It took Rivera a while to win too

We've never had back to back winning seasons.  The Panthers franchise just turned 28 years old.  In 26 seasons, this team has never put two winning seasons together.  Never.  It doesn't matter the coach, the players, the philosophy, even the owner - sustained mediocrity is all they've ever achieved with some playoffs and two SB appearances from fantastic outlier seasons.

They are who we thought they were.  It may take awhile for a new coach and system to settle in, but in reality they've never done diddly poo consistently.

Ron was pedestrian and his QB and MLB were able to drag him into more than mediocrity. Maybe Rhule finds something more but there is no indication yet he has more at this time.

Picking 1st and getting a franchise QB changes everything. If Rhule found that he would be doing a lot better but he went in the other direction.

Half of the people calling for his job will be cheering him on in a winning season. Probably also telling people they always knew he was a winner. 

Not if he never has a winning season. At this rate it's not a bad bet.

Rivera’s first two drafts: Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly 

Rhule’s first two drafts: Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn

 

Cam and Luke changed the future overnight. Derrick Brown? Who the hell takes a run stuffer that cannot rush the passer with the 7th overall pick? 

Don’t know why you pooed me I was agreeing with your last paragraph.

Rivera was and is a mediocre coach that was carried by Cam and Luke.  Tell me when we had back to back winning seasons.   He was slightly better than Fox sometimes and slightly worse the rest of the time.  But I think we are destined to have these type of coaches it seems.

Marty Hurney was like the only GM to fly to Oregon to see Justin Herbert while everyone else was locking down.

Marty was about to move heaven and earth to get Herbert here. Rhule was like nah, we good.

That was the end of his coaching career in an instant. That was his Cam Newton opportunity. Instead he says no and kicks Cam out if HIS locker room.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
