Rhule wants a Sports Science department. What is it?

[raleigh-panther]

Seattle is already doing some of these types of things including measuring competitiveness as part of their draft profile 

competitiveness isn’t something the Panthers have had for a very very long time while Seattle , no matter what (turnover in players and coaches, injuries) are in the playoffs while the Panthers are ‘just glad to be here’ and posing after doing their jobs with a losing record 

toughness, both physical and mental, as much as Ron used to talk about it, is something his teams lost after 2015

recovery is incredible important for nfl players over a 20 to 25 week schedule plus practice plus Thursday night games.  If true science helps, why would we not want to jump on it

Welcome to the Browns of the south. 

I'm not going to poo on you, but you're being gratuitously negative. No one knows how this is going to turn out, and no one really has anything to point to to say it will end badly. A loss to  Georgia (Go Dawgs!) who is out of Baylor's league should've been expected, because Georgia is that much better in pretty much every way. The phrase is "any given Sunday" for a reason. Pros are pros, & programs with the most pro-level talent will win over lesser programs on almost every Saturday. Rhule did make a bad college program good, which is respectable, and didn't take long to do it. They went from joke to legit! You should at least have some fascination as to what he can positively do in the pros.

That’s why college is college and translating that to the professionals doesn’t work 9/10 times. I don’t see Rhule as a 1/10 guy. He’s one of those 9 that will fail at the pro levels but dominate in college. The 1/10 guy(take Pete Carrol) still fail on their first pro’s outing. 

So with history, logic and analytics this move is doomed to fail before it was even made.

We'll see.

BTW, Harbaugh didn't fail.

He road a wave for a bit but he fell flat on his ass and quickly went back to college. Chip Kelly, basically the same thing. Once they are figured out, they just fall back to college. College level without pro education just doesn’t equate these days.

If Hurney had been let go I’d be excited. But Hurney still has too much control

 

You don't know this yet. Just because Hurney is still here doesn't mean his responsibilities are the same.

Disagree on Harbaugh. That was more a political thing than a purely football move.

Eat some bananas, drink water, use ice and gets some rest. Maybe throw in a vitamin or two.
 

How hard was that? And I don’t cost up to $10 million a year. 

This isn’t Harvard’s Sports Medicine dept. Its a professional organization, with well trained athletes. 
 

Rhule is one hell of a salesman with that resume.

 

good point. the panthers should just hire you

It would be better than hiring you.

Nope. I would be fired within a day when I told Tepper to stay in his lane.

Players who want to recover quickly, probably. 

Unless we are talking about blood doping, I find it head to believe that these guys will hear something they haven’t heard before.

20 years ago you wouldn’t need to build a sports medicine facility, you’d just call up BALCO and order some cases of “The Cream”
