Has Rhule ever hit the over?

It won't make a difference.

I read the article and it also said this :

The NFL already has a chip in every football, but it uses those chips only for its Next Gen Stats tracking data, and not for officiating. That’s because the chips in the middle of every ball just aren’t accurate enough to locate where a football is to the inch. The data works fine as a good approximation of where the ball is, give or take the length of one football. But it doesn’t tell you whether a third down play just barely picked up the first down, or whether the offense should be facing fourth-and-inches.

 

So unless they create footballs that have chips located at the tips of either side as well as the middle (which will be very costly to make), I don't foresee the NFL going this route.

it's not like better tech doesn't exist. they're using the less accurate tech because it's good enough for it's current purpose. when you're just tracking general stats being off a few inches is fine.

still, there's tech that exists to be accurate down to a fraction of a centimeter. WAY more accurate than having a ref spot the ball. they definitely could implement this if they wanted.

i'm all for it, watching a ref just give away an extra yard and a half and a free first down is some serious BS.

Going by the "official" trade value chart 29 + 30 + 50 are almost exactly the same value as 6. Numbers wise it's a fair trade. I'd probably do it, though I'd try to get them to throw in a future 3rd as well.

Missing out on a top player would suck, but you're looking at 3 pretty early draft picks. The Panthers aren't one player away from winning a championship (or even two or three) so it makes sense.

I wonder what the huddle would look like if we got Watson and he decided to keep Rhule

PFF - best and worst 2021 NFL free agent signings

WORST

 

OC/OG Pat Elflein, signed with the Panthers for three years, $11.5 million

Another of the curious moves the Panthers made last offseason was prioritizing Elflein and Cam Erving during the first days of free agency, bringing in two players who had an extensive history of sub-par play along the offensive line. Neither player exceeded expectations in Year 1, as Elflein played just 534 snaps and earned a 42.0 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 50.1 overall mark. Elflein accrued multiple games with a PFF grade under 30, and he earned below-average marks as a run-blocker in every game except one. 

"won" the award for worst signing last offseason

off to early favorites this year with the Ian Thomas deal

what a clown show

It's a double whammy. Not only are there no QBs worth taking at 6, but the Panthers are much less likely to get a huge offer from teams wanting to trade up.

I've stopped paying attention to who Carolina drafts, signs in free agency or even how they do in games.

From here on out I'm just using them as an excuse to tailgate, eat BBQ, drink beer and avoid family/responsibilities.

Panthers go 6-11 and win the division

Blown out in the first round of the playoffs

Rhule brought back for another year

Picking around #20 in the draft

Bucs fans right now

I'd be pretty miserable too if I lived in Detroit.

there are some solid options in the 2nd 3rd

uhh yeah about that

Rough day for all those bandwagon Steelers fans that wouldn't be able to point out Pittsburgh on a map. Too bad, so sad.

I could understand the logic of picking up 8 yards. Clock it. Then have a short enough field for your QB to use his arm strength and rifle it into a window.

But Dak ran too far and ate too much clock. 

It's really not worth the risk when all you stand to gain is 8 yards.

You could throw a quick out to the sidelines for those same 8 yards, while risking essentially nothing. Or just go ahead and start taking shots at the end zone.

That's what EVERY other coach in the world is going to do in that situation. I don't even think Rhule would have been this stupid.

We're only in year 2 of a 12 year rebuild, be patient guys.

I thought our last draft was very good, and he also did a great job of working the draft board.

Our pro scouting needs a major overhaul though.

Trade down, then trade down again. Get a late 1st and a couple 2nd rounders. Draft all interior OLine, then roll with Christensen and Moton at OT. That gives you a really young OLine to build around for many years. Then add a solid vet at QB through FA.

Having to routinely fire people is a good indicator of poor management.

We are stuck with him next season either as a stater or a backuo. Get use to it. 

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Rhule won in college. 

beating South West Harris Teeter Community College doesn't count

I'll say this, if they don't fix the OLine, it won't matter who the coach is.

I called it when he was first hired that he wouldn't last longer than 2 years. Even so, to get fired in less than a year is kind of impressive in a way.

Why would any QB want to come here. With the state of our OLine, it's not even about winning championships or not. It's about not wanting your body to get beat to hell and needing a cane to stumble your cripple ass around at the age of 45.

You're not missing anything

finally we've found a job rhule is qualified for
