All of my ire is on Tepper. Rhule was put in a position he wasn't prepared for or ready for. He failed miserably but he'll I told y'all that was probably gonna happen from the get go. 😂

This. There's not a chance anyone here would turn down life-altering money from a billionaire determined to give it to you.

Anyway, I'm personally happy for him. The NFL wasn't for him, and Rhule did unequivocally fail at the QB position. He also failed at surrounding himself with coaches with NFL experience early on.

However, there are some revisionists here that won't give him credit for anything. Objectively, the Panthers had the worst roster in the NFL when Rhule took over. And now, outside of QB (although it obviously is the most important position), this roster is in much better shape. To the point where this team is in playoff contention with even close to average QB play.

My historical comparison I hope holds is the Sefiert to Fox transition. Seifert came in with a lot of fanfare and was an utter failure like Rhule in many respects, but in retrospect Seifert's roster building and drafts, especially the last (Morgan, Jenkins, Smith) really set the team up for success under a better coach in Fox.

Regardless, this chapter is over. Maybe its the homer in me, but I do hope there is something positive that comes out of this for both sides. 

And Tepper isn't going to miss the money one way or the other.

Can't wait to see their fans melt down in three seasons when they haven't turned it around.

probably would have been easier to have "success" at Colorado, especially with USC and UCLA joining the big 10.

Easier conference, recruiting territories don't really matter anymore, a winning record gets him a statue built. Plus he's already resurrected one program that was destroyed by rampant sexual abuse scandals. 

Rhule's bullshit church youth group thing will go over well at Nebraska though, that might buy him some time.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      Todd McShay @McShay13 · Follow So the @Titans have respectfully cancelled private workouts with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, making it all but official they will take Cam Ward No. 1. And now I’m starting to hear more and more about Hunter to Cleveland at No. 2. That would mean Abdul Carter vs. Shedeur Show more 2:19 PM · Apr 5, 2025

      I'm seeing Walker in many, if not MOST, of the more recent mocks for the Panthers.  Here's my problem, He's not a tackling machine and that's what you want out of an ILB.  He's a 'tweener.  Are we playing him inside or outside?  Sack production is 'meh' for the outside, not so much a QB terror  and inside he's not a ball hound.   This is culminating to be a typical Panthers pick.  You see how 'tweeners end up here with the mismanagement of Jeremy Chinn.

      Yes, this same logic could also be used for every player on our roster and practice squad. I wouldn't include basically any of them in the "potential core player" category as I basically outlined it. I don't see him that way because he was a rotational player and I am not sure he will be more than that here.  If I am wrong and he really flourishes here, great. That contract will make a lot more sense and I will have more faith in Dan & Co.
