Luke would have picked that off

Well they need to mix it up every now and then so the other team isn’t sitting on every short route.

Does Joe Brady’s offense have any passing plays that go for more than 10 yards in the air?

WFT can only win if a team beats themselves. If we don’t turn the ball over and get competent QB play this is a double digit win.

Except for that one horrible playoff game where John Fox must have been point shaving, we have really owned the Cardinals.

I’m ecstatic. I can’t believe we wasted 9 games on darnold.

Haven’t we leaned our lesson about it “being up to Matt Rhule?” If left to his own devices, he will do the dumbest thing imaginable.

He was 100% brought into Tepper's office and told to call Cam because the poo that he brought in wasn't selling tickets and it sure wasn't leading to any wins. I'm just as excited that Cam is back as I am that Rhule was finally put in his place by Tepper.

Where is that highlandfire dude?

Failure of the Appaloosa model, whatever that is. Also, a fug you to Rhule. I’m gonna guess this had a lot more to do with our owner and GM and Rhule was told to go along for the ride. Maybe there is hope yet.

We once got Vinny Testaverde during the week and threw him out at Arizona. That turned out ok.

What these “rebuild” posters fall to realize is that the NFL is a year to yeae league. Our 15-1 team went 6-10 the next season. Our 1-15 team was in the super bowl two years later. Nothing is static in pro football. Entire rosters turn over every 3-4 years. At the beginning of last year I think there were 3 or 4 guys left from the super bowl team. Now there’s 2 (shaq and Jansen ). Acting like this defense we have now will be in place next year much less 2-3 years from now is naive and fails to account for the constant churn that goes on in the NFL. If you’re not winning now you’re subject to being fired. My biggest concern is Tepper is just as lost as Rhule and thinks that you can “rebuild” an NFL team like a college roster where you know the players you’ll have for 3-4 years.

You could argue that 2021 Carolina is just as bad. This offense is probably worse than the one led by Kyle Allen in 2019. The defense being younger and faster has made no difference because the current staff has mismanaged one half of the operation into oblivion for two years straight. The results show on the field.

The arrogance is what pisses me off the most. And picking up the 5th year option before they ever saw him play a down.

The team is worse than last year. They are worse than last year because of decisions made by Rhule.

Why? He’s not getting the job done. It’s a results league.

Who is the franchise QB that we are going to discover next year?

Never said it was a cap hit. I know it’s not. But the point is just how mind numbingly stupid this contract was. If we thought JR was a bad owner he looks like Kraft or the Rooneys compared to the clown we have running the show now.

No, but it shows just how damn stupid this move was. He gave Super Bowl winning money to a guy who had never coached an NFL game. We have a bigger problem here...

I knew Rhule was overpaid but this is shocking. Everyone in the top 10 except him has made a Super Bowl and 7 of the 9 guys have titles. He is being paid more than the last two coaches to win titles and makes a paltry 500K less than John Harbaugh. What in the hell was Tepper thinking? Top 10 NFL coach salaries. 1. Bill Belichick, $12.5 million With six Super Bowl rings and 22 years of tenure with the New England Patriots, it makes sense that Belichick has the highest salary among coaches. He also makes personnel decisions for the Patriots, including the draft, free agency and trades. Belichick is a three-time AP Coach of the Year and the all-time leader in playoff wins by a coach. 2. Pete Carroll, $11 million The Seattle Seahawks’ head coach since 2010, Carroll has led the team to the postseason nine times in 11 years. Seattle won Super Bowl XLVIII over the Broncos before losing to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX the following year. The 70-year-old Carroll is the NFL’s oldest head coach, but last year he signed a contract extension through 2025. 3. Sean Payton, $9.8 million In the midst of his 15th season with the New Orleans Saints, Payton is the NFL second longest-tenured head coach behind Belichick. He was hired in 2006 and promptly turned the team around, going 10-6 in his first year after the Saints went 3-13 in 2005. Paired with Drew Brees, the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010 and haven’t won fewer than seven games during Payton’s tenure. 4. John Harbaugh, $9 million Hired in 2009, Harbaugh has just one losing season with the Baltimore Ravens. He won Super Bowl LXVII in February 2013 against his brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers. Recently, he transformed the Ravens’ offense as they moved from pocket passer Joe Flacco to dual-threat Lamar Jackson. 5. Matt Rhule, $8.5 million It took a lot of money for the Carolina Panthers to poach Rhule away from Baylor University in 2020. The Panthers are in the midst of a rebuild, as they went 5-11 in Rhule’s first year and then replaced quarterback Teddy Bridgewater with Sam Darnold in 2021. The 46-year-old Rhule signed a seven-year deal with the Panthers, so he’ll likely be around through the rebuild. 6. Sean McVay, $8.5 million At 30, McVay was the youngest head coach in NFL history when the Los Angeles Rams hired him in 2017. Since then, he’s never finished with a losing record and won the NFC title in 2018. He also revolutionized the head coach hiring process, as a new wave of young offensive-minded coaches were hired in the years following his early success with the Rams. 7. Mike Tomlin, $8 million Now in his 15th consecutive season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tomlin is one of the top coaches in the NFL. He’s never finished below .500, leading the Steelers to the playoffs in nine of 14 seasons and making the Super Bowl twice. Tomlin won the Super Bowl in just his second season, but he hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. 8. Andy Reid, $8 million Coming in at eighth on this list, Reid is a bargain for the Kansas City Chiefs. He could never win the big game until he found Patrick Mahomes, but he hasn’t squandered his opportunity with the NFL’s best quarterback since 2018, making three straight AFC title games and two straight Super Bowls. Now in his ninth season with the Chiefs after 14 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid is among the NFL’s great offensive minds. 9. Bruce Arians, $8 million The defending Super Bowl champion, Arians has succeeded everywhere he’s gone as a head coach. He filled in for Chuck Pagano and won AP Coach of the Year with the Indianapolis Colts, then went 49-30 with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Getting Tom Brady down to Florida certainly helped his case, as he had just one playoff win in seven seasons before teaming up with the GOAT. 10. Ron Rivera, $7 million Riverboat Ron signed a five-year contract with the Washington Football Team prior to 2020. Even though Washington went just 7-9 in his first season, that was good enough to win the NFC East and make the postseason. His $7 million salary was earned after nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers where he led them to an NFC title in 2015. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/nbcsports/who-are-the-highest-paid-coaches-in-the-nfl-in-2021-season/2636720/

Any list that doesn’t have him last has no credibility and they haven’t watched us play this season. One touchdown in 3 games.

If Rhule came out and said "Sam hasn't played well enough to win, we want to give PJ a shot to see what he does" it would have gone over a lot better than the way he fuged up this entire situation. He's now attempting to be a coward and cover his terrible decisions by letting on that Darnold is more hurt than he really is. This is the same type of dishonesty that we've seen from him since he mishandled the whole Cam situation. It's getting old and tired at this point.

F+ with the + for Gilmore. Every other move has backfired and set the team back.

It’s like we took Marty Hurney and made him a head coach/GM combo.

I was at the bears game against SF last week. Fields didn’t look like a rookie. He made good reads and good throws and ran at the appropriate time. He’s going to be really good really soon. meanwhile we can only pray to land Fitzpatrick or Tyrod Taylor in the offseason.
