Truth. You don't try to create a culture or intentionally work to create one. You just create one. It just happens. You just do it. It comes naturally and organically. Good cultures develop naturally around good leaders. People see it and buy into it without having to be convinced or trained. Rhule talks a good game and his poo might have worked in college, but he manipulates and that doesn't work so well on grown-ups.

I'll just say this...if we draft him, I hope they are right. I don't see it happening (him being the next Joe Burrow...I absolutely see us drafting him). It would be great, but I'm not counting on him being good. He's got to win me over (not that he or anyone at all should care about my opinion). I'm going to have to see sustainable good results for me to feel at all about him. I will not be disappointed. I refuse to be. I'm starting off at ground zero with him or really anyone in this organization. I've got no faith in this team under this leadership anfld I hope they make me wrong because I'd love to eat that crow.

If the expectation or goal is to get and stay at .500, that's no culture I want to be a part of.

Id just be happy to see a stud on the panthers perform more than 3 or 4 games without getting hurt and missing the rest of the season.

Lol yeah. The bar is set incredibly low for "success."

I won't be satisfied with that. It's a deep playoff run or he's gone. There's no excusing anything less than a playoff run.

For Peak's sake don't go and break it again. Be careful.

CMC has never been a leader.

I don't think he likes vocal leaders. I think he wants to be THE GUY that everyone looks to and depends on. Friggin narcissist.

1-6 best OL available.

Tepper has kept his mouth shut. He's not trying to convince us of anything. You're right, though. This is worse than JR, tbh, which is hard to do. I thought we were going to see a guy that is involved. Has he made any fan appearances lately? Either he's too embarrassed or doesn't want to deal with the the fans who aren't buying in to what he's got going on. I hope he's embarrassed, but then why wouldn't he be doing something unless he's too weak to do anything about it.

Lets hope so. Would love to see some accountability around here.

First, I kept hearing about this culture that Rhule is trying to establish that it supposedly takes 5 years to create. So exactly what is that culture supposed to look like? What kind of culture is it? One thing that I think has been lacking for years, going back to the year after the Superbowl, one thing I think we've been lacking is a hunger. I think that loss knocked it out of us. I mean for years before that we always had parts of the team that was hungry, but that just went away and we didn't have strong enough leadership to overcome that. Rhule has done nothing to establish that. That's what good leaders do and it doesn't take years to do that. Rivera was weak... likeable, but weak in that department. It seems like Rhule and Tepper (evidenced by the taking away of "keep pounding") don't want it here, which makes it hard to be a fan.

The small hands thing is in his head, which is bad. Let's me know he's prone to have a long memory and let things get to him and stay with him. We'd see lots of funks that take weeks to get out of.

Me too. If we don't address the OL long term in FA at LT or center, then I think we have to take advantage of this class of OL with #6. If we are going to go QB, give me Willis over Pickett. Pickett reminds me too much of Darnold only just a little better. I don't think Willis is anything special, but if we're bound and determined to get a QB, then Willis would be the more entertaining option.

If it's not positive towards the people in power I like, it's fake news.

Free agency De’Vondre Campbell or Foyesade Oluokon.

Darnold did a few things well, too.

Rhule's teams don't do that. They start off hot getting everyone excited for the first few games then flatlines the rest of the season while Rhule is standing there scratching his ass and trying to convince himself everything is still going how it should and the plan is still working.

I hope he stepped up. Not crazy about an owner getting involved too much, but when your coach is Rhule and your aren't gonna fire him, you need to set parameters.

I got rid of him but I'm sure he'll be back.

Knock it off.

Wouldn't count on it unless he gets someone to do his stunts for him.
