. I doubt he would make a difference here with our current personnel.

This is not a playoff team rn. This happens almost every year. Win a couple games early, but reality sets in and teams start taking advantage of deficiencies that can't be schemed away. Nothing can be done now that can make a difference this season, but Moton should be the only familiar face on the starting line on opening day next week. Highest paid free agent in 2022 needs to be an Olineman. Top draft pick needs to be an OLineman. The trade deadline will be interesting this year with Fitterer as GM. Rhule needs to let go of that college coach mentality. He figures himself a fixer-upper that can coach up mediocre talent. He did that successfully at Temple and Baylor (to a lesser extent), but that's less likely in the NFL. If he can't, then the LSU and USC jobs are open and Tepper can look for an actual NFL coach.

It's worth a shot regardless, we just have hope that the change in scenery and culture helps his mental and we aren't trading for a Justin Gilbert type.

USC? I doubt it. However if USC takes James Franklin from Penn St I can definitely see them reaching out.

Looks like "versatile/versatility" is going to be the new coaching buzzword that I hate.

Fitterer needs to get on the line and convince Larry Warford to come out of retirement if he is still in shape.

Jansen looks he's saying a prayer for Slye.

That's gotta be his career right there, this will be the 3rd straight season.

The concern I have with Rhule is that I feel like he believes that he is fixer-upper. That can take underachieving guys and make them good. He did it with Temple and he did it with Baylor, but the NFL is a whole different animal. This insistence on shielding Darnold from scrutiny furthers my believe.

Lmao

Rhule isn't giving Grier much of an opportunity to show what he's got.

Cmon, Christiansen, you were having a good game before this.

Walker is weird. Like his stat line looks good but almost every pass he has completed has been behind the receiver.

Christiansen has looked good in pass pro this first drive.

Really don't understand what they see in Walker and Grier to not bring in a 4th. Should explore trading for Minshew if the cost is low or bringing in Matt Barkley or Blake Bortles, neither are good, but at least provide veteran presence.

This list is invalid considering former Arkansas State DT Dee Liner isn't up here.

It'll probably be retractable. Gonna have to find year round use for it beyond outside sporting events.

If the Panthers suck next season, this will be getting a lot of use.

Absolutely, but it's just in case he's trash in the NFL and is out the league in 2-3 seasons. Calgary would have dibs. That's how I believe it goes anyway.

I would prefer Poles as well. Familiarity is not always the way to go.
