I agree. I think it we didn't have such a brutal schedule this season I would expect us to at least come really close to the playoffs at worst. To do that this season we are definitely going to have to earn it by beating some really good teams.

If you have 5 tight ends, you actually have 0 tight ends.

Needing a position and there being a good value deal out there are two TOTALLY different things... just because you need a specific position doesnt mean a deal is there. This isnt madden.

The biggest problem is Chubba doesnt fit what we need now as a 3rd rb. Foreman is our power back. 3rd rb would mostly be needed if CMC went down and you cant have a 3rd rb with stone hands. You almost have to totally change the offense when hes in there.

Brandon Wegher hype!

I think he also won the farthest throw competition that day as well but I cant remember for sure. If he didn't he was up there with the furthest.

He also ruined his body and could barely throw by around 30 and started having nagging injuries regularly. Alpha doesnt have to have anything to do with size. Was jamarcus Russell an alpha? He fits your qualifications for the most part.

I will start. A couple of the regular spots I feel better about this season. Qb play I think will be average at worst which is a good step up and I feel good about our rb depth if/when CMC goes down. 1. The oline geling and their pass blocking specifically. On paper its much improved but it's a question mark for now. 2. Our dline in general. Can they get pressure besides Burns? We have the secondary to cover but how long will they be covering for? 3. How will our interior D line and lbs be stopping the run? 4. Our schedule is pretty brutal. Not many easy games on there at all outside of division games.

A lot of the mods are part of it unfortunately. If you dont add anything besides "rhule sucks" in every post then you are being blindly optimistic apparently.

Because literally every posts turns into the exact same people making the exact same post every time. Every post devolves into the exact same point being made (rhule sucks we get it) no matter what the original post is or if it has anything to do with Rhule in general. Not every single post has to turn into Rhule sucks. Its ridiculous at this point.

A forum is literally entirely made up of what other fans think. Nothing we say here affects the panthers as a team in any way. Its just a bunch of fans discussing their opinions

It's crazy the amount of "fans" here who get mad about stuff like this.

The comment I was replying to was talking about how the first and second string has actually looked solid in the preseason. Also the players are playing and practicing with energy. Everything you hear coming out of the locker room is the players have bought in to the coaching. No matter how much people hate to hear it or spin it.

After the announcement Rhule said that changes how many qbs they had to keep on the roster. Aka only have to use 2 roster spots now instead of 3. He basically said today PJ is gone.

That's because half of the huddle doesnt care about facts. They dont like Rhule so they ignore anything they cant spin into a hypothetical negative against him. The worst part is winning wouldnt even change a lot of their minds because they would rather just be right.

They want the team to play all the starters so Corral can get reps with them and never actually play a game this season as the would have been third string QB. On a positive note we only have to carry two qbs on the active roster this time.

People blaming the coach for a player getting injured now. Huddle gonna huddle.

He wasn't ready, that was clear. He needed more time to sit back and learn. Even though this was more of a fluke injury, injuries were also a concern and more time in the weight room and to know the playbook were obviously needed. He wasnt the great qb immediately that some fans had delusionally hoped he would be. No coaching from any coach would have changed that in a couple weeks.

I like how literally everything that has happened so far has shown Rhule's handling of Corral was correct, and still its turned into a way to bash him. Corral wasnt where we as fans hoped he would be right now and it's as simple as that.

Belechick didnt really play any starters last week I dont think.

I think I saw theyve said they are going to alternate quarters so he should get plenty of run. Hopefully he settles in with time this game.

Its because they need to evaluate the entire offense, not just the qb. The offense as a whole runs much smoother with PJ back there. As we've seen. I understand that Corral is #4 on the depth chart but #1 in our hearts, but still. This isnt just about Corral right now.

Pot meet kettle. No one is saying Rhule hasn't made mistakes. Anyone new to a job does. I'm not even sold on him. I'm 50/50 if hes the answer or not, it's sad how much this place makes people need to defend him with their bs takes. First time coaches with no experience are going to make mistakes, that is known at hiring. The question is do they learn from them. So far it does look like there is a chance he is learning from them. He inherited a 5 win team that had Kuechly and CMC for 16 games. It was one of the oldest in the nfl and in cap hell. Now it is one of the youngest, in much better situation as far as the cap goes and has much more talent and less holes overall. It's been 2 seasons and he started with no experience and in a complete rebuild. People need to stop acting like they already know everything about the head coach already.

I dont think you fire a first time head coach for the over hyped oc he picked immediately after getting the job. Unless he picked someone from Baylor or Temple he didnt really have any nfl connections or picks for oc that he would have known would work out any better. I also think Tepper saw all the hype Brady was getting after the LSU season and how so many teams wanted him apparently and helped steer things in that direction as well.

Pickett and Corral arent comparable. Pickett was literally the only qb scouts thought could possibly legitimately start a game this season and be ready for it. He just has an incredibly low ceiling but the highest floor.
