Got to think Matt Rhule's wife's favorite draft pick isn't going to be on the high priority list with this new staff. I mean, Hubbard doesn't really pass the eyeball test IMO. A decent enough pure runner (average)....but just a trainwreck since he has been drafted as a reciever. Which is the post he occupies. The dual-purpose RB. I liked the pick at the time. But the experiment is long over.

Foreman will be 27. I'd welcome him back for cheap. But we likely saw the best he will ever give. We really need to replace Hubbard. We need a pass catching RB.

Contract and location says it all. Small one year deal to go home and be a healthy arm in camps until the top of the depth chart/talent is ready.

Diversity certainly helps. A well rounded cast. See Trevor this year in Jacksonville. we need RB, TE and WR help

Nuk

I don’t like the set up though… If the #1 busts… You could have a Fields/DJ connection work out great and a QB at 9 work out. A double hit of egg on the face. I’m still ok with it. Don’t like DJ going there though. I’d rather of dealt Burns

That’s probably true. Trade CMC and keep Rhule. but ego of how foolish they were looking finally kicked in. So I get it.

We did tank. We traded CMC after firing Rhule. That’s a tanking attempt by a front office. Players still play. Coaches still coach. They still care about their futures….which isn’t tied or viewed specifically to Carolina’s long term future

I think this is just LB Damien Wilson in reality. And random twitter accounts just named another LB

I mentioned Gase/Manning. Had nothing to do with Gase being good or not. That's missing the point. The point I was making, NFL coaching is largely a push. It's a talent at key positions league. Pending a certain level of competency is meet. There are outliers on both ends obviously. But a super talented QB is simply going to be that. Gase wouldn't of prevented Mahomes from being Mahomes. Just like he could stop Peyton form having the best season in a hall of fame career. Now can the coach be the difference between a Super Bowl? Sure. Consistency year after year? Sure. But standard NFL coaching....isn't going to stop talent from showing. Sam Darnold just isn't good at this level. It's not a coaching issue holding him back. Sam's issues have always been in his DNA as a QB. You can trace them all back to college.

I don't think he brings the diversity we need. Especially given we probably can only put so much toward WR help. I think our compliment to DJ Moore needs to be someone that is a legit vertical threat. DJ Moore is the do everything guy. Which is what a young Adam was.

Sam Darnold getting better. 2nd worst QB comp % of his career 2nd lowest passing yards per game highest fumble rate of his career per game.

I said you can't put him ahead of QBs like Matt Moore. Which you can't. At best, you might could argue Sam Darnold is on par w/ the Matt Moore's of the world. Which even that involves you throwing all stats out the window. Because Matt Moore edges him out in basically every statistical category. Is anyone up in arms when we say Matt Moore is one of the sucky old QBs we have had to play over the last 20 years? Nope.

The people saying Sam Darnold is bad.....aren't claiming all the other QBs over the last 20 years weren't bad though. Sam is being held to the same standards. You can't even put Sam Darnold ahead of the Matt Moore's. Sam Darnold is not a good NFL QB.

can’t judge Corral on that preseason game. Corral wasn’t getting camp work going into it. Reps weren’t there for a rookie 4th string QB when their was a battle between the 1 and 2 QB that last all preseason. Imagine being a rookie QB that doesn’t get camp work…..being thrown out there in a Matt Rhule offense with guys who are now selling insurance.

I would assume the getting rid of all Rhule's guys likely leans toward his non-draft picks and the Rhule veteran/culture guys. Think him then immediately talking Horn makes it just sound weird. They aren't getting rid of Brown, Icky, TMJ, BC, Shi etc either. But the Robbies. The Darnolds. The Baylor crew. Those are the types that really helped mold the Matt Rhule stink that Cam was smelling when he returned. Cam might be washed but Cam certainly knows the right vibe you want. The type guys you need. That was always a massive red flag when Cam spoke on having to bring that off the streets late in year 2.

Once coaching meets a certain level of competency.... it's largely just about talent in the NFL IMO. Matt Rhule didn't reach that base level. Could say the same w/ Urban. All bets are off when you are that bad. But Peyton Manning had the greatest season of his entire career with Adam Gase. Gase IMO is about on par w/ the other 90% of NFL coaches we have seen.

I actually prefer the journalist and sports guys I like not work for the Panthers. I don't like them being under the Panthers thumb and control. I just hope his moves involves staying with Panthers coverage.

but a NFL team is really no different than a politician. They all speak in half truths and aren't afraid to flat out lie about what they are doing.

yeah, you know what...I forgot that anyone can have a blue check now lol. I figured that guy I shared was a verified NFL reporter lol. Brobible though. Dumb twitter.

that technically is a denial of something else. Schefter claimed they reached out to Green Bay. Not Rodgers.

it's elsewhere too

Not sure he is washed. He was league MVP in 2021. Green Bay just had zero talent at WR and he seemed checked out. but he is a d bag. And we are a DJ Moore injury away from basically being the Packers offense but worse surrounding him. No point in renting him.
