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.

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.

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)

    • We don't need to know what % was his fault last year because it was all bad enough to know to not sign up for more of it. Look at the stuff he was directly responsible for being the point man on, the pro-personnel, and the stuff he was involved in should tell you enough. If you have to discount it to make it look better than you already knew the answer. It's just making excuses for all of those people. Hoping something changes while discounting the work they already done here has proven to be a losing strategy every time so far. Maximus Copius Bulshitetus i think is the Latin name for that phenonium. 
    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
