What older players? The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL. There's almost no players on this roster nearing the end of their careers. Stephon Gilmore doesn't count, he was a one year rental and I doubt he is back. I get it sucks as a fan though. I feel the same way.

I think at this point it's safe to say David Tepper doesn't give a f*ck about what the fans think. We haven't heard a peep out of him in months and that guy loves to hear himself talk. You have to think he's embarrassed and he's not someone who is used to dealing with that. His silence says it all to me.

I think he's smart enough to do a cost benefit analysis. He would be competing against a quarter of the NFL for a new head coach right now. Firing Matt Rhule right now would cost him tens of millions and the Panthers have a poorly built roster. Tepper saves millions rolling with Rhule for one more season and could end up with the #1 overall draft pick next season and a more attractive head coaching destination. It's not farfetched to think that's the reason plain and simple. Rhule sucks but Tepper might be willing to swallow another losing season to save money now and compete for a better head coach next offseason. There's good head coaching candidates every year.

Part of the reason he's not firing Rhule could be for this reason. The Panthers are near the bottom in terms of desirable head coaching destinations.

The fact that Tepper and his PR team even allowed this bumbling moron to go on this radio show makes me think Tepper is still undecided whether he's going to fire him. He's letting Rhule go out and make a fool of himself to further justify the move. We haven't heard a single thing from Tepper yet and that guy isn't shy about running his mouth.

Another bad firing. Culley had that team competitive with a rookie QB and a garbage roster that was gutted by the previous regime. Totally nuts to fire a guy like that. There's tons of bad decisions happening across the NFL. Sad to say the Panthers not firing Matt Rhule is another one.

I was never against trading for Darnold. He was a young QB on a bad team and it was worth the gamble. Everything else they did is what I have an issue with. Picking up his 5th year $19m option before he played a down with the team, not bringing in a competent veteran backup or rookie to compete with him, not properly investing in the OL to protect him. So yea, trading for Darnold itself wasn't a bad move. They just did nothing else to support that move.

Have you ever heard of the saying “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”

The problem is that plenty of fans from opposing teams are more than willing to give him their hard earned money to watch their favorite team kick the ever living snot out of the sorry ass Panthers

Fitterer ties

He should hire Darrell Bevell he just did that in Jacksonville lol

https://www.panthers.com/about-us/contact-us Just wondering if anyone has made their voices heard to the team? I am getting ready to write up an email to the team expressing my displeasure with the team performance this season and my surprise the team is retaining Matt Rhule. I know it will probably go into a spam box and remain unread. Or some intern will glance at it and trash it. But if enough of us write the team, maybe something will happen. They have to know the fans are not pleased despite the blatant misinformation being pumped by NFL media sources and local news outlets.

That's the only question I want him to answer.

6. Why did you give a coach who was 0-11 against ranked teams a salary among the top 10 NFL head coaches?

They re-signed him to a big contract and dude checked the f*ck out. Not the kind of player I want to root for. Hope his ass gets traded.

Tepper doesn’t know how to build a winning team. Full stop. The team has made horrible football decisions left and right since he took over. Starting with hiring Matt Rhule who has been nothing short of the fraud I expected him to be. He’s not going to magically turn this team around next year. He’s a bad coach and he needs to be fired immediately. David Tepper is showing us he is committing to bad results for another season.

I guess you think we just aren’t able to see the progress of the product on the field. 2-12 in the last 14 games though what a ride!

Clete Blakeman is a crooked ref /thread

These are all terrible reasons to keep a fraud like Matt Rhule. Get rid of him ASAP. Stop the f*cking bleeding. Any hungry young coach worth his salt would jump at the chance to lead a team. Tepper made a HUGE mistake hiring Rhule. He guaranteed Rhule so much money that he doesn’t even need to try to field a winning team. Let alone I don’t think he’d be capable of it if he tried his best. There needs to be an NFL qualified up-and-comer brought in ASAP. Rams OC Kevin O’Connell is just that kind of guy for example.

He was 0-11 vs ranked teams at Baylor too. He’s always sucked. The fact he’s still the coach is mind numbingly stupid.

They don’t know what they’re doing. What they say and what they do have been two very different things.

Watch Rhule interview the Baylor women's tennis coach for the OL position

I’ve never seen the fanbase so united

So to me it looks like there are 3 quality players on offense and the rest can be replaced. CMC, Moore, and Moton. And it’s god damned depressing that two of the offenses best players were drafted by DAVE GETTLEMAN for Christ sake

I don't like how he calls draft picks "gold" but dumped 3 of them for Sam Darnold.
