He interviewed McAdoo for QB coach and/or TE coach, not OC. Brady had already been hired at that point.

Gross/Otah is the best, even though it was only for one year. That 2008 offensive line as a whole was pretty dang solid.

McVay had 5 years of NFL coaching experience before stepping into the OC role at Washington, which FWIW was also the team and players he'd spent the prior 4 years with. Rhule's decision-making with his staff was flow out poor out of the gate, and it's unfortunate that Tepper was OK with the college crew just coming in like that. I still think that Rhule was voluntold to hire some actual NFL level coaching personnel and am not confident he did it fully of his own accord. Hopefully it will be a net positive but as I've said before, if that's the case then what is Rhule actually bringing to the table as an HC? Regular season's almost here and that will tell the story.

Cam's finish in that game was fantastic, but it's also a textbook 'Rivera off the gas' game where Carolina blew a 28 point lead in less than 20 minutes to require such a closeout. One of Rivera's most infuriating traits.

The throw was back and to the left.

Assuming Stafford's elbow doesn't retire first.

I took CMC in 2018 when Barkley was getting all the hype as the best ever and it worked out. Does that help you? Not really. But how often can you legitimately draft a Panther #1 without it being a reach?

Reminds me of Richardson's response when asked about Sherrod Martin circa 2012: "I think he plays safety."

I couldn't believe how bad the surface looked in Chicago considering that the season hasn't even started yet. About the only one I can think of worse was Philly in 2001 when Baltimore flat out refused to play.

And this is what Tepper so desperately wanted to bring to Charlotte.

Watson got a warm welcome in Jacksonville tonight...

Fixed it for you.

I think part of the issue with scenarios like sports teams is that the owners typically push a community-first agenda, wanting to make it look like that's as big of a priority as anything, if not moreso. In the case of Tepper the whole '2 Carolinas, 1 Team' message at the heart of the new facility doesn't jive with the fact that Tepper could comfortably complete the project on his own if it was indeed his priority, but is instead choosing not to for business reasons when the deal had significant risk from the outset. I'm not saying it's fair or that the perspective is without flaw, but IMO it is more nuanced with things like sports teams vs typical businesses.

Ball was already long gone before he peeled off. Must have had no idea it was thrown but he was running with that receiver when Willis threw it. Lucky outcome or not, the throw was on the money though.

Wth was that corner doing peeling under that late after the throw? Willis got pretty lucky there.

Sure, but that was a classic Rivera 8-8 team that stumbled into being 6-2 at the halfway point. Cam didn't notably fall off until week 14 and during that time they regressed to the mean and showed what they actually were. The whole '6-2' thing is just not what it seemed.

That 6-2 was built on a pillar of sand, requiring a Dallas meltdown, record field goal vs NY, and complete Eagles choke job to get there. That team was an extremely lucky 6-2 and the rest of the season thereafter was a more accurate representation, though a few breaks went against Carolina in those losses as well.

He still failed to address the question in any way. Having guys that like each other and that 'fot the culture' is great and grand but doesn't amount to jack if the culture' doesn't equate to winning games... to date, Rhule has proven wholly ineffective in that key area. That's the litmus test.

Sounds like a pretty rational take until proven otherwise. Been years of big talk... prove it. Words mean next to nothing at this point.

Yup. He may not be worse at this point but he sure isn't any better.

Sure would've been great to see Brady play LT for the last part of last year since that's his natural and best position. Alas though, in Rhule's infinite wisdom...

It wouldn't have hurt but Denver had 194 total yards of offense. Their defense, Rivera and Shula's ineptitude, and the officials if you're so inclined to add them, won that game for them.

Peyton's 13 of 23 for 141 yards and an interception were not the issue with that Super Bowl.

I can believe that. Abdullah looked quite solid in his snaps and while I get the general idea behind keeping young RBs, I would have liked to see him stay around.
