Corral has to know the Gilligan look doesn't help his case. And after ota's and mini camp and he's no better than Darnold. T hat certainly gives one pause, but if we or any organization are looking for a real field general in the 3rd round, then I would suggest that water testing in the corporate facilities should commence immediately. And yes, I am well aware that the GOAT was drafted in the 6th round. He's a generational anomaly.

So was Joe Namath.

Sadly, the Panthers are quickly becoming both the armpit and the a--crack of the nfl. You know the monikers once reserved for Oakland and Cleveland.

Since this is the thread about nothing, all we need now is Seinfeld and cohorts to sign in and really make it about nothing kind of like the forthcoming season.

The 49ers this week were talking about trying to talk the Panthers into an even trade of Darnold for Jimmy G. I'd take that trade even with Jimmy's surgery. Push the eject button on PJ Walker, re-sign Cam for 1 yr, and either draft Willis in round 1 or make the OL and skill positions the focal point of our limited draft options.

Yes! And as the FA period continues, the players the team is signing are mostly cringe-worthy afterthoughts as if Rhule, Tepper, and Fritterer are purposefully trying to tank this team either to lower its value on the market so that Tepper can thin out his liabilities (reference the construction on the new training facilities that came to a sudden halt) or to make it so we end up with a top 3 draft pick next year. Irregardless, this team lacks talent, motivation, commitment (no surprise) from the top-down. The fans, the city of Charlotte, and the veteran players deserve better.

Okay, for arguments sake I'm just gonna toss this name out there in flames...Minshew. He's sitting up there in Philly on his self promotion tour eating cheese steaks and hugging family... let's trade Darnold and PJ Walker for Minshew and draft a QB from this mediocre class and work on the grooming. But for cripes sake, whoever is under center needs a competent OL or all of this discourse is for naught!

We could always tank the next few seasons, which given past and present performances under the Tepper/Rhule ineptitude tour isn't a problem...and snag the newest evolution of the Manning family who could enter the draft as early as 2024, if my math is correct? Or like others have said, stay the course with Darnold since we've already tossed our saddle onto that very very broken colt and all be happy spectators of Rhule's farewell tour. I despise the ethics (and please know my above tanking suggestion was offered in jest), but this is the NFL after all and considering the ownership, I wouldn't put it past Tepper to be aiming for the Manning kid as he has yet to even go to his first prom! Whatever these motley fools cook up, it's most likely to be a painful experience for everyone, especially the players.

We all know that crap rolls down hill and Tepper is the king of this dung heap organization. He has set the table for this impending disaster. Keeping Rhule, PJ Walker and Darnold are indicative of what the team and fan base have to look forward to...the definition of insanity and gross ineptitude.

G-Rhule stays for year 3...um...what QB? We don't have one thanks to G-Rhule. We also don't have an OC or an OL for that matter! Watching the Panthers play on Sunday is like using a kaleidescope to pinpoint a location on a map. If this nonsense is allowed to continue into a 3rd year, the fan base will begin emptying seats simply because this fan base has suffered long enough.

G-Rhule is half a ham samich, a bar in Ohio filled with inebriated revellers and a moment's indiscretion caught on camera away from being the Carolina version of Jacksonville's Urban Decay...

He was flipping through that book of America's Most Wanted which should make them the NFL's Least Wanted but obviously the Panthers' and Jags' Most Wanted. Neither organization can seem to get much of anything right starting from the top.

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/12/panthers-plan-to-give-hc-matt-rhule-another-year For the love of God, Panther fans can't take another year of quarterback roulette, play calling roulette, etc. The ONLY fan base in worse shape from a purely coaching competency standard would be our neighbors to the south in Florida. Sorry, Jacksonville!

Tepper is about to have a come to Jesus meeting with his investors otherwise known as his season ticket holders and high priced suite swans who wine and dine corporate America when we lose to a 1-5 team.

I rarely ever see our WRs or TEs break from their routes if they see the QB in trouble to comeback to help him out. Kelce, Adams, Gronk, Hopkins, Kittle and etc will. And McCaffrey will. All of the aforementioned are high caliber players. Our receiving core is fair. It could be fantastic but we have poor pass protection and questionable play calling. We can hardly expect anything more than a stop-gap measure from Darnold when he has no O-line to protect him so he can do his damn job. No QB could hardly expected to be successful with our non-offensive line.

Knowing the luck of the franchise, it would be McCaffrey. In return we'd get smoke and mirrors, a nice song and dance, but at the end of the fancy production number we'd be in bed with Houston one way or another.

Pantherclaw, I absolutely agree and I see that my post didn't address that aspect at all. Rhule is all about conservative, predictable play these days and none of that will fool aggressive defenses or inspire break-out offenses. My main point centers on the failure of the offensive line to consistently protect Darnold thus hampering his ability to execute any given offensive scheme.

How much can Darnold be expected to accomplish when the O-line collapses by the time ball is snapped? I appreciate the organization spending money to bolster our defense but working on all elements of the game is what's needed. And let's face it, Tepper wants a hotrod under center and right now folks we have the eco-friendly Prius. It didn't take long for the tide to change in Charlotte against Darnold, but he never really had an O-line to work with that would help him find true success. Just another case of fool's gold for Darnold.
