Am I the only one to get the not-so subtle impression that Rhule plays the players against the "fans", here? Possibly in the locker-room as well.

It's been noticeable. Not exactly a wise business model. It certainly hasn't had an impact on the team performing much better if anyone has actually been bothered by it though if the continued blowout losses were any indication. Even teams like the Jaguars and Lions were still fighting at the end of their season.

Sam Darnold just might have been a serviceable QB and we would have probably have won 2 or 3 more games.

We got to stop with this Sam stuff.  Sam is a happy foot turnover machine that literally can’t read a field and operate an offense.  He is historically worse with time. 

Sam can check down and throw to his first read.   You aren’t going to coach him into being a QB this late in his career.  He just simply isn’t good.

Can you elaborate any further?

Just that I know someone that knows someone. Then you say "all the ole my friends dads nephews cousins dog knows someone" and we keep it moving. Which is why I never thread those

When Slater is coming off a year where he was selected as a Pro Bowl starter at LT in the AFC and played at an All-Pro level - you do not, under any circumstance, say something like that to the public. Yes, people miss all the time, but he has to have some self-awareness. Comments like that make him and the organization look dumb. He's getting roasted by experts that know OL play. Free agents aren't going to want to sign up to play for someone like that. 

He just answered honestly though.  Hes constantly getting bashed for lying as he should but then he gives an honest answer obviously at his own expense and it's the same thing.

Its a pretty universal thing that we as humans revile manipulators

To be fair and honest, he also said something that is missing from the quote. He said that because Slater had missed the prior year and he did not have the ideal measurable they were not comfortable taking him ahead of Penai or Jaycee. He did not say that they would not have taken Slater if the other two were not there.

Exactly 

Panther fans hate Matt Rhule and there is nothing he could have said in this interview to change that.

Get Sam a line and a real OC and then we can evaluate him.

I been trying to square this away and the only thing it can be is the splash plays he makes has people hung up.

It isn't just Panthers fans giving him the side eye this morning. The team is doing a damn good job of making a mockery of itself without us.

This also confirms that Charlie Campbell of Walterfootball does indeed have a source inside the organization so whoever he says we are picking in his 2022 mock draft is probably at the top of our draft board

Last year during the draft Campbell said “a team picking in the top 10 that needed a tackle passed on Slater because they thought he was too small for a tackle and didn’t want to pick a guard that high,” which is almost verbatim what Rhule just said 

Campbell has correctly called the last 4 Panthers first round picks (and also said the Panthers were going to take Horn no matter who was on the board, BEFORE last years draft)

[amcoolio]

Right now Campbell has us taking OT/G Evan Neal at 6

Again, we have seen Sam with better OL play. 

Sam has an assortment of massive issues that have nothing to do with OL protection.

That would be awesome if he drops which I kindof doubt
