Everyone wants Rhule gone but, what if

[DaveThePanther2008]

I've always been a optimistic person when it comes to the Panthers.  Each year regardless of what the reality may become I have to hope and pray that when the season starts we are going to be relevant.   So here goes.

Rhule may have come to his senses with the hiring of an upgraded coaching staff.

McAdoo - We have the talent on offense to be good. McAdoo is an experienced OC and should be able to do what Brady couldn't and that was halftime adjustments. If he is competent we might just score enough points and be in many more games.  

Of all the hires this is my favorite. I think Campen is going to get our offensive line straight.  i think in 2022 we'll see our 2021 rookies actually play and be productive.  If Fitterer can get us an offensive linemen or two that has performed well this past season. (no reclaimation projects) Campen could turn our worst group into something respectable.

Wilks did a great job when he was here before as a DB coach.  This time around he has better talent.   Teaming up with Snow could make our defense better than 2021. 

If we draft a QB than we allow him to sit behind Darnold and Cam (yes i hope we resign him to be on the team in 2022, I'm done with the PJ Walker trial).  Let Cam and Darnold battle it out in preseason to see who starts.

If we draft a lineman I would rather go with Linderbaum and get a stud at center and let Christensen play LT.   Maybe even trade down a couple of spots and grab an additional pick or two and still get Linderbaum.

I know many things must fall into place to bring this team back to contention but we have Rhule for one more season.  Might as well hope for the best.

Who knows maybe 2021 was an eye opener and he actually can be a good coach.   (hears the entire huddle explode)  But just maybe.

Thoughts and prayers.

His hiring of of staff this time around has been refreshing. It does appear (if it is him making these hires) he is learning from his mistakes. With that says he would need a really solid year to not be fired after year 3. Too many better coaches are only given 2 years. I just don’t see how he can upgrade this line AND get a better QB this year and that’s probably going to be what it takes…

It would probably have to be the perfect storm for him to get everything right this time around.

Yeah either Sam makes a big leap with better OL (which I don’t see happening) or BC shines at LT, we hit on a FA OL, and acquire a QB through trade or draft that shows promise… (which I also don’t see happening). Not impossible, but it doesn’t look good at all…

There’s no more optimism left for me with this team until RHULE IS FIRED!

Optimists are an endangered species around here lately.  I'm an optimist too.  I always think things can get better.  I like the coaching upgrades. 

If we can trade back and grab Linderbaum, Dean or Lloyd - than use the extra draft capital to pick up a solid Guard, we would be in decent shape.

Then if CMC is back and healthy - we might even be in the playoff mix.

This type of hiring should have happened in year one. Not now. Period. .

[Waldo]

Too little too late. Do it how you do anyways, this team with marginally better coaching (Wilks is the only positive I see) still has an idiot in charge and an owner that has no idea about the operational stuff at all. If this was Rhule's day 1 staff it would be a bad staff in the NFL. 

It's not about optimism or pessimism on this subject for me, two years of painful failures and zero reasons to give this crew anything resembling optimism moving forward. My hope is reserved for not doing this crap again next year and Tepper stepping up and doing something right on the operations side for once.

Better late than never right? I agree 100% though.

This is the correct response. Continuing with the village idiot will just continue to set this franchise back multiple years. 

[LinvilleGorge]

This is reminiscent of the "hope" last year that Darnold's issues were all due to Adam Gase and the Jets. We were getting a steal on a franchise QB and he'd go downfield and put the ball in the endzone unlike Teddy.

How's that working out?
