What type season do the Panthers actually have? I mean it’s not uncommon to see QBs on teams that can’t win finish with some strong passing numbers.

well, you said he has improved in every area people have been critical of him. I guess we are on very different pages of what people are being critical of him about. 90% of the stuff will take actual football to show if there has been any actual improvement/growth from my vantage point. The other 10% is stuff that people only care about because he loses. It is basically the icing on top and winning makes it all irrelevant. Therefore, it doesn't even matter. I'll give an example, Matt Rhule's in game management is horrible. He hasn't had an opportunity to show improvement there yet. Matt Rhule's inability and/or slowness to make adjustments is horrible. Both sides of the ball. He hasn't had an opportunity to show improvement there yet.

I mean, he hasn't done that. Only an actual season would afford him an opportunity to show if he has managed improvement in most of the areas he has been knocked for.

I mean, I got tired of people moaning about Marty Hurney and Mike Shula. I obviously didn't love them but it wasn't really my thing to hate overly hard on them. Everyone gets their fandom out different. Complaining about sports is just sports 101 IMO. That's what people do.

Matt Rhule signed a 60 million dollar deal to work in the entertainment business. He is okay. He willingly signed up for this gig. And getting "fan hate" or "media hate" shouldn't be conflated with hating of actual humans. Matt Rhule knows what happens when you take the job and lose. For all the 7 year JayZ BS he spewed he addressed the fact he knew he had to win up front at the time as well. Rhule ain't dumb. Nor is he someone that needs actual defense. What is going on here is fandom 101.

They were better at their jobs though. It’s like saying Moton wasn’t bitched as much as the rest of the OL added together. Matt Rhule is bitched about like others guys that have sucked really bad here. Whether that was a coach or player Difference is, those guys have all been fired. Even Marty Hurney or Shula had some positives to talk on amid the horribleness. Rhule doesn’t have that.

People have short term memories. Matt Rhule isn’t getting unique disrespect. Huddle has always shat on people really bad at their jobs what’s unique is he wasn’t fired after 2022. Which was a top 10 single season show by a HC over the last 2 decades

No, but the Rhule brigade is incapable of letting any thread be about anything but Rhule defense. Even when someone marks a thread to try to get posters to channel their Rhule dislike that would essentially give you more of what you claim to want.....here you are.

Yeah, Matt Rhule punts from the Browns 34 yard line twice or runs 3 fake punts vs Saints and we shouldn’t talk about it. Because of feelings or whatnot.

Inside access! Footage of Ben McAdoo showing Rhule how to fix his offense

True. But Kelly brought something though. It was like Spurrier. See if it could work at this level. It didn’t. But I got the intrigue of a NFL team wanting to see. Rhule just seemed like a weird tier to want to try. Even weirder to give him that contract given his college resume wasn’t anything really special.

Yeah, I don’t care who they play against pending they play. I’d just like to see them get some reps in to get some timing and chemistry in against guys they don’t know. I could still probably do without seeing DJ or CMC though

“Year 3 takeover” Are we going to lose to every ranked/good opponent and not win our conference/division?

yes, you had other posts. But you also had one that perfectly summarized both Joe Brady and Matt Rhule. So perfectly that I pointed it out. But again, you have ruined the illusion you actually believe what you type by admitting to being an alt. It was entertaining for a moment.

Interesting, once again, I had no problem with anything you said about Joe Brady. I just noted it was also a prefect description of Matt Rhule. It applies to both. and I no longer believe your postings are actually serious. You are just getting your kicks defending Matt Rhule. Because you clearly are an alt.

This is also an accurate description of Matt Rhule. Just replace Brady with Rhule and OC with HC.

Harbaugh and Rhule's resumes would be vastly different though. Harbaugh got it done at both levels. Rhule didn't. Harbaugh was better in college and the pros. Rhule flamed out in the NFL and was just an okay college coach. Rhule seems like a future ACC coach for like a Syracuse or something like that. Michigan fans/alum I think would be unhappy

I'm not sure the Michigan alum would allow Rhule to be the guy. Can't really sell them on going from Harbaugh to Rhule.

PFF had us as 31st.

I think BoA is where Rhule’s fate is determined. Think we currently own the longest home losing streak. He has to win at home. I mean if he loses to the Browns and Saints? Imagine the narrative after the Tom Brady/Bucs game? He can’t lose those 3 IMO.

Matt Rhule has had a chance though. I mean year 2 of Matt Rhule IMO is one of the top 10 shitshow seasons by a HC of the last decade. It just happened to coincide the same year as the #1 place holder named Urban.

I think Higgins should get a lot of reps when the season starts. That build in chemistry with Baker likely will be useful. Not sure if he will but I’d like to see it.

How dare Jordan Gross question Matt Rhule on his competitions. Gross just another irrational Rhule hater it seems.

Yeah. Everyone knew who the best QB and C were at the start of Wofford. They lost work because Rhule going to do Rhule things. it’s lost work for no reason. And yeah, Baker and Bozeman had some work. But they didn’t get the work actual starters would be repping. Just like Bozeman wasn’t working the whole time beside the starting Gs, Baker getting starter reps with his WR, etc.

Didn't the Patriots players even say it was a clean hit and the hit wasn't the problem? I mean, he celebrated over a downed guy. But it was also quick and he walked on. Hard to say he knew the extent of the injury in the moment. But it's a bad look in hindsight.
