I find this kind of interesting...

By taking Ikem Ekwonu at 6, the Panthers have now taken the first overall defensive player in a draft (Pick 8, 2021, Horn), followed by the first overall offensive player in a draft (Pick 6, 2022, Ekwonu) while not even being in the top-5.  

A good indicator we could have a nice foundation in place that feels a bit separate from those twilight Rivera years.  

Between Burns, Chinn, Brown (hoping for a good 22'), YGM, Ekwonu, & Horn, it could be an appealing crew for a new coach come next season.

Rhule would have to totally bomb to be fired come next season. I believe Tepper when he stated that Rhule has his full support.

I don't.  I think we will have to show some actual improvement.  If we end next year as poorly as we have the last two seasons, zero reason to think that Rhule is actually building anything.

"Actual improvement" is a matter of perspective, and Dave Tepper essentially said as much during his presser.

For you, maybe not, but for Tepper it just may be. I don't necessarily think that you can put a number on it. Everyone wants to win and win now, but Tepper seems to have a little more patience and perspective than your average fan.

Lmao, if somehow we did get to this threshold, Tepper has thus far proven to be a coward when it comes to holding Rhule accountable. Obviously small sample size, but Rhule 1000% should have been fired after last year. Since that didn’t happen, it’s anybody’s guess.  Rhule might get his 7 year Jay-Z wish, while we lust after the Jets and Browns relative success

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
