Someone's pimping another wannabe sports columnist.

Someone still believes Sam is a good qb?

At this point I don't care whether he stays or goes. This team is FUBAR.

Well that didn't end like I expected. Actually it did but I was hoping to be wrong.

The coach will live a die by the coordinators he chooses. Whoever the next HC candidate is for the job better have great answers to that question. As many have pointed out being a good coordinator does not equate to a great head coach. A great motivator is only part of the job.

Looks like a bad offseason to need a HC. Just the Panthers luck.

Our hopes for the season

It's a fact. No sugar coating it.

He spoke the truth. It won't be just Rhule that is shown the door when the season is over. Some may not make it to the offseason if they don't step up.

I'm certain the reason Teddy was booted was because he spoke out against Brady behind the scenes. Even Teddy knew Brady was out of his depth. Also Teddy sucked which didn't help his case.

Do your own homework man. I'm too lazy to do my own.

Matt Rhules greatest sin and the one that will be his demise here is that he got out coached by the coach that he replaced. He was exposed in a way that is unforgivable as a coach. He did not prepare for or adjust to his opponents strategies after their last meeting. He embarrassed his boss because of his ineptitude in leadership more than once this season. That in itself is almost impossible to overcome. Winter is coming.

Rhule should have never been given full control from the start. That is on Tepper. Tepper has botched this whole thing from day 1. He should have cleaned house day 1 and hired a competent team president. One that shared his vision and let him hire the GM. Then he should have stepped back and let those two hire the coach. But nooooo...he and Hurney had to do it. Dumbass.

This^ Don't get too caught up in "measurable" and overlook the one thing that matters most, toughness. If he can hold his own 80-90% of the time he's good enough. It's up to the coaches to figure out how to help him with the other 10-20% of the time. Stop making him master other positions before he gets to play where he's best suited all along.

Close my eyes and think of someone else.

If he can play LT I don't care if he has T-Rex arms. The kid played LT all through college and played pretty damn well. Play him there and don't look back.

I certainly will be. He should go back to coaching in college. Hes not cut out for this level at all.

Tepper has already decided to fire Rhule. There is no way this team wins out. I'm not sure they win another game. Rhule is a dead man walking.

One could argue the same for Rhule. Just saying.

Whether Rhule is here or not this team is not competing without an oline and a competent qb.

Whatever was behind the breakup it cost both parties. The reunion will not end much better I fear. He will play out the string if he can survive this oline and both will most likely go their separate was once again. What a mess this has become

I keep hearing this but have you any proof he would have done that? From what I remember at that time the belief was he wasn't going to. It doesn't matter at this point but the theories are all over the place with that story.

Rhule has been fighting an uphill battle here from the day he arrived. He was set up to fail with covid wrecking his first offseason and a massive roster turnover, and Hurney. With all that he managed to put a respectable team on the field. I don't care who you are that was a tremendous accomplishment. Then comes season 2 where expectations were getting high as the draft and offseason played out. Even as the qb carousel continued with another gamble behind center. Then they started out winning and looking like things may just work out despite all the holes in the team and the gambling on roster positions. Then comes the realization that the inexperience on the team starts at the top. Those gambles that looked worth the risk caused a ripple effect when all fails at once with no realistic backup plan. The choice to go with a young potential OC, not a young experienced OC mind you, but a guy that had not called a game at any level. Well...you now see why Rhule brought his old play caller along just in case. Probably should have thought that one though a little more. So 3/4s of the way through his second season things have gone sideways because he chose to put his offense in the hands of a guy who had no experience at it. He's royally screwed up at qb and basically has no offense. What happens from here on will determine his fate. The odds are not in his favor.

It's the same in life. Hostility has replaced civility with everything, not just sports.

I'm willing to bet the playbook stays the same. I hope the route combinations change at least but the same plays will have to be ran. There's no way they can come up with an entirely new offense for everyone to learn. Its not just Cam who has to learn whatever is thrown at them.
