Cam wasn’t just talking about young players though. Cam was talking about everyone. Non-players too. Cam just highlights we have a college staff. This off-season really highlighted how the staff aren’t up to speed IMO too. I guess that is to be expected in their first real offseason. But Cam and Teddy IMO both hit the same notes overall. The staff isn’t up to par in Carolina. And veteran guys see it.

Cam’s bar for people is higher than Rhule’s.

That’s Matt Rhule telling folks inside he is still in power and looks out for “his guys”. Why else would PJ be the first one. And it’s a pretty sore subject position.

I mean, Person just wrote a pretty damning article with 20 sources inside Carolina. Cam today basically said from top to bottom they ain’t got the right people in the building right now. But players know Rhule has a big contract so there is only so much they can say. They got to stay employed on a profession that has a tiny window.

He is saying too high of a percentage of players, coaches and front office people don’t actually care enough about winning in Carolina.

I think DJ is like a Adam Thielen. He could be a #1. Just a total package WR that can do it all well. But you would like to throw a Jefferson type threat on the other side.

So like….all the important stuff

I really like DJ. But I’d trade him. We have no OL, QB or HC. He is wasting his time here.

his paycheck is irrelevant in this convo again, it’s a people business. Evidence is all over life. Your life. My life. Everyones. You either get that concept or you don’t. Ron and Matt own a bank….all things being equal I’m working for Ron. And I’m only work for Rhule for a poo ton more in cash. That’s it. I’ll take slightly less to work for Ron. That’s life.

I mean he is. Big picture Cam Newton is the Panther GOAT. Luke and Peppers are probably the two best actual football players. but Cam did things they couldn’t. He was the face of the franchise in a manner no one even comes close to. Cam is Carolina in a way no one comes close to.

They probably will keep Sheena and Person out. They are about the only two these days that ask legit stuff.

Treating people poorly and being low character….impacts plenty. Especially when you are in the business of managing people and bringing them in (which is football). so yeah, I’d say having someone like Rhule matters in terms of winning long term. it will impact coaches and players willing to come here. People see Joe Brady. They see Cam. They see his pressers. Matt Rhule isn’t where you want to be.

I’ve always said the team was just an investment and ego play for Tepper and it’s why I won’t buy seats for football or soccer until that changes

Wasn’t about the money to Cam or us. Cam didn’t come here for that nor did that money matter to us. the people business matters. You do that poorly….and you aren’t going to be successful in the long run. you can brush it off. But if you want Carolina to be good you should care. It was the early sign of Gettlemen being a train wreck and Rhule has told you clearly now too.

David Tepper needs to bring his brass balls and answer questions about why he is driving this franchise into the ground with this clown show no one has any interest in hearing Rhule’s bullshit.

Players in Jacksonville also were quiet while Urban was still in power. It isn’t surprising. Same applies to literally almost every situation. They have jobs and careers. They can’t speak out and when asked they are going to say supportive things. They want contracts and job security.

Sam had 20 fumbles in 27 games at USC. he has been working on it his entire football career and gotten nowhere with it

Yes. They brought him back for a farewell tour…. and then didn’t give him or us that. That’s kinda the point. They brought him back and sat him for Sam Darnold the moment they could. Which is again the point. Generally franchises treat GOATs better. Which is why Cam should be done with us. No argument is made he is still great or should be in our plans. But Rhule did the Panther GOAT poorly twice. Both were avoidable. The people business matters. Even in the NFL. And it’s how you know Rhule shouldn’t be here.

Cam deserved better. Both times. I won’t blame Cam when retires if he pulls an 89. And is done with this franchise while certain people are still employed here

Sam’s been working on that since USC. His inability to hold onto the ball isn’t something he can fix. He would have done it 5 years ago if he could fix it.

Flores at Miami is out

lol. Everyone out there quoting DB Jackson praising Rhule. but they aren’t referencing the fact he is looking to sign a big deal. Like that isn’t relevant.

Nagy out Zimmer out

I don’t buy Rhule having all the power. Think Fitt is clearly unqualified to be the rebuilding GM. can take a job and then be willing to sign off on all that nonsense as GM. Fitt isn’t the GM then. Rhule is. And that makes Fitt pointless too.
