Its what he does when he knows he's on the losing side. He goes immediately to arrogant snobbery.

This statement does not apply to OC and you know it. Ok. If it "happens all the time", name one. Name one current OC who's immediate previous position was a college coach, let alone a non-OC college coach.

Tha'ts what every team wants, a college coach in charge of the offense who needs to be coached up by those around him. Sound familiar? What's it like to be so self unaware? Rhule had actually been a HC before. Brady had NEVER been an OC ANYWHERE, let alone a good one. The Brady lovers are just making fools of themselves. Here let me help. It is possible for BOTH Rhule and Brady to suck. Brady doesn't have to be great for Rhule to look bad. Sam Darnold has that job covered.

The dog might have done better.

That losing Kuechly hurt our D? Seriously? Ohh I get it. Still Shltposting. I get it now.

You're wasting your time. In @CRA's mind Olson 2011=Olsen 2020 Cam 2011=Cam 2020 There's no reasoning with him. He just can't jive it with his sheer hatred for Rhule. For me its easy. Rhule can still suck. He doesn't have to start in as good a place as RR did. For CRA it is just another hill to die on like his insistence that Brady was "super talented". Poor RR and his #1 draft pick, Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, Deanglo Williams, Johnathan Stewart, Davis, Hardy, Johnson....

Mr Scot you are equating previous years record with the subsequent years starting talent... as if offseason changes don't matter. Its so simpleminded... its childish. Meanwhile in another thread, you're all excited that ESPN now has us in last place after the draft, when just a few weeks ago they had us several spots higher. How can this be? Last years record didn't change? So which is it? Did RR benefit from the #1 pick in the draft or not? Did Keuchly's retirement affect our D or not? Offseason changes have a dramatic affect on season outcomes and RR left this franchise in a total SHAMBLES after inheriting a roster LOADED with some of the best Panthers EVER. You're the one shlt-posting.

I'm not the mad one.

This is the post I replied to. Why list excuses for every team we beat?

Your post was a listing of excuses for every team we beat.

We had a lot of injuries last year. Do you think any teams beat us that wouldn't have without our injuries? Apparently all of their excuses are valid. Are ours?

As I reread this. It sounds like you'er making excuses for every team, but us.

You seem pretty confident we should have lost all of our games last year. How confident are you this year?

We ended up last. Preseason, ESPN had us 22nd http://www.espn.com/nfl/powerrankings/_/year/2010/week/0

The Huddle has largely gotten what it wanted in FA and the draft. Two excellent FA linemen, a potential franchise LT at pick 6, a rookie QB with a chance to start, and it looks like Sam will probably be the starter, at least day one...so Rhule will sink or swim with Sam...at least at first. For those hoping we crash and burn with Sam to fire Rhule and to get a high draft pick for a new QB, ESPN thinks we're well on our way.

Yeah, in reality its harder than it looks. Someone can dominate in practice and then stink it up on game day. Sometimes its a coin toss.

Not sure what you're saying. Fitt said the best player will play, so Fitt has more power? Sooo Fitt decides who plays now? How does this translate to who controls the roster? It was collaborative last year. Its collaborative this year. Rhule still has final say on the roster, and his contract hasn't changed. I don't see Fitt deciding who will play.

We were hyped early for sure. Its hard to tell what we really have. I'm more in the good defense camp because even with the drop off, we were still in the top 5 in several defensive measurements. I guess we'll see this year.

Yup. As bad as Robbie was last year, Thomas was worse. Robbie dropped 6.5% of his passes. Thomas dropped 13.3%. Thomas had a whole 188 yards last year in 17 games. 40 yards of that was in one pass at the end of the MN game. I really thought he would drop it.
