Jackie Lee

He basically retired when he left the Lions so this is odd. Rhule is definitely down to everyones spare parts assembling this random coaching staff. No rhyme or reason to any of it really

I hope not, in every Panthers interview he sounds like someone who should be an assistant at the NFL level

Sounds like elder abuse having him outside at training camp

So Rhule's options are limited to young inexperienced college guys or dinosaurs. This seems like a "Finally found a guy to say yes" signing.

Then again I'd leave Rhule for Tomlin in a heartbeat lol

Interesting he'd take a job at a place that also has no idea who their QB is going to be next year. Must be a Mcadoo thing

Yup so much for his "program building". Any loser can gamble on random free agents and throw them under the bus when they don't work out.

Or he's so sidetracked by Soccer he doesn't even give a poo. He'll wait til the stadium is empty

I'm pretty sure no one is going through the trouble of adding a feather symbol to the word indian when you can just say native american lol. Welcome to the 2000's. The only reason the term indian was ever used is because Columbus' dumbass thought he was in India

His agent would be like Don't fuging Do That!!! All this hypothetical free agency stuff with QB's and O-line is not realistic. No one is coming here unless it's their last option, until Rhule is gone

He's at the least smart enough to realize he's a great backup to Josh Allen, could eventually step in and be a Nick Foles level guy. Those Kinda guys aren't gonna blow that by being one and done for Rhule.

Yup, he fumbled two snaps in one rainy practice last week.

Yeah I really doubt Belichick was planning on him being anything besides a place holder at the position. He pretty much drafts a qb every two years, unlike the Panthers who prefer to try and fix other teams busts

Totally agree, I left out the 2019/Burns year because there weren't any QB's worth taking, same as this year unless we had a 2nd/3rd rnd pick and you wanted a long term backup/developmental guy for cheap.

Yeah don't agree with their trade up logic for Lance, but for us..We took CMC over Mahommes/Watson, DJ Moore over Lamar Jackson, YGM over Jalen Hurts(2nd round). All of those were worth the gamble instead of the safer pick and wouldn't have set us back any more than we already are from churning through other teams castaway QB's since 2018

This a usually optimistic objective guy's opinion on the state of the Panthers and he pretty much nails it.

If only to find another excuse to convince Tepper to give him another couple years. It's blatant at this point, Rhule doesn't have a process besides grifting until the well runs dry and then moving on to the next sucker. I don't like having an incompetent HC in over his head trying to save his job by any means necessary with an owner giving him extra leash to hope it somehow works out, too much gambling and no structure

It's our only pick until the 4th round due to a bunch of gambles and trades Rhule seemed for the most part to be in control of. People are upset because we should be in year 3 of the rebuild and ready to take over the NFC South with Sean Payton and Tom Brady gone, the Falcons being in denial of their need to blow things up and start a rebuild. Instead we've been running in circles and basically looking like needing to do a full reset in 2023. It's more than just blowing one draft pick, it's possibly Rhule trying to save his job with another gamble to the detriment of the Panthers long term success

Yup, they both bailed on Temple after committing. Looking forward to the leadership qualities in these two guys next year

That's pretty much what I would do as well, but Rhule is so petty and insecure he probably sees Willis as someone who will potentially overshadow him.

Sure would be nice to have Fields ready to take over, $20m in extra cap space and the 2nd round pick back

Yup so I get the sense from that Walter thing that Rhule wanted Fitt because Hurney was probably too opionated in the draft, and judging by Rhules current trend of tossing guys out of the building that don't make him look good it sounds like he's gonna keep on scapegoating until Tepper moves on. Rhule said Joe Brady was his decision right? Either that or he ok'd it even though it took him out of his comfort zone of a full Baylor staff. Either way it's a bad look. I don't think when people were hyping Rhule up they were anticipating him just taking as many Baylor/Temple pieces he possibly could to fill out the players and staff. Or they didn't realize he doesn't have any relationships with NFL caliber coaches

I don't follow them much besides their free agent tracker, but it doesn't seem like they're generally in the drama business. I could be wrong though.

I dunno about exciting and young, not a good season til his 5th year. Only a year younger than Darnold. Now Willis yes, exciting and young that was mentored by Cam

And then we trade away our 25 year old 1st round qb bust (Pickett, not Darnold although basically the same age and bust factor) for like a 3rd or something. Sounds like the Panthers way
