Tepper said Sam Darnold was a very good QB repeatedly right before the draft. Tepper says things that aren’t true to the media and public. This is not a unique concept. *spoiler alert* Tepper does not think Sam Darnold is a very good QB

Yeah, when long time and known beat writers come out with something? yeah, I generally think they have it nailed big picture more often than not. and that same reporting said Rhule would get this 3rd season too.

I think Matt Rhule sucks as a NFL HC and I think most get that. Think my eye sight is pretty good in that direction.

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-david-tepper-unhappy-embarrassed-162437347.html yeah, just referencing legit reporters who cover all this isn’t tinfoil hat territory *also, NFL guys have also reported Matt Rhule isn’t going to be sad to leave either when the day gets here.

I mean the embarrassment was not just over Rhule…but the contract as well. Firing Rhule in year 3 makes Tepper look better. Especially as you seek to woo someone new to come here. *and again, the reporting is Tepper and company are looking around at who they will be interested in wooing. Tepper had to address that today I believe. Rhule knows he is a dead man walking this year. Just go watch those draft pressers where he finally was allowed out of the basement.

Tepper said Sam was a very good QB. Repeatedly. that’s basically how I view his Rhule talk. He is stuck with Rhule for one more year. Clearly has little confidence in him based on reporting of his embarrassment….and the fact he clearly stripped Rhule of power. It’s a lame duck year. GM built a staff to deal with the upcoming in season firing too. Even planned ahead for if Snow follows him out of loyalty.

Ron and Fox are what they are. And what tier they are in is determined by comparing them vs their peers. so if you look at NFL coaches over the last 30 years? Ron and Fox were good. It’s not easy to do better. Everyone wants better. It’s easy to do worse and most coaches over the last 30 years are worse than Fox/Ron. Ron finished with a winning record. A winning postseason record. 3 division titles. 1 conference title. That’s a good run. Fox had a good run. Those windows came and went. Rhule isn’t them. He didn’t to come in as one of those type coaches. His teams don’t look like there’s did. His teams get worse as the season goes on. That’s not what Fox and Ron teams were about. They finished strong. Grew and got better even in a losing effort. Rhule teams basically look how Fox/Ron’s teams looked at the end. When we all knew we were at the end.

Ron didn’t inherit Cam and Luke. Ron went out and got them. Ron built the Ron era Panthers. Ron had more to work with because of the decisions Ron made. Rhule was allowed to do whatever he wanted. He opted for Sam and Baylor/Temple guys. Rhule is why Rhule is working with that he has.

Yeah, again, Fox and Ron were solid NFL coaches. Breaking them down doesn’t change the tier that they reside in. Rhule will make franchise history this year with his 3rd consecutive losing season. He is a college college. Simple as that. He is a solid college coach.

Rivera was a very solid NFL HC. Like a John Fox type. and you pair a great QB with that tier HC Matt Rhule is NOT that tier HC.

he pretty muched solved it overall. Fans overall were content to have him back and lose every game w/ him. It was basically a real goodbye we never got to have. Rhule even robbed us from that at the end.

you said you saw 12 wins. Just trying to figure out what you were seeing.

The last two home games prior to Cam’s surprise return….you could hear the boos from BOA on the TV coverage. And there was a LOT of season left. Cam solved that problem for them.

1-4 at home, McAdoo coaching the Bengals game

Who are the 5 losses?

5-7 wins. That’s about it. Tougher schedule than last year too.

Yeah, that rough. Sets up for a 2-5 type start having decent odds.

I mean the Panthers are probably eyeing a lot of coaches. I think people have forgotten how bad it got for Matt Rhule before Tepper brought in Cam to calm everyone down. Has potential to get real ugly quick this year for Rhule

and for Rhule and Sam not to get boo'd out of BOA early.....you got to coddle Sam again. Hide how bad he is.

They basically played TMJ the first 5 games and then put him away. Yeah, he occasionally saw the field but he wasn't really worked into the O after those first 5 games.

They should say it will be an open competition starting day one. he didn’t say player X was the starting LT as of today.

Eh, I don’t think he really said anything. Lot of bland coach talk IMO. Think Sam is basically defaulted into the #1 spot and will start off the season. Sam is the #1. If it was an open competition then they wouldn’t keep making that clear. Matt Rhule still locked in the basement though I guess

well, Horn and TMJ are my 1 and 2 but that almost feels like cheating. Probably Deonte Brown. I still think given how bad our OL was last year he should of gotten more time in the fire to grow to see what was what. But Rhule seemed to always have an excuse for not playing these young guys despite the comp ahead of them being bad. I mean, not playing rookies on a rebuilding team with bad comp ahead of them??BC's arms were short. Brown too fat or something. TMJ's gait. We should of been playing these guys last year more.

He would be good complimentary RB add to the backfield. Much like Ameer was last year. Who I believe is gone and frankly was the best overall RB we had once CMC was off the table. He has hands and is a nice 3rd down type option. And yeah, he has a legit return resume.
