Yeah it was definitely an “oh poo” moment. He knew he shouldn’t had said that. It was a media speak blunder. 
 

im pretty sure the panthers PR team has been telling this staff “don’t let the media create a circus around our QB situation” this whole off-season.

What’s even funnier is that Rhule followed up with expressing his disappointment that McAdoo named Darnold the starter last week because he should be the one to name the starter.

No he didn’t…. “Ben made a statement about the starting quarterback and that got retracted out of respect for me. I should state the starting QB”

 

zero disappointment and smiling the whole time.

It’s scary to think some of you guys are in the real world making inaccurate assumptions about people that you come across. 
 

Fitterer was obviously disappointed he made that statement. And I haven’t seen Rhule be this professional interacting with the media since his introduction to the team.

Please… the smiling was him covering up his disappointment. He felt that McAdoo undermined him which he probably did. I personally wouldn’t put that out in the media though.

i doubt it was undermining ... Ben has always been horrible with media, worse than Rhule. I dont think the QB narrative is something being driven by Rhule but rather the Panthers PR. They dont want the unnecessary media attention.

If it was truly a mistake then they don’t need to put McAdoo in front of the camera. I can see why Rhule would be upset… I mean he’s the HC. I just wouldn’t have made the comment he did in the interview about the whole respect thing.

the expression Fitter had was like "..I can't believe I just said that, this guy isn't going to be good.."

What else could that have meant?

If he didn't have confidence in Corral, he'd have drafted someone else. There were other options, Sam Howell for one.

This theory is stupid.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
