Yeah. If you don't mind, please take it to the other three threads. Lots of opinions shared on this. Horn didn't dress, so he's not playing.

Well we have our answer. Some ones might play means no 1s will play just as Zod posted.

Yeah. I would hope that wouldn't happen. That would be an embarrassment.

Makin the nachos man just for the fam.

We made it. I can't believe we made it. Lets goooooooooo!

If Rhule had control then why did Tepper fire Hurney saying that he didn't?

Tomorrow! Finally.

Are you saying because ESPN didn't quote Marty Hurney for an artcile that the General Manager wasn't involved in the hiring of the team's QB? Ok? Huh? Why is your profile pick a Steelers SB ring?

I have to admit. I held my nose as I pied that. McDaniels? After Rhule, wasn't he the next interview. I forget. Whew. I would not have been happy with McDaniels. I get why you wanted him tho. Yeah me too. I love the analogy. Yup. The rest will come around when we start winning.

Your and my uninformed opinion doesn't matter. All that matters is Tepper's. Tepper said: "So to not have a head coach with some input into that is stupid." Sounds like Tepper thinks that Rhule didn't have some input into that, and fired Hurney. The upside is if he goes "Tannehill" as you say and we start winning. Are you saying that you wouldn't want Darnold if he went "Tannehill" because he's not at the beginning of a rookie contract?

Yeah Rhule was a pleasant surprise. I was not excited about a college coach. I wanted Bieniemy. But then, going for it on 4th down, 2 successful fake punts just a week apart, slow walking d linemen substitutions to force timeouts..... that oline should NOT have been middle of the pack and the growth in the young D was outstanding. All without a preseason in the middle of pandemic. People can look at the record last year as minus, but I'm not sure what they were expecting. IMO Rhule did not lose chips with Tepper last year. He gained them, and cashed some in to push Marty out. And for that move alone, I will forever be grateful.

I guess Tepper didn't get that memo.

I hadn't heard that. Link? Maybe. We'll see.

I agree. The drum beat for firing Rhule is banging awful loud after one season....a season where we were more competitive than many anticipated. Tepper was so pleased he fired Hurney because Marty wouldn't listen to Rhule. I know there are lot of butthurt people who didn't get the players they wanted in the offseason, but lets have this discussion when we know our record, rather than assuming or hoping that we suck.

First, it was 5-11 to 5-11. Second, Tepper felt Rhule didn't even have some input Hurney's financial and staff decisions. When Tepper fired Hurney, the reason was because he didn't listen to Rhule: "You look at successful organizations, and there's a certain alignment between the head coach and the GM," Tepper said. "To think that you can do that without some sort of alignment is nuts. So to not have a head coach with some input into that is stupid." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30572361/carolina-panthers-part-ways-gm-marty-hurney Third, the deadline to exercise Darnold's 5th year option was May 3rd 2021. He would be more expensive if we didn't. Darnold's cap hit this year is 4.7M and next year 18.8. That's a starting QB for about 12M a year. 21 fifth-year options picked up for 2018 first-round picks - ProFootballTalk (nbcsports.com) Fourth, we are currently sitting on 24M in cap space. Money is not why we are not investing further into the offensive line.

Why are you ripping on the Panthers QB? Its like you're not even a fan.

I think his point was that the Fields conversation shows up on a LOT of threads. It just does.
