He somewhat addressed this by saying they had a mass exodus on the dline after that season and they literally didnt have the bodies to field a defensive line.  So I assume he was saying thats why they picked brown and he said marty was running that draft

Matt Rhule 101. Deflect blame to others.

He was called a manipulator by someone in the org to me the first practice of his tenure here 

Yup...it's clear that several people aren't actually completely in on how bad it is...not talking bad about anyone just saying people may think poo is just a joke but word on the street is much much worse.

I liked Fields pre draft but agree, he doesn’t have what it takes to make the big league leap. Many scouts saw it.

I don’t like Rhule turning the Horn-Slater thing into an indictment on Horn. Skirted his way around that. It’s about building a competent OL, not about Horn. They didn’t compensate in FA for not picking tackles in 1 or 2. Picked two very middling OL veterans to immediately sign with a decent FA market at our disposal.

I’m just as ticked off we didn’t land Cosmi, Radunz, or Carman in R2 as Slater R1. 

Would have helped stomach this a lot better. I would have grilled on that subsequent strategy and the current status of Marshall. We drafted him 2nd, why the hell didn’t we use him when there was abundant lineman available? 

Too early on that.  He was in a horrible spot.   Like Trevor.    

but you watch late in the year like the stretch that starter around the Pitt game? Fields was starting to really show some things.  

generally rookies who shine are in good spots to shine.  Hebert.  Cam.  Luck.  All the recent wow guys as rookies had the talent around them to look good.   Trevor and Fields were in horrible spots.  

If Fields and Trevor were drafted by different teams.  They likely look different.

A lot of it does come down to circumstance...for example this offense would make HoF QBs look trash.

He's the Owner, not the GM or the Coach.

Mac & Bonehead runs a sports talk show, it's not an investing or business ops discussion.

Tepper leaves the football decisions, and football talk, to the football people. 

You might catch him on Bloomberg News or some other similar business related programming soon, stay tuned. 

It must be tough having everybody poo on your dad.  
 

Get used to it.  Dudes sucks donkey balls for nickels.  Then gives a 50 cent refunds.

Seriously. Just an awful look in retrospect. I mean, I guess I appreciate the honesty which seems rare for Rhule but I actually don't think he's trying to be "honest" there he's just so beholden to "analytics" that he actually thinks that's an intelligent answer. His best coach speak answer on that is probably to simply say that they evaluated Horn as the better prospect. We expect BIG things out of him in the future. Period. End of story.

Is it honesty? Just seems like standard Rhule bullshit.  
 

He drafted a DB that high instead lol.  And Herbert isn’t really that much more mobile of it all than his boys Sam/PJ.  What does that even mean.

Nah, I doubt Herbert is any faster on a stopwatch. He's just a much better QB who doesn't panic. Darnold panics if his first read isn't open. I'm still just baffled at how misused Herbert was by that Oregon staff. Damn...

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
