He was here before Fitts was hired correct?

Why did we not just promote him then? Is this going to be another Brandon Beane situation?

We may be the only team in the league dumb enough to think we need a running back instead of an offensive line to help keep our QB from getting annihilated every game.

Idk if that was supposed to be sarcasm but it’s mostly true. They did make a few signings and trades for some solid talent. (Reddick, Gilmore, Bouye, etc) Rhule spent and entire draft on defense and the only real stud to come from it was Jeremy Chinn. Horn was looking very promising but he went down early week 3. Derrick Brown is looking like he could move into bust territory based on draft position and the fact he’s being bench for what I’d assume are performance reasons. They added talent to what we already had but when the going gets tough they haven’t been able to utilize them properly.

These are the signs and sounds of a captain going down with his ship.

There is a ton of talent on defense. That Talent is has been able to overcome poor coaching more times than not. When the defense needs the coaches to help them make adjustments when things aren’t working it has failed them every time.

Umm, have you been watching the Panthers play the past two weeks?

Don’t let the NFL media machine push their narrative on you in hope of creating another poster boy. Winning is not a QB specific stat. That Patriots roster was built to win now in the offseason with a plug and play QB. All they are asking of the QB is to run the offense and not turn the ball over. This is the classic Pats Belichek model that they have used for 20 years now and allowed a guy like Matt Cassel to step in and still take the Pats to the playoffs. When Mac Jones starts carrying the team when they’re down and winning them games then we can talk. The Pats would maybe have 2 wins if Mac Jones was their QB last season. That roster was a train wreck.

Yeah glad I wasn’t the only one who picked up on that. Very good troll job because no sane person could think that was serious.

I don't think it has anything to do with moving the team. The Market in the Carolina's is one of the fastest growing in the country. There is a reason Tepper is making the moves he is with the Rock Hill Complex and the MLS Team. In 5 to 10 years everything he is invested in will be worth double. He may not know football but this kind of business stuff is his bread and Butter and a major reason he wanted to buy the team. As far as the NFL and the football stuff, It all falls on Goodell and how much of a piece of human trash he is. It is the same story with Rob Manfred and the MLB. David Stern was in that same camp but look at Adam Silver now and what he has done with the NBA. The NBA is the fastest growing sport in the world and at the best place it's been since the world wide draw of Michael Jordan in the 90's 25 years ago. Even though super teams are still a think there are actual signs of parity now that haven't been seen in the NBA in decades. With all of the positive rule changes and things Adam Silver has done since taking over, He is easily the best commissioner in professional sports. Meanwhile guys like Goodell and Manfred are turning their sports more and more into the WWE each year while only caring about making the owners and themselves as much money as possible. They don't give a damn about the actual product they're putting out there. Player safety, cheating??? They let their public relation teams try and manipulate the media into promoting that these things are their top priorities and when these issues actually make it to the forefront, they show their true colors and do the exact opposite of what should be done and go back to their PR teams to sweep the poo under the rug while trying to pull the blinders down over their customers and players faces.

This coaching staff is too terrible for literally any QB/player to overcome. I've never seen anything like this in the history of the Panthers, even in our 2-14 season with a lame duck Fox. That team was bad because of Pickles. Insert Matt Moore or who ever at the time and that same team would have gone 6-10 or Panthers classic 7-9. People are mad because the talent on this team is good enough to make the playoffs. When you look at the roster it isn't crazy to expect playoffs even with a second year coaching staff. The talent on this team sometimes overcomes the lack of coaching and wins games. It was like Rivera's tenure. The team constantly won in spite of the coaching and when they needed the coaches to do their jobs ("cough cough" Super Bowl "cough cough') They failed the players every time. 4 QB's now and the same terrible results. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize what the problem is. Same thing goes for the defense. As soon as a team counters what our defense is throwing at them and they need the coaches to counter, they get nothing. Literally, our coaches do nothing, week after fuging week. I'd be more than happy to have Cam and Sam back next season to compete for the starting job as long as we have a coaching staff in place with legitimate NFL experience.

If only Justin Herbert fell to us. Cam was fields mentor growing up through high school in Atlanta. Cam is the reason Fields wears #1. Would have all made too much sense

Damn well that sucks. At that point we were projected to have the second most cap space in the league. Now we’re middle of the pack. Looks like my dream of getting Terron Armstead and finally putting the can he play LT memes to rest is just that again, a dream. Well hopefully Christiansen continues to get starts at LT and progresses into a viable starting option for next season. Edit: Well fug me I guess. Just read in another thread that Daley is getting the start at LT over Brady C. Wtf is Rhule doing man.

Where the hell did the money go? Start of the season said we were supposed to have 60ish million in cap in 2022. CJ Henderson is the only addition we made that carries over to next season.

We have 50+ million in cap even with Darnolds contract still on the books next season.

No more fuging dead money. I rather just have him be an expensive back up next season. Cam’s market wont command some 30+ million dollar contract so between Cam and Sam their contracts would be the equivalent to one high end QBs cap hit. This is Rhules mess and he needs to eat it. I don’t want the cam kicked down the road and have a possible new head coach have to deal with his mess when he comes in. I’m sure Rhule was thrilled to have to deal with Hurney and Ron’s mess when he was hired.

This d line has plenty of beef. Phil Snow just likes to run 1 DT and a bunch of edge rusher when teams are running down our throats.

What good is a deep ball specialist if your offensive scheme doesn’t allow them to do their job? Dj, Robby, and TMjr are all plenty fast to run go routes. Problem is those routes just don’t seem to be apart of Brady’s offense. Part of the problem is not trusting the line to protect and another is how you utilize deep routes in your offense. Someone posted it on Sunday, but if you are calling for a player to go deep, your play design can’t have another player running the same route right next to you, allowing a single DB to guard two receivers at once.

That question was directed at another poster as it was pertaining to the entire point of the original thread. The way you rewrote it was how it was intended to be asked. Sorry for the confusion

The Seahawks were Pete Carrols 3rd head coaching gig in the NFL. Try again.

Exactly hiring Rhule and giving him that massive contract was a huge dumb mistake. Oh yeah and to top it off, allow him to hire a coaching staff of even more college coaches with no NFL experience. Recipe for disaster.

This was game 27 for this staff.

I wrote the fuging post I know exactly how I sound. Why the fug would you hire someone for a job who has no experience in the level of work you are hiring them for and expect good things to happen? Tell me, who was the last NFL coach who was hired straight from the NCAA to win a Super Bowl? I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t even in this century.

Yeah I remember the same play you are probably thinking of. Bottom of then line up on the left side of the field sometime in the second half.

Problem is the 3 big plays Donte gave up, Gilmore was on the field and Snow decided to not have him man up on McLaurin.
