Quoting me twice in 15 minutes just to berate me because Facebook hurt your feelings and I don't conform to your standards of praising Matt Rhule but yeah I'm the triggered one.

This is revisionist history. I've seen each version of the huddle over the years going back to 2004 and John Fox and Ron Rivera absolutely got a lot of heat for various things including the positional coaches under them. Some people wanted Rivera shitcanned in his first season. This is in no way shape or form limited to Matt Rhule.

Excellent post. For all of Ron's faults he did at least quickly identify his starting QB and even had a serviceable backup for a number of years in Anderson. All of our criticisms the first couple of seasons centered around his in game management for the most part. But he didn't have full roster control and final say like Rhule does. If some gaffes on gameday were the only thing we had to gripe about with Matt there would be less negativity. But instead it's a full picture of failure. Yet some people just cannot fathom how there isn't a line of Panthers fans waiting to personally thank him for his time and get an autograph.

Now you're getting desperate. I'm sure just about anyone can confirm I'm not Carolina-Chuck lol.

Last year poundaway gradually went from optimist to deranged homer and looking to settle scores in every thread (sound familiar?) and finally just abandoned their account in December. Mods are probably just letting the inevitable play out. I'd love to make the playoffs but I wish I could say I have confidence in this offensive line depth for 17 weeks. It's a long season.

Of course it's over the top that's the good and bad of fan communities. But people bashed Rivera for things every single preseason too.

The main poster leading the charge is on their second stint in a year and clearly mentally ill.

Your complete lack of self awareness is comical thanks for that.

Why are we talking about what playoff teams are doing? We got swept by the vaunted NFCE last season and all you want to do is suck Rhule's dick.

You would be a Drumpfer.

Matt Rhule hasn't done much to help our franchise return to winning but he's certainly helped Igo keep the lights on with these threads about him. I guess that counts for something?

So terrible it's good. Rip Torn should have gotten a damn Oscar for that film.

Sounds like Shaq and CMC have about the same odds of making it through a full season healthy. Le sigh.

Already 7 posts by the same person. Not psychotic or anything though. Nope not at all. Totally sane.

Pretty much every place that has humans interacting with one another via screens looks like this. It's wired in us now. If it bothers someone that much they should throw their smartphone out and shack up in a remote cabin and live off the land.

You are either unconscionably aloof or clinically insane not to be able to spot the planetary sized hypocrisy in this statement

This is like joining Twitter and just shouting at everyone to stop bitching. Welcome to the internet in 2022.

Joe Brady has been out of the QC for almost a whole year but he's living rent free inside their head.

You're so far off the trail you're in outer space.

Well I'm just saying but the preseason overreaction thing with Panthers fans has been going on for years so yeah.

Haha now who is a hypocrite. This is why the huddle is quality entertainment.

If you want to say give him a chance because he's the head coach that's one thing. But if the main support of your argument is saying he can "coach" then you are expecting people to forget he is 3-9 in the division and watched his team get stomped by fired head coaches one of whom dumped on us with Daniel Jones.

That's more like it. Teddy was on a higher end contract but it wasn't something that was going to hurt us for years. He was mediocre but if Matt had not panicked we would not have backed ourselves into a corner forcing the Darnold situation. This is all due to his own impatience and after much talk of a slow process rebuild initially too. All we have gotten the last two years is double talk and bad decisions followed in some cases by what become even worse decisions. So if all of this is true the criticism should not bother you.

Ron was hated by the fanbase across all social media platforms. You have heard of Facebook and Twitter yes?
