F*ck you.

Might as well go ahead and add Sam Darnold to that list

He was out of the NFL for two years in 2018-2019. He was QB coach on the 2020 Jaguars who went 1-15. He interviewed for the QB coach position on the Panthers in both 2020 and 2021 and did not get it. Let’s keep putting lipstick on this pig and polishing this turd though.

It feels like the Panthers have been pushed outside the NFL circle since David Tepper bought the team. I have a feeling the other NFL owners don’t really respect David. He’s the newest owner and he came from more humble beginnings. He blew up the coaching pay scale when he hired Matt Rhule and I can’t imagine the other owners were happy about that. Jerry Richardson was the opposite, having been an NFL player and bringing the Panthers to life in the first place, he was well liked by the other owners. Tepper seems to gravitate to NFL outsiders, and maybe that’s not by choice. Matt Rhule had one year experience in the NFL, as an assistant offensive line coach. Most of the coaching staff under Matt Rhule had minimal NFL experience. And now Ben McAdoo becomes the offensive coordinator, and guy who spent several seasons out of the NFL entirely after being fired by the Giants. He was a guy who couldn’t even get a QB coach position on the Panthers after the disaster that was the 2020 Jaguars offense. For better or worse, the David Tepper owned Panthers don’t seem to be running in the same circles as the rest of the NFL. It’s gonna take a long time to fix this mess.

That says a lot about the quality of people who wanted to interview for the job.

of the candidates they interviewed, maybe. but that's not saying anything at all. /thread

I've always had a love/hate relationship with the Panthers but right now it's 100% hate and no love. I don't like anyone who works for the front office or coaching staff, I don't like most of the players, and I especially don't like the owner. What is there to be a fan of anymore? Bleak times.

"He's the only guy we could hire who looks more like a certified pervert than me so it was a no-brainer."

I'm expecting none of the people involved with the franchise right now to be here in 2 years.

Everyone involved with the Panthers from the owner down are a bunch fo ridiculously overpaid losers who have no idea what they are doing. Ben McAdoo is a clown. Matt Rhule is a fraud. David Tepper is an arrogant yankee who knows nothing about building a winning football team. Scott Fitterer should have stuck to baseball. Dan Morgan has too much brain damage to run a team. I hate the Panthers right now. I can't be a fan of any of these people.

I’d throw a used jizz towel at Deshaun Watson if we traded for him.

The Panthers will probably vomit their way to 1 or 2 wildcard berths this decade but otherwise be a flaming pile of trash. The people in charge don’t know how to identify winning traits in coaches or players

Nothing novel in this article

Would be a good hire if the Falcons hired him

only thing I wonder is did he intentionally take a year off after the disaster that was the 2020 Jaguars or is there just not a lot of interest in him

At least there’s a semblance of competency here

are you f*cking serious with this comparison?

it's gonna be another 12 months of this until he gets fired

The schedule isn’t as favorable next season. I don’t think the Panthers will find themselves anywhere close to the playoff picture all season.

The only thing that would surprise me would be anything resembling competence from the Panthers organization.

No one legitimate wants to work for a fraud like Matt Rhule.

Lol what a sh*tshow. Clown team.

Getting Sam Darnold and his $19m salary off the books would be a huge victory. F*cking idiots. They'd probably have to trade an asset to get some other team to eat that salary. What a joke.

I don't know how much is guaranteed exactly. But it was a 7 year $62m contract that included $6m to buyout his Baylor contract. And I guarantee given what Tepper had to do to pluck him from Baylor, there would have to be a buyout to terminate the contract.
