It's impossible to say this point who might make the best future HC for the Panthers. It's easier to look into the past and say that Ron Rivera is a better HC than Matt Rhule, and that sucks to say. What a disaster.

The horrible suck of this team is sneaking up on us.

Teddy hurt our draft position. Sam cost us critical draft picks and 18m next season. The 2nd and 4th could have been used to fix the o-line, and the 18m could have been used to improve our depth at whichever positions with free agents.

The o-line coach should have been fired 5 times by now.

Stole my gf. I kid.

The Panthers are 32nd in team spending on offense, CMC is often injured, and Teddy's dead cap. We are 23rd in team spending on defense, and Horn in out. This was never going to be a winning season unless Darnold played at a HoF level. He played at a High School level. We're screwed.

Peppers would pluck an interception out of the air while in coverage and take off down the field for pick 6. Looked like a big puma. That was back when we had Jack Del Rio and a badass defense.

Unfortunately the Panthers defense is having trouble lining up properly even recently against Miami. That is why the Panthers defense looks so much worst than their overall talent level. They are confused as to how to line up, and they are unsure about their coverages. That is why Miami ate them alive. One of Miami's TDs came against improper alignment to the point where the defenders in the correct position were triple and double team, while the other side of the line had too many defenders.

That would be a fire zone blitz. We did that a lot under Jon Fox and we dropped Peppers into coverage. I liked it better with Peppers because his sheer size and leaping ability made it hard to throw the ball over him when he dropped into coverage.

I didn't say it was just Darnold. You just attacked a straw man for some reason.

Don't put it past Rhule ant Fitt to do just that. (They're idiots)

The shirt is his actual face.

No means no.

If Teddy were throwing to DJ and Robby this season the stats would be considerably better.

How many times could Burns have been targeted? I don't really care about that stat.

From the Dallas game alone I would think so.

CJ not on the list?

My sources say that Rhule has been given a contract extension to tie him to the Panthers until 2040. My source wants to remain anonymous. There I can do it too.

Sports reporters are known for making up stories that are untrue and then citing an "anonymous source" which is their imagination. They are allowed to make up stories and not get fired or lose their credibility.

Rhule doesn't believe in firing coaches if I'm not mistaken. He'll fight for his coaches to stay.

Pickett reads the field like Darnold. We've got to do better. We can't miss on another QB.

Our biggest accomplishment this season.

We're going to be bad for the next couple of seasons assuming we fail to acquire Watson. What's wrong? Phase one of our rebuild has failed. The first part of our rebuild was to create a top quality defense. We now have the core of our defense in place, and yet our defense can be completely run over and dominated. That means that the defensive rebuild has failed, and next season we'll still have the same core, and that means the defense will still be below average. You can't gut core without completely restating a multi-season rebuild, and if the core can't even stop the run, let alone the pass, then it's essentially over. We're toast. What to do? We can't replace the core of the defense unless we totally reboot and let the current core walk or cut them. That won't happen. That means we have to replace non-core players with other non-core players on defense and hope somehow that works. We don't have the draft picks to add more core players to the defense in this draft, and spending our sole 1st round pick on the defense would be insane. Tinkering and the return of Horn have to produce a better defense, but we can't stop the run, and Horn won't change that. Our offense is better than a few of the worst teams in the NFL, but that's about it. Spending our 1st round pick on a LT will not fix our offense. The core of the offense is already in place. We can add a potential core player on the o-line with the draft, but that won't be anywhere near enough to make the offense even average. Drafting a QB is a possibility, but that means more losing seasons as he learns how to play. Even then, he could be a bust. This is unfixable and I warned of this happening. We NEVER should have started bringing in journeymen veteran QBs. All they do is keep your team out of the top of the NFL draft, and thus you miss out on the top QB prospects. This is how you end up in QB limo, a state where you are not bad enough to draft the top QBs, but not good enough to make the playoffs. This is the last thing you want to happen because there is no end in sight. QB limbo can be maintained for multiple seasons and you end up with zero to show for it. Nothing. No star QB, no trophies, no great memories, nothing. You'll have trouble even remembering the last 3 seasons, or the next 3 seasons. Limbo. Pointless. It doesn't help matters that our coaches are below average. That's bad, but a great QB can make them look good. Now it's over until with get new coaches, or a great QB.
