If you don't know which writers are on the franchise's payroll, Google is your friend.

I don't care what they say to be honest. I have other news sources. I think that it would be appropriate if they at least report on, if not address, that many fans aren't happy. As for chants during football or basketball contests, I don't have any problem with it. I don't see it as rude or classless. It comes with the territory. Honestly, it's fairly benign, if not hilarious. I've seen worse. No one attacked Rhule's family. He just needs to man up. If he doesn't want "fire Rhule" chants, he needs to improve at his job, not have the appearance of being a douche, and be more honest with fans.

You people aren't even trying to be objective anymore. Don't lie.

I mean, is that Rhule or Tepper?

It manifests in real life by the fact that you haven't heard a peep about it anywhere else from the Panthers organization. Rhule making some general off-the-cuff, half-joking comments about how he can't take his family to a Hornets game really isn't addressing the scope of fans' and other independent media sources' criticism of him, up to calling for his job.

Rhule isn't a spin doctor, he's the HC. It's the spin doctors' job to toe the party line. They're supposed to put him in the best light as possible, including basically ignoring all the negativity cast about him by fans, analysts and even ex-players.

I don't know if he can be the LT, but Ickey sounds like he checks most of these boxes.

Rhule could probably learn something from this vid for sure. He needs to basically change his perspective about what will make an O-linemen successful, draft people who have shown to put in extra work, make sure the line coach knows how to coach technique and preaches details, is able to identify areas where each specific lineman needs improvement and able to communicate that to the players, and, last, but not least, get players with that nasty streak who enjoy hitting people. That's what I came away with.

I'll give you the fact that there's a lot of speculation based on the hypothetical of what I already told you; his fate largely depends upon whether he can win the Super Bowl. That being said, I don't believe that the odds are in his favor. And still, there is way more information to the contrary based upon what's actually going on if you're to believe other insiders and people who know the team. https://www.nfl.com/news/49ers-plan-to-trade-jimmy-garoppolo-start-trey-lance-in-2022

I can see why fans would and wouldn't want Jimmy G. He's been tabbed as essentially a game manager who hasn't proven that he can put the team on his shoulders and raise everyone's level of play. He's also a winner though, whose stats for the most part are an improvement upon Teddy's, an obviously a huge improvement upon Darnold's. I am not averse to obtaining Jimmy G. I also wasn't against acquiring Teddy or Sammy. The problem was what our FO decided to give up--sacrifice--to acquire the two. If they're going to make stupid decisions regarding the money, structure and/or length of the contract, then they shouldn't explore Garropolo. If they can be sensible, then Garropolo could be a good bridge QB until we can do better. I don't think he'll be a Panther at the end of the day regardless. I believe that some other franchise ahead of us on the curve to legitimately competing will be a better fit for him.

The Panthers spin doctors may be able control the info coming from Mint St., but I trust that they've learned that they have no control over social media. We're going to let our perspective about Rhule be known, and that's our right.

You guys are going out on a limb. Just saying. I've heard entirely different for weeks.

Garropolo has already had his big payday. Short of winning the Super Bowl, he's not going to stay in San Fran, and he's not going to get anywhere near $35 mil per because his body of work doesn't command that type of money. His status all hinges upon what happens in the coming days. Nothing else really makes sense.

They'd move him because he doesn't want to be there and play second fiddle. Also, "steep" is relative.

For me, it's all about the price. Jimmy G is not great, but he's not below average. He's also a far cry from what we have now.

Six!

The distinction between "retool" and "rebuild" and whether we did it voluntarily or involuntarily matters not. We appear to be fuged at the moment. Even if we believe otherwise, the best thing for us as fans is to hope that Tepper and Rhule are the smartest dudes in the room. What I plan to do is set my expectations at an all-time low and watch the show. I don't know how long and rough this ride will be, but hopefully I'll still be around and healthy enough to appreciate the team when we get back on track.

Not crying about extra football.

I'm surely not pining over Perryman. The motherfuger didn't want to be here. He flipped the switch. His whole tone changed once he got to Nevada. fug that dude!

I'm not gonna lie. Any day the Cowboys lose in the playoffs is a good day.

The 49er may have been the better team, but the Cowboys helped do themselves in with dumb penalties.

Deebo is nice, but he's also had his injuries. I don't think he had the stop-start acceleration or quicks that CMC does. If healthy, I'm taking CMC all day long.

Well that goes for most women. That's why makeup and cosmetics is a multi billion dollar business.

Hell, he's had too much of a vacay...
