Matt Rhule was asked about any pressure he might feel heading into his third year. Said he’s just focused on having a “good combine” after having put together his staff. Every head coach feels pressure to win. That's why they put in the hours and the work that they do. Can't let outside perspectives change how they want to do things.

Say what ya want, literally nothing has changed from the moment he was attained last year. Was a 1 year lease for a player that doesn't fit very many defenses. He predictably had another good year, and is going to test the market, to see his value. This doesn't always mean he's gone.

Omg. Ya didn't even listen. Yes, he said Riddick has earned the right to test the market, but that they intend to keep communication open, and to see if they'll match an offer. Yes, he may be gone, we knew that the day he was signed last year. Doesn't mean we don't stand a chance of retaining him, as they intend to keep communication open.

Either way. Horn, while ultimately isn't whom I wanted, wasn't my first two choices either. And several teams also felt it was to early for slater, not that I would have minded slater. This board was,, WTF.

Most of us, myself included, was upset we didn't pick slater last year. Which on most board would have been a reach. How did you feel when we picked horn over slater?

Actually, it's a pretty good position to be in, and to be able to groom a young talent before throwing him to the wolves. I know it's uncommon these days, but that's how it use to be done.

Think we can all use that.

It could be he's honoring his end of the argument with Rhule. It takes time. We saw progress the first season, and the second was not, so in the eyes of us fans, we're going backwards. Most wholesale system changes take 3 years. Perhaps he's just allowing Rhule that time. It's the opposite of what we see in the rest of the league, because so many owners are willing to rip coaches out a year or 2 into a process that takes longer. I'm not advocating for Rhule, just trying to make sense of it all.

I honestly don't think Rhule even has self preservation thought process. He could easily go back to being overpaid at the college level.

I truly want to know whether Tepper really thinks it's a good idea to bring a player here that doesn't want to be here. I can't fathom he is that stupid, although the huddle sure paints him that way.

Bringing Watson here when he doesn't want to be here would be the worse thing Tepper could do.

Look what Watson has done to the Texans, because he doesn't wish to play for them. And anybody wants him here when he doesn't want to be? fug, what a joke.

We've been worse.

No rock star OC was hired. Just an NFL proven one, and not one any of the fans wanted. So I'm not buying he had to do anything but at some proven NFL experience to the coaching staff, which is something us fans wanted from the beginning. At this point, it just see how it comes together. Quality coaching has been added to the team. It's time for them to fix the online, so whomever is taking snaps, doesn't get killed.

That's all the huddle needs now days.

Reading the huddle is like reading a full on conspiracy theory website.

No other Panther QB was a better leader of men.

That's quite the assumption there.

Well I'm sorry yall think that there's many head coaches in this league that don't get say on roster decisions.

Who the hell would want to cook if they're not buying the groceries.

Most do have.

Every HC wants finial say on roster decisions. Stop acting like this.is such a unique situation we have here.

Pretty sure there is nothing he could say that would change anybody opinions on here. So no reason for him to say anything. He certainly doesn't give a fug what anybody thinks of him. Would be disappointing if he did.

The bills had their chance to win the game in regulation. Don't see an issue

Couldn't agree more.
