I mean to be fair, a lot of teams passed on those guys. The real crime has been not drafting an offensive lineman in the first round since 2008. That’s probably the longest stretch for any team in the league.

Even during down years, I always would get excited come Sunday to watch the Panthers play. Whether it is to watch how certain players are progressing when we’re bad or watching nervously to see if we can keep a win streak going during our playoff seasons. Yesterday there was nothing. Matt Rhule and Co have killed any interest I have in this team for the first time in my 31 years of life. When we were bad in the 90s I was a kid and just liked to watch football. In the 2000s we had guys like Steve Smith who always made any game worth watching. Even in 2010 with a lame duck John Fox, we were all wondering who the next coach would be. Would we win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes? Once the Panthers were inevitably awarded the number 1 pick Luck said fug the Panthers and went back to Stanford. But that brought us Cam, and then Luke, and the wild ride that was the 2010s. Now here we are nearing the end of 2021 and there’s nothing. Absolutely nothing to look forward to except the possibility of Matt Rhule getting fired. David Tepper needs to do some serious evaluating because his team, the team we all love, is currently dead in the water with no recognizable future on the horizon.

I bet you Derrick Brown stiffs his waitresses and bartenders when he goes out.

Jake Delhomme. He’s been great on the radio broadcasts. He is constantly calling out the coaching especially on offense for doing dumb poo drive after drive. He always breaks down what he would have done differently and why what Brady was doing wasn’t working. Mixon still sucks but it’s worth listening to for Jake.

Hearing about what it takes and what some coaches are willing to do in the NCAA to win a championship, it doesn’t surprise me one bit that most of these coaches are total scumbag, piece of poo, unethical human garbage. I guess there is a certain amount of millions of dollars that clears you conscious from the fact that you exploit children that are trying to better themselves for a living.

If that were Rhule he would have talked about how great Cunningham is playing and how he’s really been stepping up to help the team in this tough situation only to cut his ass the next day. Just two bad coaches coaching bad teams who probably should have never been hired as head coaches to begin with. Gotta love the NFL.

I'd be fine with moving Terry or Gordon if it was for a Sabonis or Jarrett Allen caliber center. Not Myles Turner.

Yeah he is a legit all star big man who would be worthy of the Pacers crazy demands. Also PJ is like the perfect fit at the 4 next to him. The Pacers keeping Turner because they overvalue him instead of trying to find a better fit next to Sabonis and properly building around him has hindered their team for 2+ seasons now.

Just wanted to add team chemistry is at an all time high with this team. Listen to any interview with the players recently and they all talk about how that has been the key to their success this season. I'd be very hesitant to mess with that.

I also respect yours but the guy isn't anywhere close to being one of the best defensive centers in the league. He is a great shot blocker but he gets taken to school more times than not against skilled centers. He just got worked the other night by Daniel Gafford ffs. Also there's a reason his rebounding numbers suck.

Yeah and I hope we are not willing to overpay just because the Pacers think he is worth more than he actually is. He's been on the block forever because other teams aren't dumb enough to give up what the Pacers want. It's a two way road. His actual value is pretty much a Player of PJ's caliber, who is trending to be about on par with Turner's current skill level and a pick since Turner is a 7footer. Pacers on the other hand are acting like the guys is a 5 time All-Star.

Good lord some of you are severely overvaluing Myles Turner. The guy plays 30+ minutes a game and can't even average a double double and he's 7 feet tall. He has like 10+ games this season where he didn't even grab 5 rebounds and that is currently one of our biggest weaknesses. He's also terrible on the offensive glass.

No way in hell I'm giving them Terry and a first. If we're talking Terry and a first Sabonis better be involved in that conversation.

No chance I trade a player of Gordon’s caliber for Myles Turner. Even with his bloated contract. He is too important to this young team currently. If we are talking Sabonis, that’s a completely different conversation. Myles Turner is basically PJ if he was 4 to 5 inches taller. PJ is sacrificing stats to help the team currently. He’s clearly not a five and isn’t as good as Bridges who’s taken control of the starting 4 spot. PJ fits really well next to Sabonis on the Pacers and Turner is a much better fit at the 5 for the Hornets. PJ + Plumlee/Mcdaniels and a first is about all I’d be willing to give up for Turner and that’s just because decent 7footers are way more valuable than 3 and D stretch 4s currently. Ideally I would have loved to get a guy like Jarrett Allen but unfortunately we couldn’t get involved last year to help facilitate the Harden trade.

All of that just screams terrible head coach with way too much power/control over a team. Rhule is literally our own Chip Kelly without the racism.

I was about to say the exact same thing. If this is being asked in a serious manner I'd really have to question whether or not you're actually watching / paying attention to the Panthers. Of course there were frustrations in Rivera's first few seasons but the team actually improved each year. Rivera's teams progressed and got better as the season went on. Rhule's teams have had decent starts the first quarter of the season against weak teams and then proceed to regress to utter dog poo. Back to back seasons with terrible 5 game losing streaks after being over .500. That is not the sign of a good coach.

20 shots for Embiid - 14 FT attempts. 19 shots for Hayward - 1 FT attempt. Officials weren’t even trying to hide it.

Gordon Hayward went to the free throw line one fuging time tonight on an and one call. He was getting mugged all night and it has been happening all season long. Literally 2 or 3 of those fouls get called and the Hornets win the game. Absolutely criminal.

The WFT loss I believe was the nail in the coffin. With all of the Cam home coming stuff, the fact that game would have put us over .500 and back into the thick of the playoff race, Rhule fell flat on his face. I’m sure Tepper was beyond pissed. Then to follow it up by getting bitch slapped by the Dolphins essentially killing any hopes at a playoff birth all but sealed Rhule’s fate. The classic influx of players to IR and the firing of Brady is just Rhule scrambling to make excuses to try and save his ass. Unless he somehow manages to win out and make the playoffs I’m sure he will be fired come black Monday.

Well money is the motivating factor in college and the pros. If the players are already getting paid proportionately to the amount of money they bring to their respected programs and the NCAA it may not be as easy to bribe a broken kid trying to help his family. College tuition keeps going up and schools say it’s because they can’t afford professors and basic necessities for a university but their athletic programs can give coaches 100 million dollar contracts. This kind of bs should be illegal.

Just think about it, a bunch of middle aged millionaire men fighting over a bunch of teenage boys begging them to play football for them. Same goes for college basketball. The NCAA is disgusting. It’s not fair to the student athletes. “We’ve got someone here who will buy your mom a new car and pay her rent as long as you come play ball for us!” Just pay the fuging players already it make it fair for everyone.

If said system is frustrating players to the point of mental lapses / not caring / giving up on the coaching staff it will cause those things. A lot of those things can be looked at as business decisions and sometimes it may not be worth the extra hits or potential injury for a coaching staff you want gone. The last few weeks to me looks like a team that’s already thrown the towel in on the season.

I’ll roll with him as an expensive back up to finally have his cap completing the books in 2023. I don’t want Rhule and co pushing his cap hit down the road for a potential new coach to have to deal with. He was Rhule’s idea and Rhule needs to deal with the consequences of guaranteeing that 5th year.

Yeah all of those options suck ass. I'll roll with Cam and Darnold for another year and go all in on offensive line.

This guy broke the news of Riley to USC. I’d trust him over other random Twitter folk.
