Panthers Rhule

I think it applies to Darnold as well.

I was reading a thread about Rhule and it reminded me of something I read from Coach Parcells who Coach Rhule often mentions. Rhule is obviously an admirer of Parcells and knowing how Parcells operated it makes it very clear to me that Rhule is following Parcells philosophy. Do you agree that he's doing this? Do you agree with this? etc. If people like this I will add more of Parcells' philosophies in future posts. I personally am a big fan of this. So, here's part 1. Integrity. Integrity: • Philosophy  The philosophy has a sound basic structure.  It reflects the leader’s vision and values.  It is communicated and accepted throughout the organization.  Most important, it remains in place long enough to allow for success.  When you act with integrity, in accordance with your organization’s core principles, you’re not taking a risk. You’re fulfilling your mission – and giving yourself the best possible chance to succeed. • Leaders have a vision  They can picture the desired result of a project before they begin  When an organization stays the course and holds fast to their philosophy, through good times and bad, they work from a firm foundation. They gain an identity. They stand for something.  In an unstable environment, it is especially vital for leaders to articulate their vision for the organization – clearly, explicitly, and often.  Every organization, whether it’s floundering or ruling the roost, needs a calm, clear vision. Only people inside the group can chart its course; outside voices must be kept in their place.  To enlist people to share their vision, leaders must be prepared to walk the walk. • People are the most important (components of a philosophy.)  Leaders must know what people are needed to implement a system.  Must have an eye to identify them when they surface.  Many systems collapse because people can’t recognize the parts you need to build the structure your after. (your philosophy will falter out of the gate)  Interview a prospective player….ask them what is most important (3 or 4)… football must be in that list.  Also want to know about family support system and his goals in life.  When matching people to roles in the organization, it’s not enough to weigh what they have done in the past. To get the right fit, it’s crucial to consider what they could do if the environment allowed them to flourish.

Sorry, I didn't see that post and maybe you're correct. However, I don't think anyone can say which or any of the QBs we could have drafted will be elite the same way we can't say if Darnold will become elite. But I think we can all agree that each one of them has the same possibility of becoming elite and our guy is the only one that gives us a legitimate chance to win now. Rhule and staff saw what almost no one else did at the time and now we have a 24 yr old QB who has as much chance of becoming an elite QB as any QB we could have drafted and has us 3-0 now. I honestly can't find any reason to fault that.

My name says it all. I was sold as soon as he gave his first speech to us. Do you guys remember that speech? I wanted to suit up and play for him.

So trying to trade for Watson or Stafford leaves you to question if he understands the importance of an elite QB? No offense intended but I honestly don't understand that assessment. By all accounts we were literally hours away from landing an Elite QB. It's not his fault if the guy wanted to win now with a team that had already proven it could win with an average QB.

This. I was going to say much the same thing. I believe his ceiling is higher than people think. He's 24. Hasn't played QB very long. Has never been properly coached and he's learning a new system. The progress he's made in such a short time with this staff plus is general attitude leads me to believe that he could become a very good QB in a couple of years.

I agree the sample size is small and the Eagles defense were giving up fewer points but I would say that some of Dallas' points were do to Philly simply falling apart but it is a good point. I also think that their style of offense plays into our strength. We haven't given up 50 yds running in a game yet and those short passes will be more difficult against us I predict because of the way when can crowd the line and hide our intentions. Those quick passes require that the QB can decide where the pass is going before the play begins based on what he sees. If he can't see where that quick lane is the he'll have to decide after the play starts which changes everything. That will mean he needs more than 2.5 secs to make the play. If he doesn't, they will be attacking lanes that might not be there.

Some interesting stats here I think, TB defense allows an average 29.2 pts per game and Dallas scored 29. Chargers 20 pts per game and Dallas scored 20. The exception was the Eagles 21pts and Dallas scored 35 offensively. We average 10 per game defensively. Dallas gives up 23 pts per game. Which should be close to what we average.

This isn't true. Some people do that to remember. Some people will look 1 way to remember and the other way when they want to lie but it depends on the person. Not all people are the same and there are many different things a person might do to indicate a lie.

Yeah but c'mon, Newton always asks dumb questions. If it was just this one time then I'd give him a pass but it's literally every fuggin time. He always asks these dumb questions like he's so smart and he0s got'cha but in reality players usually just blow him off.

Yes, Panthers are black and our Panther is black too. Are Eagles green? Are Lions blue? Some teams do go that route like the Cardinals and Bengals but it's in no way mandatory nor is it even the standard. So for me, Carolina is blue and panthers are black and what's wrong with that? Looks way better too. If our panther was blue then I'd agree with you but it's the right color.

That's actually a great example of my point about his delivery being slow. Watch when he makes the quick and correct read, the quick slant is there. Watch how long it takes him to get the ball out of his hand. By the time the ball gets there the defender has read the throw and jumps in from behind the WR to knock the ball down. As I said in my post, yes the play calling was bad and WRs were not wide open but there were times when completions were there and they got batted down. That's why Andy gets more completions in the same offense. He has to get the ball out quicker or that will continue to happen.

It's not what WE know it's what THEY know and THEY evaulated and met with him before last season's draft and our DB coach knows him well and in all THEY decided he was worth the trade even if they didn't want to trade Arnold so that is good enough for 98% of us these days. Everything has looked good so far so keep it rolling.

They are annoying I'd say but the worst? Nah. Eagles fans will kick the poo out of you like it's euro football.

Honestly? I dislike Philly more than Dally. Maybe it's only because I've stayed in Philly and I've never been to Dally but Philly sucks big dirty donkey balls. Probably Dally does too but I haven't witnessed it yet for myself. But also what Zod said. Let them get cocky before our game.

I found this reaction from a Jags fan. It's funny

Yes, for getting into the playoffs. What I love about things as they stand now, we are competing but it's still a rebuild!!! This roster already looks better than 80% of our rosters have when we weren't in a rebuild. Most just coast with what they have at this point of the season but not the New Panthers, oh no, they are still adding to the rebuild and not with overpaid vets on the decline but with young players who are actually adding to the rebuild. I can't believe we got Henderson for a 3rd today. Whether he pans out or not we'll have to see but either way this team deserves and A++ for effort if nothing else. For the first time ever, I'm not only excited for this season but I'm excited for the seasons to come. We have the foundation for a serious football organization.

That's true but they scouted him last year. They liked him. They brought him here for cheap. Based on what I've seen of their picks performances so far? I'm willing to trust their assessment of Henderson and I expect he will develop into a good player pretty quickly as that seems to be what they do here.

the Legion of Truth!!!

Yes! I thought about that too. He wanted a Man corner last year too I'm sure.

They want to play zone and he's a man corner

I don't know, That's what PFF says.

I read somewhere that it wasn't the dreaded foot injury. Can't remember the name of it. He should be fine.
