Is Rhule?

He isn’t a professional 

his throwing bullshit on select players every Sunday night and Monday morning has grown tiresome 

someone gets the blame and it’s next Rhule

First off no one player is above any criticism. Cam made mistakes that lost us the game he knows it and he has owned up to it like always. That being said any Panthers fan who has been following the team this season and has seen the pressers is going to rightly call shenanigans on throwing players under the bus publicly now.  If he was going to go this route he should have been doing so all along bc there has been blame to go around. Him and his staff included. This is a really bad look this late in the season and you see fans in the replies rightly so calling it for what it is. Good on Ellis for speaking on this.

I hope Rhule is going to Tepper and telling him they would've won the game without Cam's costly turnovers. Surely Tepper would be able to see through such thick layers of bullshit and lack of leadership.

I think it’s pretty clear that Rhule has some sort of disdain for Cam. Not exactly sure what it is, could be a multitude of reasons but him throwing him under the bus today genuinely made me dislike him as a person.
 

Cam keeping quiet besides discussing his own play and his faults speaks volumes about the character Cam has vs Rhule, who hasn’t owned any responsibility for anything since he’s been here. 
 

I despise Rhule. And I have a feeling the members of the team that aren’t tied to Baylor in any way feel the same. 

This imo sums it up. Rhule's a control freak, ad Cam was the ONE player at the time that had more sway with the roster than the coach. 

NFL players respect Cam, he has a SB appearance and MVP to his name. Rhule came in with a nice college resume but nothing that would compare to Cam's at the professional level. 

Therefore to attain that power / voice Cam had to go, and Rhule screwed up QB TWO SEASONS IN A ROW.

I think Rhule can't help but like Cam as a leader, especially after Teddy openly defied him, but there's probably some insecurity there too.  Cam was this staff's first scapegoat and he puts a spotlight on Tepper's lust for a franchise QB.

If that were the case, it'd be almost ironic. Steve Smith was reportedly cut so the Panthers could be Newton's team.

 Mind you, it's a little different when it's a coach. A coach shouldn't have to resort to such tactics.

No, he's not as professional as he should be.  I think he's running scared right now.

[Uwontdoit81]

Cam respects the title, not the man.  What true professionals do.

 

Rhule takes no accountability, whereas Cam takes the most.

[Silent Majority]

I've never witnessed a NFL coach who behaves so petulantly. I really really despise him.

I get it.  But Rhule is right.  Cam turned the ball over twice in the opponents side of the field after two long drives.  Cam needs to be held accountable like everyone else.  Rhule said the same about Sam when he kept committing turnovers 

... but did he though? I don't recall Rhule ever throwing Sam under the bus, especially highlighting a fumble that wasn't even Cam's fault. Maybe I feel protective over Cam in a weird fatherly way, but after every crappy Sam game with multiple turnovers I can't recall a week where Rhule went out of his way at multiple different pressers to highlight how bad Sam did.

I kind of wonder if the players are looking to Cam for guidance vs Rhule and there are some insecurities there. Cam has made it to the Big Game, Cam has been a MVP, Cam is a strong leader who (usually) owns up to his mistakes. If Rhule is losing the respect of his team because they see what we all see, they might be leaning on Cam more which he wouldn’t like.

Might be time for Cam to start "moving some furniture"...

That's not a hard scenario to picture.
