having a poor offensive line for a season is unfortunate but isn’t going to cost you your job You can easily pass off a number of excuses to your boss ”well it was a rebuild” ”in the salary cap era it’s really hard for teams to field 22 great players” “The Horn injury makes everything look worse” but the kind of colossal and costly misjudgments they’ve made at the QB position can’t be excused or hidden or explained away, and in the NFL, you don’t usually get to make that mistake twice

It’s just a generic thing you say to try and satiate the bloodlust “we have to get better up front” ”we didn’t do a real good job executing” ”we as coaches have to do better” by singling out this one obvious and specific but ultimately small thing and intentionally missing the forest for the trees, you hope to make people look away from the big picture massive misfires that could cost you your job. textbook PR maneuvering

Stupid penalties like that there are why you throw the ball as often as possible

I don’t care about their responses i care about what they actually believe.

“Was it a mistake to picks up Sam darnolds 5th year option before he played a down for you” ”well you look at it as 22 million over two years and….” lol the logic hoops these guys will jump through to justify their poor decisions

Wow.

Oh wow do they? Every single scout? at least you’ve put a timer on your argument, in a week we won’t have to pretend like your argument has any credence anymore.

“guys if I say these prospects aren’t good then they aren’t good! why won’t you dummies listen to me!”

There will be good QBs that come out of this class as there always is. Picking #9 or #11 or #6 is going to yield a similar crop of potential at the QB spot next season. Delaying the inevitable only delays potential success. The last sentence is not only a silly fallacy, but also seems to imply that a top 6 pick is the only way to add OL talent. Opportunities for OTs are always there. Opportunities for QBs are not.

Best part is it doesn’t sound like there’s been any change in the power dynamic, he’ll still wield all the power he’s always had, the only new coaches will be the replacements he needs for the vacancies he created to save his job, and the new OC will be hired to fit into his dated Offensive philosophy. i had no idea Tepper was such a little man. So scared of confrontation that you can’t come in and mandate sweeping ultimatums after that kind of disaster? What a coward. There’ll be nowhere to hide when he has to spearhead the Rhule firing press conference next season.

Fittererer was the driving force behind the Darnold deal. You cannot get Brandon beane’d again. If Morgan is a rising star then you give him the reigns.

It doesn’t matter, acquiring one is a whole lot more difficult than acquiring the other. You take the opportunities to do so when presented to you.

Starting Sam darnold at QB again is not an option and it isn’t going to happen. Furthermore, when the panthers are picking at 9 next season, we are once again going to have to listen to you prattle about how the QB talent just isn’t there and that we should wait another year. At some point you have sack up and face the prospect of drafting a bust. The good news is that if your rookie QB does implode you can simply try again next season, but you have to at least purchase an opportunity at success. There is no opportunity for success with Sam darnold.

Lol you want to put Sam Darnold out there again? That’s your plan? hahahahaha no thanks. Having the same QB from year to year isn’t an ideal to be accomplished if the QB is the leagues worst. What QB will the panthers be able to acquire next offseason? Which QBs will be available? Where will they be drafting? unless you know the answers to those questions then you cannot bypass having a bird in hand.

To be clear, you don’t feel the position is valuable, or you have a well defined and predictable roadmap for acquiring one elsewhere this off-season?

It honestly doesn’t matter. Rhule is a lame duck.

I mean I doubt it but it is abundantly clear that the panthers exist as a vessel for the enhancement of Dave teppers legacy

this is just a dumb take that reeks of something you read on a draft blog and not a legitimate way to build an NFL team calling a franchise QB “gratification” or a “luxury” or whatever other stupid buzzword you weirdoes who live in debilitating fear of a “bust” as if you have some personal investment at stake in this specific pick’s success is just dumb and out of touch with what it takes to win in the current NFL.

who cares? Youve still got to hope that the roster is adequately prepared for the next staff.

Name a player that has developed over the last two seasons. i really can’t. i can name a lot of players that have plateaued, I can name a lot that have regressed.

wow what a really novel insight into the mind of player evaluations anyways, setting isms aside and getting back to how teams actually operate the draft.

David tepper is a coward if he doesn’t march out in front of that podium and take the heat for this, there’s no excuse left for bringing rhule back other than the money you’d have to pay him to go away

If the panthers use the 6 overall pick on a center then I honestly hope they just move the team somewhere else not that i expect it. Most of the time once the coaches start getting involved in the scouting process you start to see a change at the top of the draft and guys like that begin to fall. Probably likely that the center doesn’t go until the 20’s.

It’s a failure to understand where the panthers are at as an organization. whomever the scouting department projects as the best QB. I’ve said that several times now.
