Rhule is making a statement

[jfra78]

Hurney is making the picks, this is rediculous

Obviously Rhule is involved but Hurney is ultimately the decision maker. 

Hurney is like me when I take my wife out to dinner. Sure, I “decide” where to go, but I can only choose from the one or two places she’s in the mood for.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Hurneys making the picks Rhule is involved like every other coach hurney has drafted with. Y’all gotta get that hate out your heart 

[TheMostInterestingMan]

It’s strange to me why this is hard for people to grasp. It’s pretty damn obvious.

Hurney respects and listens to the coaches opinions and ultimately relies on the coach to pick which players best fit his plans as does ANY good GM. 
 

People sure seem fine discussing how well Pete Carroll drafts. I’m sorry, but is Pete Carroll the GM of the Seahawks? 
 

Obviously Pete is the driving force of the draft. But that is because the GM understands that Pete is the one directly working with these players and producing the on field product. 
 

Any good GM picks who the coaching staff wants. None of them say “I’m picking who I want whether he works in your system or not, so deal with it” 

The fee exceptions don’t tend to last very long. A certain Dave Gettleman comes to mind.

So yes. Marty and Rhule have had a great draft. But that is because, as with previous coaches, Marty respects Rhules vision and is not making picks without Rhules adamant stamp of approval

Yeah, hope Teddy has life insurance.  Not even worried about his knee, I'm worried for his life.

I actually think were going to see some progress on the Oline. Regardless of what you think of the Okung trade.Trai had fallen off and Okung is a legit LT.  I think Bridgewater will be more protected with Okung as opposed to if we kept Trai.

I think Moton should have a decent year going into his 3rd season. I expect to see a fully developed player this year. Paradis was awful last year. The question is...was it because he just naturally sucks or was it because of the injury?  Nowhere to go but up for Paradis. Id like to think he should bounce back a little bit.  Daley performed admirably last year...we should see some improvement.  Greg Little is the xfactor.  If he is healthy....then we should see some decent development.

In my view the Panthers have invested in the Oline in recent drafts. I'd still like to see an FA picked up. Ultimately though I feel pretty good about the offense. I'd like to see a power back added for short yardage situations. Thats the one flaw in CMCs game.

(Okung is the best of the bunch even at his age, hes a stop gap)

I think Moton should have a decent year going into his 3rd season.(TBH I completely forgot he existed) I expect to see a fully developed player this year. Paradis was awful last year.(Yes he was) The question is...was it because he just naturally sucks or was it because of the injury?(He doesn't suck, he just might not fit)  Nowhere to go but up for Paradis. Id like to think he should bounce back a little bit.  Daley performed admirably last year(If at Tackle yes, Guard???)...we should see some improvement.  Greg Little is the xfactor.  If he is healthy(Bingo)....then we should see some decent development.

In my view the Panthers have invested in the Oline in recent drafts(Selected? Yes. Invested? Hardly.). I'd still like to see an FA picked up(Why now? They've gone D, keep going). Ultimately though I feel pretty good about the offense. I'd like to see a power back added for short yardage situations. Thats the one flaw in CMCs game. (Of the 22 positions on O/D RB doesn't even appear on the concern list)

We aren't that far apart.  The offense should be ok-ish as is, but with the type of investment on offense next year the way they did defense this year would cement CMC as a HOF'er, granted he survives this season.  It would also help protect whatever top QB we draft next year.

I never argued that Okung was a long term answer. When I think of Okung I think of what Michael Oher was able to do for us. If he can play well for two season Ill be happy. But he's a good player that buys us time though his prime is dwindling. He is WAAAY better to see on the blindside then what we've been trotting out there the past few years. Also Bridgewater is known to get the ball out quick which is something we havent had.

Offensively we may be better then what people think. Really the biggest problem is the Virus and not having time to really learn a new system adequately.  In addition to having a lot of holes on defense, having a good defense in the season of covid may he the best way to be competitive.

Good post until Hurney gets promoted tomorrow to “not GM”.

I know that. I’m being sarcastic. We are going to be better than Detroit and probably Jacksonville, Washington and NYJ. Three of those four teams need a QB.

Whether you want to believe it or not, Rhule is the one making 60mil and given the job to take this team to a SB champion, not Hurndog who is a lame duck.
