  1. I think we will be picking 7-10. Mahomes was an anomaly, but please keep using him as an example and I'll start to use Tom Brady why it's wise to draft your franchise QB in the 6th round. Normally that range of QB flops. Which gets me to.... that range of QB normally flops. Talk about moving goal posts, just because the top guy in this draft may be say selection #10, does not mean he'll be equivalent to Trevor Lawrence or Kyler Murray due to the talent spectrum shifting to the lower end of the scale where we pick. First QB off the board does not equate to first pick overall which those guys were. Just because our pick may line up with first QB slated off the board does not mean that QB is worth the risk.
  2. Dumb thread. Rivera finished 5-of-6 that year. Rhule ?-of-5 to finish the year. Lucky to be 2. Ron's club was competitive and had moxie. Rhule's club, I get the feeling they are already booking vacations.
  3. Biggest difference: Rivera started out weak and typically finished strong and vying for the playofffs. Rhule beats a few doormat teams out of the gate and then packs it in for the year while watching other teams leapfrog us into the wildcard race as we look like a fish flopping out of water.
  4. Rhule just seems lost and in over his head. Rivera seemed to come up just short. While I was pissed at Rivera during that time, I never called for his job. Rhule should have never left college.
  5. Cherry picking at it's finest. Mahomes was #10, so thus a top 10 pick, Watson was #12, so nearly a to 10. Rogers was a fluke slide and Jackson had a bunch of question marks . Again, if you want to spend the only pick we have in the top 100 on a suspect QB, then that's on you my friend. Cherry pick the scenario that fits your narrative all you want, its not going to change the fact this this a SUBPAR QB CLASS.
  6. Anyone for Bill O'Brian stripped of GM duties?
  7. Shoulda kept Beurelien too, but he had to put his stamp on the franchise with one of his guys...Jeff Lewis, lol! What a joke!
  8. Should I root for the Falcons Sunday? I mean it would feel as weird as giving your grandmother a tongue kiss, but if it means getting rid of Rhule? Eh???????????????
  9. Like sands through an hourglass, this is the days of our lives.... uh, reality of being a Panthers fan. Crap couldn't possibly get more dramatic, could it?
  10. Do NOT twist my words. I said none of them are top 10 talent, maybe one will eventually break the top10. Corral being the most likely. Not being a top 10 talent does not mean there is not first round talent. However, if you are settling on mid-first round talent as your franchise QB, then you are REALLY rolling the dice. Only a draft novice wouldn't know the difference.
  11. Herbert was always a top 10 pick in most respected circles; top 5 as the draft drew nearer. Some had him going ahead of Tua and others didn't. I wasn't the biggest Herbert fan either, but I knew he was a top 10 pick. Murray had the talent, his size was his biggest, and frankly only real knock. Yeah, just about everyone whiffed on Mahomes. How often does a Mahomes-type prospect come around though? Again, this 2022 class in one the weaker ones for QB in recent memory. Reaching out of need...ESPECIALLY for a make or break position like QB is organizational suicide. Anyways carry on, sorry I interrupted y'alls QB pipe dream.
  12. Lol, I know right? Talk about reaching for a need.
  13. Except this year's QB crop is subpar. None of these QBs could hold those dude's jock straps. Wishing for a franchise QB isn't going to make it so. If we had a shot at a Burrow/Herbert/Murray prospect, then sure. Please tell which of these guys are going to be anywhere close to those three? My favorite draft site doesn't have ANY QB in the 2022 class in his top 10....NONE.
  14. Not this quick. Gruden has to rebuild his reputation and that is going to take a few years. I don't think Rhule has that long. Hopefully the next HC does well enough that he won't need to be replaced for a long time.
  15. Guys, Brady can't take the playbook with him. It's just someone else is going to be calling the plays from the same playbook. The plays themselves weren't necessarily the problem, it was what plays were being called at what time was the main issue with Joe.
  16. Any former notable NFL coaches in the college ranks that would be willing to make their way back to the NFL? I'm not taking about quality control-types or assistants to assistant coaches. I'm talking like Pete Carroll when he left college to come back to the NFL to take the Seahawk's gig. I'm a causal college football guy until draft season, so I'm not fully up on the college coaching landscape other than what's in the headlines.
  17. Also, ZERO comp picks this draft as well. The Panthers drafting a rookie QB this year is along the logic of a house burning down and the homeowner starts mowing the grass to keep up the curb appeal. The devastation is so blatantly obvious, but doing this one thing might put a little shine on that turd,
  18. I can't believe this thread is still going on considering we only have 1 pick on the first two days, in a weak QB class and an OL that smells of rotten garbage. Sure, let's keep talking about drafting a rookie QB! I get the Howell homers getting the fuzzies about the thought of drafting him, but it's not going to happen.
  19. We could only hope. The Falcons, while still losing, have been competitive of late. We rarely sweep them and I think a home loss to to a sub-.500 team should be the final straw. Plus, firing Rhule this early gives us a leg up in the next search. Waiting until the end of the season puts us in the same pool as all the other teams needing head coaches. My worry is we actually beat the Falcons and Rhule gets a life line that needlessly prolongs his tenure. My two biggest wants right now is Rhule gone and the highest draft position we can get. Losing out accomplishes both. A meaningless win or two screws up one, possibly both of those.
  20. Inside is easier to fix than outside. Guards are a dime a dozen, franchise left tackles aren't. Get the LT and C then some decent guards and the OL is fixed.
  21. So the only way to move up in the division is not play, therefore, we can't lose?
  22. This was a .500 team on average, the non-winning seasons were generally 7-9 and at least competitive. Take out Fox's lame duck season backed by Rivera's rookie year and this was a decent franchise, no fewer that 7 wins. We'll be lucky to get 7 wins this year. I was never a Marty fan, 1.0 or 2.0, but I seriously doubt Richardson would have kept Marty around if the wheels came completely off, say, like scenario we are in right now.
