Both are Matts and are alumni of Penn State. Plus, based on his stint as Lions GM, I'd say Millen is a horrible judge of talent. So there's that.

WFT was unique. Should've just rolled with it.

Can't believe Tepper actually listened to Marty Hurney's advice for three years. Marty fugin' Hurney! A GM whose biggest claim to fame was a grand total of 3 winning seasons in 15 years! I have to believe Tepper did zero research on the history of the Panthers organization prior to taking ownership. Probably did zero research on the Steelers organization as well. Between Tepper's opinions of Hurney and Tomlin, there is only one conclusion to be drawn: Dave is a terrible judge of football talent. Possibly the worst Panthers fans have ever known. How else would you explain Tepper taking three years before he finally fired Marty? Bonus Material: Matt Rhule's contract/Matt Rhule is still employed

I just assumed that's what he has been doing all along. I mean, look at the results so far. Tepper can't be paying experienced professionals and getting this sort of results, can he? Dave is due a refund if he is.

Meh, Bucs can bring their best, it won't matter. Rhule has a plan, a process if you will, that's 1000 percent working. He knows it, I know it, you know it! We just can't see it. Matt, Jay-Z's brother by another mother, has got this WIN in the bag!

How terrible are the Panthers? Glass Half Full: Not as bad as next year's team (w/Rhule as HC). OR Glass Half Empty: Not as bad as next year's team (w/Rhule as HC).

Tomlin is an integral part of an organization that hasn't had a misstep when it comes hiring a coach in over 50 years. He is supported by an experienced staff and management that understand what it takes to win. Steelers have a history of drafting well and letting veterans go when the cost of keeping them becomes detrimental to fielding a competitive team. They don't let sentiment cloud their judgement. Ironically, JR modeled the Panthers after the Steelers in the first few years of the franchise and then lost his way.

In one week Tepper can begin the process of turning this franchise around by firing Rhule. Let the healing begin.

I see no evidence that Tepper is planning on moving the franchise. What I do see is an new, overconfident owner, that doesn't understand the local culture or the value of surrounding himself with knowledgeable NFL executives.

If Tepper is actually embarrassed for signing Rhule to a 7 year contract (he should be), imagine how embarrassed Dave will be retaining the worst head coach in Panthers history for a third season of buffoonery and hijinks.

Cam has a million reasons to ride out the season.

Correct. That is why chances are good that Rhule will draft a QB w/the Panthers first pick.

At this rate Sam might learn his job before Matt does.

Tired of reading about Rhule throwing players under the bus. Next time I read about Matt and busses, it better be the one he is on, heading out of town for good.

Matt Rhule needs to be charged with abusive behavior for putting any QB behind this O-line and running his putrid offensive schemes.

Wonder if Dave Tepper is still considering keeping Rhule for a third year?

Our QB choices aren't anything to write home about, but even if they were, chances are they'd still look like trash running Rhule's scheme's behind the O-line he constructed. No matter how you slice it, this is Rhule's team, he has final say on the roster. TL/DR: Rhule needs to be fired next Monday.

Yes, our O-line sucks... the blame rests with the guy who is responsible for building it...

Might?

Vince Lombardi knew how to build an offensive line... Matt Rhule... not so much.

I don't know who still needs to hear this: Matt Rhule is in over his head. Matt Rhule is not the answer. He is the problem.

Panthers have been saving all their 3rd quarter points for today's game.

Exactly. NCAA needs to just move on.

Can't believe this is still a concern in 2022. College football (especially the SEC) is a farm league for the NFL. Let's get real, pay these players already and stop the charade.
