So maybe we will give him a happy ending after all? I'll see myself out.

Thought it was quite interesting that he said losing should infuriate the players, and he's sitting on the sideline down 22 points to one of the worst teams in the league playing without the majority of their starters with a poo-eating grin.

Yup. Train wreck. Sounded like a guy who isn't all that invested and doesn't really care one way or another.

Love Ron the person and the man, but as a coach he is really mediocre. Not a strategist at all and as result, he greatly depended on his team's talent to win out, which ultimately resulted in cutting Cam's prime and career short and a lot more losses than we should have endured. And yes, his lack of adjustments and coaching acumen began to wear on me from very early on... That being said, and as you alluded to, his players absolutely loved him though. He was one of them and understood them, and pretty much every player I ever heard talk about him vouched for him and loved him. Funny enough, I have not heard one player under this staff do the same for them. In fact, we've actually heard the opposite, quite a few times. I even heard PJ give an interview during preseason this year where he was asked what it was like playing under Rhule and his answer was less than glowing. He tried to clean it up, but it sounded like a guy who didn't believe in his coaches and he even mentioned something about it taking time for other players to buy in... and that was a guy that played for him in college. I remember being shocked that Panthers Media even allowed that to be put out there. So yeah, things aren't looking good.

And you're on your way back to college...

I agree, but this ship is already sinking. And again, its not looking like the staff will be around to go down with it if this keeps up. And we could just as well blow the dame amount of draft picks trying to find a franchise QB and still fail if we take that route. But, I don't expect it to cost a king's ransom, as this is also with the idea in mind that Houston doesn't have much leverage either. He doesn't want to be there, he has legal troubles hanging over him, and he will not play another down for them... it can only end one way, it's a matter of the price to play.

No, I agree with you in it being a moral and ethical dilemma. But, this is the NFL. I have no interest in cheering on a guy who may have done the things he has done, although is he innocent until proven guilty, and I don't like the optics of it either. But, you either do whatever it takes to win, or you will be unemployed and without a QB, you aren't winning.

Rhule's claim that he believed Sam was going to be a a great QB for the Panthers just spontaneously combusted right in his face within days and he can't fall back on that anymore with Sam being benched. I think Tepper would be willing to take the gamble to give Rhule one last reprieve from his burning seat - a proven, franchise QB - and if he can't turn things around with him, he and his staff are canned. And honestly, as this point, I think you make the move regardless of what the staff thinks because they won't be here much longer anyway.

PJ threw two catchable balls under duress. The change should've been made much, much earlier regardless of the line play.

Too bad Rhule's dumbass waited too late to make the switch. Hello 3-4!!!

Damn, they even put Trent Scott in... the wheels have already fell off.

PJ already looks 1000% better than Sam.

Wish I could disagree with one thing you said, but I can't. We are a mediocre franchise and organization and we do it to ourselves. And everyone knows, I've always believed we owed Cam to finish his career out here.

I think he lost the team way before this. He's just a chattering mouth they put up with from week to week. These guys weren't going for that embarrassing college poo from the jump.

Yup. It's the APicklelypse all over again.

But having a QB who has some more dynamicism and escapability would make some difference. And yet, here we are watching from the shore, as the ship, engulfed in flames, slowly submerges into the dark, watery abyss.

Execution!

Good news. He might be back in this week. Breaking News: Doctors just told me he needs to go on IR from the IR.

Absolutely no one was open. Brady makes Jeff Davidson look like fuging GSOT-era Mike Martz.

All day to throw and he misses DJ by 5 yards to the right. Please bench his ass.

If only we knew what we know now. I agree, Teddy is a stopgap kind of guy and an uber conservative game manager who you're always looking to upgrade from - but that is worlds better than what we have with Darnold, and sadly, many of us already knew that's what Sam was and always has been. A fuging bum. But what we've gleaned from the last season and a half is that many of Teddy'a problems weren't his problems at all - Brady is an atrocious playcaller and this staff sucks ass across the board.

Just give them the TD and end our misery. Please. Just please.

He was playing quite a bit earlier. I noticed him because he kept giving up big catches.

We are losing to a 1-5 team with no WRs, no OL, and no RB and a defense that gave up 30+ points last week. Enjoy your week.

IDGAF what the social media and PR team do anymore. The honeymoon is over and these assholes suck at their jobs. We were conned and its time to cut bait. Tepper screwed up big time on this gamble.
