I have to wonder if Tepper will reconsider his decision to bring Rhule back after these last two games. If he truly has “lost the locker room” what would be different to begin year 3? Did Tepper tell Rhule he had job security to get to the end of this season?

1) No argument here.
2) The 2022 salary cap has nearly $185M committed to it. The 2023 salary cap has barely $120M committed to it.
3) Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, CJ Henderson, Yetur Gross-Matos, Jeremy Chinn, Terrace Marshall Jr, Brady Christensen, Tommy Tremble, Chuba Hubbard, Bravvion Roy, Daviyon Nixon, Keith Taylor, Deonte Brown, Shi Smith, Phil Hoskins, and Stantley Thomas-Oliver III are all under contract through 2023. Jeremy Chinn is the best draft pick out of that group, sure, but to say there's no talent is asinine.
4) If that's the case, then we've got a QB to gamble on to keep the Huddle sadbois happy for a week or two. Weeeeee!!!

Brown had more flashes of potential but is ultimately Vernon Butler, Jaycee Horn can’t stay healthy and is unproven, Henderson sucks, YGM is serviceable but a downgrade from Obada, Chinn is excellent, TMJ is a worse LaFell, Christensen is an OK backup, Tremble is an OK backup, Hubbard is an OK backup who can’t catch or block, Roy isn’t NFL-caliber, Nixon isn’t NFL-caliber, Taylor isn’t NFL-caliber, Brown isn’t NFL-caliber, Smith is Joe Adams, Hoskins isn’t NFL-caliber, Thomas-Oliver isn’t NFL-caliber. 

So that’s one good player, three or four mediocre backups and a bunch of Arena Football players from two drafts.

He won't get fired for at least another year and a half. Tepper invested seven years into this contract, and as a businessman, he either goes the Dan Snyder route and throws money around, or won't throw away that investment too quickly. It will have to play out. Rhule is here until at least year five.

How much is losing the fan base and empty seats costing him? We run the risk of being Jacksonville North.

They’re actually worse off than Jacksonville, Detroit and both NY teams by far. There are 31 NFL teams, then there’s the Panthers.

Rhule is 1-17 in the draft so far. One starter in 18 picks. 2021 draft goes down as the worst in franchise history, considering what was given up vs what was acquired. But relax, it’ll only be that way until the 2022 draft trumps it. Welcome Sam Howell and a bunch of Baylor rejects.

Why wait?

Mike Florio wrote on Wednesday that it could be that Tepper already knows who Rhule’s replacement will be and will wait until after the season to can Rhule and hire his guy. It could be that Tepper has talked to someone like Bill Cowher and already has his next couple of steps lined up. 
 

Tepper was a brilliant hedge fund manager and now runs more of a family office. The Panthers are his primary focus and there’s no reason to think he can’t figure this out.

Sure there is. He’s the most incompetent owner in the NFL.

I heard an inside rumor he gave them the entire week off before Miami because he had lost the locker room.
