Can we pin this?

I guess. For us it doesn't matter what the "generally speaking historically" says. Tepper has decided Rhule is the coach this year. He blamed last year on CMC and Horn injuries and gave Rhule a mulligan. I want the Panthers to win, so I want Rhule to win. I also believe that it's possible we can win.

You're not wrong. He's only had one good year in that category. His int% was ranked 25th, 31st, 8th and 29th. Now that is not the case in the RZ. He has only had 3 RZ picks in his career, all in 2019.

I agree that Tecklenburg and Walker should not be in the 53. Tecklenburg wasn't on the roster in 20 and 21, he was waived and then PS. He only got pulled up when Paradis got hurt, played whole 131 snaps with a 65 pff. I would expect PJ ends up on the PS as well. We only started the season with 2 QB's last year and with Corral on IR, we should only carry 2 this year.

In the mean time you can watch me choose a mod's avatar. Any suggestions?

Believe what you like, CRA, I can draw you into to any thread just by hating on poor ol Joe-lost child-Brady. You're like obsessed.

I had other posts on the thread. The one you came rushing to was the one about your man crush, Joe Brady. You did the, "I know you are but what am I" routine with Brady and Rhule. Its fun to watch.

That was Phil Snow, then Rhule, then Fitt. I assume Tepper was included somewhere. I know. You're really really mad about that.

There are some legitimately great HC's on that list that are head and shoulders above Rhule. Others, meh. Some of the coaches were on their second stint as HC, others went to the playoffs without beating a single playoff team all season, one went to the playoffs with a losing record the first year. Some went to the playoffs their first year and haven't been back. One went the playoffs because he landed the GOAT who proceed to get him demoted. Apparently you were expecting playoffs last year. Sam made sure that wasn't going to happen. Here's to hope we make the playoffs this year, and you can then put Rhule on a list of coaches that took 3 years.

I knew you would come rushing to poor ol Joe Brady's aid. Are you going to turn this into another Joe Brady lovefest thread, once again trying to mask it with hatred for Rhule?

I agree. Brady should not have been an NFL OC and it was clear that he was a lost child. He did not know wtf he was doing and just blamed everyone around him. For some reason, running the same routes over and over worked for Burrow and Chase in college, but it didn't work for the Panthers in the pro's. Who would have thought? Brady is gone thank God.

We had just fired the OC, so of course we had to go hire one.

He's misinterpretting Teppers statement on hiring a rock star OC. In the end, Rhule hired McAdoo, Wilks, Tabor, and Campen when many on the huddle predicted that no one decent would want to come to Carolina.

But you think we are a borderline playoff team?

His posts are Chuck-like and they both use old-timey type names.

Just ignore him. The guy's a banned alt.

You're tilting at windmills dude. There weren't that many Rhule haters after year one. Getting Sam last year cost us 2-3 very winnable games and enraged the fan base. If we had won 7-8 games we could have shown improvement and the playoffs would look more realistic this year. Losing our best offensive weapon and 1st round draft pick to injury for most of the season is not considered an excuse in these parts. Now we are in a mode where anything bad is attributed to Rhule and everything good is attributed to anyone else. Wins are the only thing that will change the narrative. I hope we get some.

Aww. You have to share, what did SBBlue do to you? Did he embarrass you? You're like obsessed with him. We're you two an item or something?

Remember the absolute rage last year for us "babying" and "bubblewrapping" Sam?

...while claiming they are being "objective" or "realistic".

That happened in Washington. You'll get to see it again on Sept 11th.

And some are guys standing there screaming at the fiddlers about how mad they should be at the captain.

I keep hoping we're lying about our run focus. With Baker and DJ, Higgins and CMC as pass catching targets... I really hope we run something closer to what McAdoo ran in NY. It will throw off our opponents, preserve CMC and open it up so we can run.

I'm sure pats fans created a thread last week, raging that Belechek ran his 1's against our 2s. Let me check.... Nope, scratch that.

Rhule was given +300 odds, which is an implied probability of 25%, according to Thompson. Rivera's odds of being fired by Washington are +500, which is an implied probability of just over 16%.
