Panthers Rhule

I think this is why the QB competition was not only a good idea but also important. It's giving Mayfield the opportunity to make the team his and it looks like he's doing that. The team is starting to believe in him and look to him as a leader. That's exactly what we want to happen.

I agree and I also believe Mays looks like a future starter already.

Miami Vice is coming for your QB.

Yeah, you don't sound personal at all. Just solid facts and science. I see it clearly now. Really? Just read through this chat for examples that contradict that statement and I'm sure you will find many other examples on every thread you've posted in for the last 5 months.

Great new staff. Rebuilt OL that looks very promising. WR core that looks better than any we've see in years. A young QB with a playoff win and a chip on his shoulder who's playing very well so far. A good looking secondary and LBs who look better than expected. Our main players have just outplayed the .Comms and Pats who are potential playoff teams based off of last season. Are the reasons acceptable to you these days or do you still feel the need to express your hatred for our HC some more? What happened? I don't know but I do know that it will eat you up inside. I know you a little bit and I like you but man, lately it's just all hate from you. Relax. Let it go. It's supposed to be fun.

I agree with everything except the last part. I think he's getting his reps in case Darnold is traded and Walker has to be our back-up this season.

I don't really believe it's 90% of everyone here, just the ones who post 10-20 times a day. A lot of people don't post but I see them pie positive comments when they come around. Which isn't so often likely because of the negativity. I post sometimes when something interesting is happening but I also post less than I would if most conversations didn't always end with the same people finding another reason to spew the same old things. Sometimes it's just too much for me.

Did you even listen to what he said? I was surprised to hear him say that, honestly. I really respected that. I also saw many players and many team leaders nodding their heads and looking like they believe in the process. Yes. Rhule failed last season and he looked unhealthy for it. He was obviously trying to do too much. I don't know what happened but it's clear to me that someone pulled him to the side because I see a different coach this season. He's still awkward in front of the camera but he's much more relaxed and he looks much healthier. He has an experienced staff that know what they're about and he can just be the HC. People may hate him for the collapse last season, i get being unhappy and critical but not the kind of hatred being expressed around here and unfortunately also from some fans publicly but I believe that problems were identified and addressed. I respect people who can admit mistakes and move on and learn. I respect that he isn't hiding his knowledge of what people are saying and pretending it isn't there. I also like how he defined why he thinks they are wrong. "We have talent. We have competitions at positions we've never had before. If you want more time, more reps, then fight for it. If you want to win, fight for it." I agree with this and it is clear, at least to me, that this is the culture he preaches about. Keep Pounding as a culture and not just pretty words to say and I think he has young leaders who believe in it and are helping him sell it. He may fail, we'll see but he is trying to do what he said he would do from day one and if he does succeed, with Fitty and this new staff I think we can build something great. We had 3 QBs lead scoring drives in PS game 1. Has that ever happened before?

I also loved what Rhule told the team, If you want it you've got to fight for it. He's right. If you don't earn what you get then it means nothing. We are not special. Some of us may think we are and some people may let you think you are but in the end you are not. I like this approach. If you want it, earn it. Man up and take it but do so with integrity and respect. THAT, is building a culture. Or at least the type of culture that I can believe in and support.

I loved the ST coach scamming the players out of a dollar. That was funny.

Paragraphs are your friends.

Thank you. This is unofficial. They just told us yesterday it's too early to make any of those decisions but at least it's another excuse to complain about the same things complained about yesterday and the day before that and the day before that one etc.

I'm not sure about J.P.P but I know that I'm definitely down with O.P.P! Yeah, you know me.

For saying people must earn what they get? Yeah, so stooped And logic and reason enters the conversation This is as it should be. Orrrrr, he's taking off some pressure to give him time to learn the playbook while still getting his reps. Reps with the 2s is the same number of reps but while still in the 1st week on a new team letting him build his confidence a little. Or maybe you know better than all of those seasoned coaches that the Panthers now have. Have you seen Rhule lately? He looks soooo much healthier. There's a reason for that. It's because now he doesn't have to try to do everything. Rhule is the HC. He's not responsible for climate change, or wars, or civil unrest. He's also not responsible for every action made by the Panthers. People don't like Rhule. We get that. Trust me, we get that. We really don't need to be reminded every day. We get that. Let it go. Everyone just let it go. If some of you don't want to be happy and enjoy things for at least as long as it's still possible then fine. All the power to you. But can't the rest us be excited for this brief period of time? I think he was referring to LT. Thank you for being the voice of reason.

The Cardinals have built a solid team but I swear I think Murray is going to keep them down.

Not only are they fighting one another but it was a cheap shot too. Go Dirty Birds

Maybe I'm crazy but seems to me like we should want Sam getting reps in practice and in pre-season games hoping that he looks good enough and that he is legitimately competing closely with Baker so that maybe a QB desperate team will take Sam off of our hands. If you want to sell a car you don't park it in the garage.

I hate no one. Hate only breeds more hate and slowly poisons the hater. If anyone needs proof of this concept just look around you as you go on with your days. You'll see it everywhere.

I agree. I saw these a little while ago at nfl. I think they are horrible. I don't get the League fascination with black uniforms or blacker uniforms as would be the case with us too. It seems half the league wears black or something very close to it in some form.

Wish he had said last day as a Panther. Nothing against him as a person but I want Corral to get as many reps as possible.

Gawd, I hope this kid is the one. He's the kind of player that I would really love supporting for the next 15 years.

Personally, I think it's too early to say if he's good or not. However, I can confidently say that last season's defense was much better than the defense we had before he arrived. Were there weaknesses? Yes. Losing Horn hurt but what hurt the most was when the offense completely collapsed. Every defense suffers from a total lack of offense. The obvious weakness was in the run defense. Was that because we didn't have the personnel? I think so. I don't know if that was because Snow brought in players to fit that concept or if that concept was because those were the best players he had. From what he says, he builds the scheme to fit the players. If that's true then he did an amazing job imo. If that's not true and he brought in players specifically to run that scheme then I'm less confident. I tend to believe in the first scenario and everything they say points in that direction as well, but we'll have a better idea about that after this season. They did attempt to address the issue in the off season though so hopefully those additions at DT and LB pay dividends. I also think adding Woods should help further in the passing defense enabling us to utilize Chinn more.

I was thinking about a new stadium but is that even a possibility?

Or Mills for that matter
