In his interview he leaned into analytics, nutrition, getting the most out his players, athletic evaluations etc. None of that has carried over

I feel the same way. Would be happy with either 3 but damn I am in love with Ikems physicality

IMO Brugler is one of the best if not the best analyst in the business. He sporadically updates his mocks and is more right then wrong it seems. Here is his latest. https://theathletic.com/3075920/2022/01/19/two-round-2022-nfl-mock-draft-dane-bruglers-mock-2-0-has-a-new-no-1-pick-and-more-surprises/ He is really down on the qb class and has pickett going 11. Says Davis Mills would probably be the top guy if he was in the group. I thought initally we would have a choice of 2 of the 3 top tackles but man Ikem is skyrocketing up the boards. Mel Kiper now has him the #1 tackle prospect. Kid is legit 1. Jacksonville Jaguars — Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State 2. Detroit Lions — Aidan Hutchinson, edge, Michigan 3. Houston Texans — Kayvon Thibodeaux, edge, Oregon 4. New York Jets — Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU 5. New York Giants — Evan Neal, OT, Alabama 6. Carolina Panthers — Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State If the Panthers strike out on their quarterback options in free agency and on the trade market, this could be the spot where we see the first quarterback drafted. This is Carolina’s only draft pick in the top 100, putting even more pressure on Matt Rhule and the organization to get this selection right. Cross is talented enough to be OT1 on some team’s draft boards. He has the athleticism and movement patterns to be comfortable pass-blocking on an island, and his hands are well-timed and precise. Cross should be able to start from day one as a rookie.

You comfortable giving him a new 5 year deal?

His insistence on wearing 2 gloves scare the hell out of me for some reason

My conspiracy theory is that tepper has cut rhule off at the nuts and will not allow any more crazy ass trades or signings. The only move thats been made thats been successful was Reddick (only a 1 year deal) and maybe Jones. Other than that its been pretty much poo. My gut says there is no way Tepper actually thinks rhule is going to turn this around. He traded a 2022 second and paid Darnold so thats on you rhule go make it work.

yep. 1000%

I'll rephrase. Centers better than pat e are a dime a dozen

Centers are a dime a dozen in the draft

I would rather roll with sam then give Kirk a cheap multi year deal. He aint the answer in any capacity. Kirk may win enough that rhule would keep his job. Kirk might could get to 8 wins on general principle

He is 33 and has a grand total of 4 playoff games. He is just a stat machine and not a winner and to top it off he is kindof a moron

why?

If we give up the 6 pick for Kirk fuging Cousins I swear to God I will drive to mint st and do something insane

Uh, no not just no but fug no

Thats probably going to happen but I would prefer rhule just take this puppy all the way home. Let him go completely down with the ship instead potentially getting some new coach bounce and getting a win or 2 fuging up our draft position

zac taylor had 6 wins total after year 2. Just playing devils advocate here

I dont know about long term damage as long as they dont really really fug up this draft. It worked out pretty well in 2001 and 2010. Identical situations IMO. The key as I stated is dont let rhule overdraft some jack off qb at 6 and trot him out behind this dogshit line. That is a recipe for disaster. That move would really really set us back a bit. Build the line, make rhule play darnold, and keep plowing ahead. 2022 is going to suck no matter who the coach is. 0.0% chance we make the playoffs so might as well go all in on a rebuild. Something as you know we should have done in 2020.

Rhule will be and should be neutered going forwarded

What players are you worried about? This is a roster on the whole devoid of talent

nah she is a b level celebrity girlfriend. I am sure she will ditch cmac once he gets hurt again or whatever

Meh, he is rebuilding the offices, working on a new stadium, doing things behind the scenes, I wouldnt put the wins/losses on him entirely this early on, he is at least trying to throw money at the problem

Nah, nah not at all. If you want to tank you roll with rhule for another year and saddle him with Darnold. That my friend is how you tank. I promise you with 100% certainty if that is the combo going into 2022 season we are locked and loaded for a top draft pick

thats certainly not true

2 things: If a new coach comes in and goes 3-14 or whatever then the fanbase is already calling for blood. If a new coach gets a new coach bounce and he wins say 7-8 games that makes it extremely harder to get a qb next draft. Tepper, as it appears to me, wants to just "tank" in 2023 (something he should have done in 2020) and build from scratch with a new coach and new qb going forward. I have said all along its not ideal, it most certainly sucks but goddamn its finally a plan
