An entire draft first year and most last yr all spent on defense and they still suck.

No to the third season for Rhule. College coaches rarely have success in NFL. This team is regressing and Rhule appears to be in way over his head. Unless the purpose is bringing him back for another year to tank and get a top draft pick in 2023, then just end the inevitable now. (This off-season)

Until the Panthers get rid of this entire staff of college coaches ... the Saints and every other team in the NFC South has more upside.

College coaches rarely ever have success in the NFL and Rhule has show he will be no different. This team has regressed across the board and most likely will deteriorate more this final quarter of the season. (Would nice to be wrong in this). Keeping Rhule another year will just be delaying the inevitable.

The mistake wasn't passing on Fields & Jones ..... the mistake was not taking Slater. Now the Panthers need to use next years first round pick on the O-line and then have to wait another whole year before being drafting a QB in Round 1. Where as if they took Slater then next draft could have gone QB or even another OL if didnt like any of the QB's and then have two top picks on the line when drafting a QB the following year. I guess they could go QB next draft and cross fingers and hope we have a better oline next year, but this current staff does not give me the optimism that is possible. Ugh.. this sucks being in No QB, No Oline and a staff of all college coaches hell.

Yep .. to me, making this situation worse is not only do we have a from college head coach, the entire staff are from college. I’ve seen enough and based on the fact college coaches rarely have success in the NFL, I’m ready to move on to new staff to facilitate the inevitable now. This is why your option to let them figure it out, isn’t an option for me.

I’m done already with this entire staff. College coaches rarely have success in the NFL and it appears that will be the case here. Tepper and the GM need to speed up the inevitable and change the coaching staff.

I’ve seen enough and based on the fact college coaches rarely have success in the NFL, I’m ready to move on to new staff now to facilitate the inevitable now. Making this situation even worse is not only do we have a from college head coach, the entire staff are from college.

Of course they didn’t show the “taunting” … makes me think even more it was a total bullsh*t call.

I agree with the college coaches are rarely ever successful in the NFL. I’m never opposed to a retread depending on who it is AND I’d prefer that over a college coach. Maybe Rhule will pan out, I’ll stay hopeful …. BUT like you said , I think then having an entire staff of college coaches and one, Brady, I don’t think was even a coordinator in college was a mistake.

I don’t think it’s to loud. I can see how some might feel that way. If anything it sounds like cr*p …. I’m in the upper level and we can barely understand what’s being said and the music sounds muffled. It’s not clear at all.

I hear ya and agree. The "what am I missing here" as it applies to why bring Cam back now ... I think if they went forward with CJ & Barkley for the rest of the season that would basically be throwing in the towel and tanking for a draft pick of which you probably piss off half the locker room full of people you probably want part of your team next year .... so to me it was either lose the locker room for good or bring a QB in (in this case Cam is probably the best out there) and give the team at least a chance of winning games, and maybe playoffs if they can get even average to good QB play. That to me that is the why.

Hell yeah.... it was either this or tank and lose the entire locker by going with PJ & Barkley for the rest of the season. Just wish they did this sooner.

To me the frustrating thing, yes this is hindsight, .... is I was ok they passed on Fields and Jones. To me the fact Denver who also desperately needed a QB and picked right after the Panthers also passed on them was somewhat telling and I was ok not going in that direction. THE part in hindsight that I think was the mistake, was not drafting Slater to play LT. So now the Panthers still need to address QB and LT with no 2nd round pick ... so it will be almost impossible to address both in the next draft. If they went Slater and not Horne, at least the LT spot would have resolved. Now again, it will take most likely another two drafts to address both positions and that stinks. Unless of course they trade future draft capital which also stinks.

Not surprised the shoulder is hurt. I said it right away to my son before right after the play that Darnold got his shoulder rocked. I still think overall that was a dumb play all around. I already know Darnold will play all out for the team... what we didn't need was for him to act like a RB five yards from the endzone and to get rocked.

Guess it’s a matter of opinion. Darnold was at least five yards away and was not going to bulldoze over defenders there. I’d rather my starting QB not play like a RB in that situation.

Yeah … I had a problem with the call or decision by Darnold or both. Not sure what Darnold was thinking acting like a RB towards the end of that play. As a result he takes himself out of the game and potentially future ones. To me that was not a very smart decision.

Boring no … disappointing this season for sure and making it even more disappointing overall is that we are back in need a QB hell and feels like we are headed for another stretch of what it was like between Delhomme to Cam and that was a brutal stretch.

I get this we need an OL ... yeah we do for sure... BUT even with time Darnold is throwing horrible passes to open receivers a lot, not seeing open receivers, and making horrible decisions, etc. And if its because he is seeing ghosts, etc then he is damaged and probably not salvageable. So yeah we need an OL, but even with a good OL it looks like Darnold is not the answer, sadly because I was optimistic with the trade for him.

Making it difficult for me to be all in is the unknown of the legal issues and that is where trading 1st round picks and players is the big risk should you end up still needing to draft a QB or get one via free agency if Watson is not able to play. OTHERWISE... I am all in on a trade because you are going to end up using a first round pick or trading a bunch to move up in the draft for an unknow and your in this constant cycle of drafting and bringing QBS that its worth to trade capital for a proven guy.

I would have rather watched this garbage with Cam at QB and yes I do feel he would have been better than Bridgewater and Darnold.

You missed my point. Even if that’s what Cam ended up being …. We’d be in no worse position we’re in now. Seeing what we have since… I would have rather watched this garbage with Cam at QB and yes I do feel he would have been better than Bridgewater and Darnold.

It just pisses me if we got rid of Cam for these now two seasons of crap at the QB position. If anything we’d be in same position we’re in now.

Looks like the way this Panther team is being built is they are doing both ... rebuilding and making moves to win now.

I posted about the no Keep Pounding chant missing on here when I got home after the game. It was interesting to see some others perspectives on it. Here is that thread I did find it peculiar it was not done at all. There was several times throughout the game I thought it was a good time for it, and it wasn't even done after the drum to start the game. My son did get a survey after the game about his experience at the stadium and there were several questions about the chant so they are obviously thinking of eliminating it all together is my guess. As far as the drum crew... they were there, just in the opposite corner from the past years.
