Firing Rule won't change anything until the off-season . Not sure what the hurry is for. We will still have a crappy coaching staff and a horrible QB even when Rhule is gone 

It's not about this season. This season is basically already lost.

Pretty much everyone can see Rhule needs to go. There's no real point in keeping him longer.

There is something Tepper can gain by letting him go early, though.

Rhule would be immediately available to interview for college jobs, and if he gets one Tepper would no longer have to pay him.

And we can start researching the next HC. Poor form to do it while you still have one, but once he’s gone you can start the search for the next HC. And potential HCs will be thinking of Carolina as a definite opening rather than a possible one. There’s no benefit to keeping him other than possibly worsening our draft pick because Wilks or whoever might win a game or two that Rhule wouldn’t.

I was thinking he'd win a couple more games out of these first few and survive until December, but no point in that. The only risk is an interim HC winning games, which I'm fine with if it comes to that. Would rather have some semblance of momentum and excitement heading into next year...

4 offensive TDs in 4 games (2 by the defense) is such a glaring reflection of where we are at in year three of the Rhule era. We've regressed. Firing him won't necessarily equate to less losses, but it does recalibrate the locker room and direction.

Rhule is a lame duck. Year three was a "hot seat" year to see if he truly had turned a corner with his shiny new toys (McAdoo, Campen, Baker, Ekonwu) and a healthy CMC. Nope.

Byeeeeeeeeeeee. Let's cut this sh*t show and look forward to '23. Hopefully trade Robby, Shaq and Donte along the way, lock in the #1 pick for Stroud and begin the slow climb back to relevance. I'm hoping for Flores or Payton as HC....no more college coaches.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
