Best comment in this thread. He needs to coach his way out of the hole he created without any further damage. That’s if he can, which isn’t likely. He would need to hire new offensive and defensive cords. I know the defensive coordinator idea isn’t as popular but I thunk we can do better.

I think that’s most peoples thought process. Donte keeps playing at his current level with his tackles for loss, speed combined with his age he will probably be the top free agent CB . If that happens I rather take Gilmore for around a 3 year.

Good post I hope Gilmore #9 can erase #17

Maaaan whatever Sam sucks. We had threads complaining about PJ and how he couldn’t get it done. PJ played well and Sam is a dud. A rich dud but a dud.

Facts! I just hope he can get up to speed with the offense for WFT.

CMC opens up the offense and hides our deficiencies on the offensive line. Our lineman were getting beat like a drum in the first three games but the quick outlet passes prevented the sacks. We seemed to have finally have found a complimentary 2nd option out of the backfield with Abdullah also. We will stick with the run and use quick passes in this game with an occasional downfield shot. Defensively I hope we begin to see that top 5 unit shining through with Gilmore locking down one side.

Quarterbacks know they need time to go through their progressions. I don’t think it’s the market. Players love Charlotte. As a quarterback you want a fair chance at success and our line doesn’t provide that.

He is even improving his kickoff depth.

We talk about our luck lately but I’m glad we picked up DJ over Calvin mainly due to his availability. I pray Ridley is okay but to miss two games due to a personal matter seems extreme. I hope all is okay with his family.

Quarterback play is Rhule’s to own. He released Cam for a lesser quarterback. He was unhappy with Teddy’s play as we all were ( unable to throw deep ball but accurate) and traded away draft capital for a lesser quarterback. I get it Darnold has a higher ceiling than Teddy but he also has a lower floor. Last 4 weeks we have gotten the floor and the head ball coach needs to own that.

Call me a bit of a pessimist on this but I don’t think a former defensive player of the year (2 years removed) would be willing to make a position change in the final year of a contract he was already unhappy with. Absolutely love the idea for the team. Sounds great but……. He’d personally be crazy to do it as a player especially when the open market would pay him so much more at corner.

Exactly. Claim to be a staff that takes an analytical approach yet we abandon analytics in the draft and take the shiny flashy pick that has the least impact on each snap.

Agreed while Rhule has made mistakes the roster just isn’t complete. Anyone expecting us to rebuild and be 5-1 in year 2 hasn’t given Rhule his fair shot. Our team roster just isn’t deep either. Arguably 3 of our most valuable players are injured in CMC,Shaw and Horn. We are 6 games into a 17 game season. Read some of the posts and you would think we are 3- 12.

I don’t understand what happened on the long ball. Maybe it’s a lack of practice or repetition? I remember Darnold being money with USC, and the Jets on the long ball. Decision making was questionable at times at USC. The pressure up the middle could possibly have Darnold antsy and incapable of properly stepping into throws. Just a guess based on the elements.

Yes I agree with you, but the frustrating part is this regimes claim to use and follow analytics and fail on so many levels for an injury like this. No reason he should have been practicing on a limited basis the very next week after the injury. I truly believe if they put him on the IR 3 weeks ago he would be playing this week due to adequate rest.
