Better than Sam Darnold is? Is this real life?

I just don't see any evidence that our position coaches have these defensive kids prepared to play. The recruiting stars aren't translating. Sure, some recruits bust but when you have lots of highly recruited guys underperforming they aren't all busts.

This is gonna get ugly. They couldn't afford to not connect on that long pass. That was a beautifully designed play. QB just missed by a hair and that was the difference between a TD and a three and out and a punt to a red hot offense from deep within your own territory. Utah has to get a stop here or this is already over.

You gotta hit that pass. That's a TD with a decent throw.

Our D just flat out sucks. I've given up hope they're gonna wake up. What we need is for Phil Longo to yank his head out of his ass because he's been pure garbage here lately. We need significant defensive staff changes in the off-season. There's too much talent on that D for them to be this bad and it's not just play calling. Blowing assignments left and right isn't going to get solves by better play calling.

They really didn't. They were knocking USC back the whole drive taking it right at them and then tried to start going horizontal once the field shrank. They better score here or this is going to get out of hand quick.

Williams looks gassed. If USC hadn't been wasting timeouts they could use one here. The delay of game might have been a good thing to get him a breather.

Heading to BOA tomorrow for that one. I have a feeling that Tagovailoa is gonna be on a short leash.

No clue why Utah punched USC in the mouth going north-south all the way down the field then tried to go east-west once they got inside the redzone. Had to settle for three.

I've kinda resigned myself that we're going to really fug ourselves and won this awful division. Tepper deludes himself into thinking we've arrived instead of seeing the reality that this is an all-time awful division. He then rewards Wilks with a new contract to be the head coach. We then get the poo kicked out of us in a home playoff game by the Cowboys and reality sets in that we have not arrived, we still desperately need a QB, and now we're by far the worst team holding a pick in the bottom third of the 1st round. Talk immediately starts on whether Wilks will be a one year and done HC again and greatly hampers his ability to hire a quality staff. So basically, just business as usual in the Tepper era.

Mac Jones is garbage.

I don't think so either. And yeah, if I was a betting man my money would be on the Chargers too.

I'm still floored how anyone can watch that UNC team last year and come away with being down on Howell. Without Howell I'm not sure they win any of the P5 games on their schedule. They had one guy on the team that could catch a ball in Downs. Howell, a guy who had hardly ran at all previously had to turn into The Golden Calf of Bristol for Carolina to move the ball at all. I'm with you on the Richardson intrigued. It all comes down to his interviews and background checks IMO and unfortunately that's the stuff is fans are completely blind to.

I'm talking about players not teams. Both had all the physical tools you could want but turned the ball over too much and just don't seem to have a great feel for the game.

Jake Locker 2.0

Damn. That's big coming from a former teammate. Wow.

Why I'll be done with the Panthers if Sean Payton is ever the head coach.

While Rhule tries to rewrite history...

The plan was to try to bullshit his way through it. I mean, he did bullshit his way into the job so...

Tepper has absolutely no leg to stand on talking poo about anyone else on anything NFL related.

For everyone hoping the Panthers skewer the guy, why? We should do what Rhule should be doing. Just own the mistake and move on. Let him keep making himself look bad if he wants. We look bad enough on our own without getting in a public mud slinging match. Keep it moving.

This. I've been saying for months that Rhule and Nebraska were the perfect fit but watching his blame game tour I'd be rolling my eyes if I was a Nebraska fan. Look man, you got fired as an NFL coach. That poo happens. I mean, Bill Belichick got fired as an NFL coach. It's called the Not For Long League for a reason. Just suck it up, own it, say you tried your best and unfortunately it didn't work out and keep it moving. You've already landed your next gig. There's no reason to play this blame game bullshit other than to massage your own ego

The guy who blames all of his shortcomings on everyone and everything else isn't the guy you want leading your organization.

Hell, I've been semi checked out since Tepper bought the team and immediately cut Cam. Life is more fun when the quality of your Sunday afternoon doesn't hinge on a bad team not being bad. Just sayin'.

You bumped this dying thread for... that?
