Matt Rhule has gone on record like 100 times that it was Phil Snow that came to him to about Sam Darnold. And then Rhule went and got him. That’s not a secret. Cam was only a Panther ultimately because of Ron. That’s how it works when you have a brand new HC building his team. He is calling those shots. Same reason we didn’t go after Herbert who Marty also liked. Marty has always been a coaches GM. Only time Marty did what he wanted was 2010 when Fox was an open lame duck.

Snow and Rhule wanted Sam and got him. Not Dan Morgan. Cam Newton was a Panther ultimately because Ron wanted him.

Chargers were a winning football team this year….and would have been a postseason season team if a OT FG was missed the last game of the season. we suck. The Chargers didn’t suck this year. Chargers disappointed.

They opted to draft a talented QB and opted to add good weapons around him. that’s the name of the game in today’s NFL

John Fox did a great job with Peyton. It took him a minute. But quickly realized Peyton Manning is his own QB coach and is the OC. Manning, Rodgers, Brady all run the show. They have assistants. Which are the coaches.

Well, Beckham also had the most targets in his career in 2016. To go along with his worst catch %. And the offense stunk. OBJ did have production though. I mean you can over feed a player and while they might still have individual numbers….it’s not actually good offense. A variation of is over feeding CMC. And it makes CMC a good fantasy player but our offense isn’t actually good. To me, that is what the Giants became.

Rodgers was already a Pro Bowler, All Pro and Super Bowl champ before McAdoo got there… I could be Rodgers’ QB coach. Just like I could be Tom Brady’s. You basically just stay out of their way. And not be kryptonite to fug them up.

Rhule was a Tepper, Marty and Drummond hire.

2016 - 26th in points 2017 - 31st in points his teams got worse. He was the play caller on those horrible ones too. And his teams always sucked at running the ball…..which goes against the Rhule narrative that he is the key to a physical running team emerging. his teams lobbed it for Odell and that got figured out. Then he got fired.

Ben was the OC play caller the majority of the time he was the HC in NY. And his teams really stunk on O once the league got accustomed to Beckham Jr.

As a OC he had a weak ground game that got the ball to freak talent Odell. he still largely called the O when he was a HC. Opponents figured out his “offense” of going to Odell…..and his offenses stunk.

Well, we hired a guy who teams were below average running it as an OC and also below average running it as a HC

Well let’s hope a decent reporter asks him a about when he called Darnold garbage with bad throwing mechanics that he wouldn’t want to bother with…. well, I’d prefer they ask Rhule that. Not Ben.

What we were promised what we got

Adam Gase won more than 5 games in each of his first 4 seasons as a HC. Only hear he didn’t was when a NFL front office attempted to tank for Trevor. Matt Rhule has earned the ability to be viewed as better than Urban and Petrino. That’s it. Gase is a better coach.

It’s just fun. Fun is nice. She did a good job. What wrong with giving her props. we certainly had a lot of threads here that clearly demonstrated the collective fan base enjoyed the work. I mean it doesn’t impact what what happens on Sunday but….what’s wrong with acknowledging she did a good job? And brought some folks a little entertainment. Maybe Matt Rhule should talk to her.

Could be. Rhule probably sees what a walking dead coach has to choose from and is going into PR mode. this ain’t 2020. When it was an attractive gig.

1000%. it might just be 2021 Mick Jagger at the Thirty Beaver type of rockstar but….

Mike Shula’s window as OC was the most successful window in franchise history too. not saying that was all because of him. But it’s hard to call him the worst we have had. Shula wasn’t exciting…..but we won. Maybe that was because of him or despite of him. Probably somewhere in the middle. But we had the best win % under Shula vs all the other OCs.

There have LITERALLY been countless threads over the years made here….about the awesome things her social media department has done. Definitely thread worthy. Especially in the off-season. Which we are in….because the only thing well run in Carolina of late has been our social media team.

Well, she was really good at her job. Carolina had one of the best social media departments in all of professional sports under her.

Well that was what a quick google search said and it might be wrong. but even if Chip Kelly was the highest paid OC in the NFL…..it’s a paycut from his UCLA gig. Job demotion. And loss of job security.

He is literally a .500 QB. Cousins doesn’t have “it”. All things being equal in terms of cost, I’d always prefer to roll with a lesser talented Jake type that is a gamer/gunslinger over what Cousins is.

If you are looking at offensive talent surrounding the QB….present day Vikings are going to edge out some of those Dallas rosters Romo had. Minny got a crazy good trio right now at RB/WR/WR.

Kelly is making 5 mill a year Joe Brady made 400k. Someone like Leftwich makes like 800k. I mean I would by totally fine with Kelly as OC. But for Rhule to even put feelers out to see if Kelly would like to take a massive demotion to come be part of a staff that essentially all will be lame ducks says something about what little is going on in that brain of Rhule’s.
