Our offense is a hot mess. It's predictable. It's elementary. Its boring. There is nothing dangerous about it other than causing someone to fall asleep on the job. I know they say replacing an OC mid-season and implementing a new offense is difficult but how hard is it to upgrade this mess and implement some new schemes. McAdoo ain't it. This isn't a knee jerk reaction thread. I'm serious. How hard would it be to implement a new offensive scheme or get a new OC to expand the one we have? I realize getting anyone here would be very difficult given our current situation. But we can't keep doing this if we want anyone to not request a trade out of this hot mess.

It also has to do with his weight loss this year to be more effective. He was never really going to be a run stuffer dlineman.

After watching years of great offensive lines playing elsewhere, it's time we finally learned to invest in our own. We should be drafting at least 1 interior lineman every year. We should be drafting a tackle every 2-3 to make sure we have a backup we can rely on to play swing tackle or if one moves on in FA. It looks like we have a line. Now we need to find a fugging QB.

Passing is important but run game sets the attitude for offensive linemen. Run blocking is fun. Being able to establish that attitude always makes it easier. Finishing games running all over guys is fun. It's just the attitude and we haven't had a were going to dominate you attitude in too long.

This team has lost its swag, especially from 2015 Cam. It has no identity. I don't care if we lose the rest of the season, I want the identity of this football team back. Ground, pound, and hit you so hard you think twice about coming across the middle again.

Always here to help.

Cowboys will crush her dreams week 18 needing 1 win to secure a playoff spot with a field goal and 2 score lead then fumble the snap, defense recovers and scampers 68 yards for a TD to end yet another's season of hopes and dreams.

If I had to guess what dirt he has it involves players long term health, especially concussions, and fixing games.

Go listen to his BLeav podcast. Dude drops some serious knowledge. I've gone back and listened to most of his podcasts from the past year just because I like hearing him talk football.

Dude, everyone knows pancakes are superior to waffles for breakfast. They fold like a soft taco shell to stack your bacon, sausage and eggs complete with shredded cheese.

Are you saying he had an ample chest like someone else the Panthers are familiar with?

I live out in the PNW and RW was not well liked. He was seen as an egotistical asshole that held the franchise back after his SB win because his way was best. They're happy to have moved on and got better production out of Geno who is a better fit in what Carroll wants to do.

So did you notice that madden isn't in the break room anymore...

It's hard to know who was in charge of what because Rhule was a micromananger with his hands in everything. There were rumors that some of Rhules power was taken away during the off-season and we appear to have made some better choices. There was no direction in the HC office and that's clearly evident by the way the roster was handled. Hell, Dunlap wanted to come here but Fitts couldn't promise him a starting role because of Rhule's stupid camp competitions. Rhule loved reclamation projects. Notice how many of the trades involved reclamation projects Rhule thought he could fix. You could tell Fitts was done with Rhule at last year's end of season presser.

Most of it was on Steve Wilks, the kind of coach he is, the kind of man he is, and the kind of intensity he brings. Mentioned how he looked forward to his locker room speeches and he thinks he could be the guy for Carolina. Also mentioned that he thinks that bringing in Wilks and Holcomb was planned for this very reason which would go with the rumor Wilks wasn't necessarily a Rhule choice. You could hear the excitement in his voice. He talked some about Rhule and the locker room, but nothing extremely negative about the man. Thinks he's a great college coach but transitioning from college to the pros is completely different, recruitment vs FA, and his staff just didn't have enough experience.

If you check out his BLeav podcast he did a pretty in depth discussion on this topic already. Worth the listen.

If we're going to move anyone, Burns makes the most sense. Could likely get 2 1sts and a mid rounder for him and don't have to pay that huge contract. If Tepper is planning to go after Payton he will need that ammo. Also, if we're doing a rebuild, 2 1sts in this coming draft and 2 in the next would help a lot.

He's right and wrong. Yes the rest of the division is getting good QB play. But they are also scheming to get that QB play. Wentz isn't playing great but they need to scheme him to make that offense better.

Tepper hired a college coach and gave him complete roster control. He allowed him to hire an almost entirely college staff with no NFL experience. He chased a QB with dozens of allegations of sexual misconduct, had our cap completely restructured to make room, and left us in QB limbo all for a guy that had no intentions of ever coming to Charlotte. Not to mention how much what it would have done to the fan base bringing that type of guy here just for the sake of winning. He ignored all the signs last year that Rhule needed to be fired. We missed out on some good candidates for HC because he couldn't see what us common fans did. Rhule was a micromanaging BS artist that wasn't good enough for the NFL. That's not good ownership.

I'm really curious if he makes it through the season, what he can do when he is allowed to select players who aren't multiple positions guys with high RAS scores. It seems like a lot of guys Matt made him target were guys he thought he could elevate. That's just not a winning formula when everyone else is already top of their game.

Was kind of my thought as well, especially when "the brand" was put up. If you want to alienate a lot of players and fans, try getting rid of something and someone who meant so much to this franchise.

You forgot competent owner. Looks like we don't have one of those right now either.

Not to mention he trucked Gould.

That's some funny poo right there.
