Interesting? I think the word you were looking for was depressing.

Meanwhile, Tepper: *crickets* Meanwhile, Rhule: *idiotic bumbling ramblings* Sigh.

Olsen was a potential foundation player being 26 at the time of the trade. Gilmore was a bandaid at 31. I mean, if we're going off of total careers, then Reggie White is the biggest signing in Panthers history but that's a ridiculous argument to make.

I don't see how Rhule keeps his job if he sticks with Darnold next year. I don't know if Fitterer is tied to Rhule or not.

Could this be the wake up call Tepper needs though? When Rhule comes asking for elite OC money for some trash candidate, probably his buddy Nixon? I can only hope so.

A whole lot less heat there. Primarily because Americans just don't care about soccer, especially not the national media.

Hence why I've never bothered.

Good point.

This. If the record sucked but we were fielding a competitive team showing improvement with a coach who was articulating intelligent ideas on how to take the next step forward that would be a completely different scenario than our current total clown show.

Okay now, I'm starting to get weather alerts from folks I actually pay attention to on this one. Gonna keep an eye on this. I snowboarded 30-50 days a year back in CO depending on conditions and how busy I was but I've never been in NC. If we're gonna actually get some real snow I might have to break out a board and go slide around a bit.

My concern is that at least in regards to the football operations, neither does he.

If it's freezing rain it'll probably be an inch or so based on the moisture available which combined with wind is still gonna create PLENTY of problems.

3-4 inches of freezing rain? They'd have to be calling for 3-4 feet of snow to create that much ice from freezing rain.

When are you going to wrestle your brass balls back out of Fatt Fhule's man purse?

They're saying 8-12" for Morganton.

If Rhule is drunk goggles, Tepper is convening with the DMT elves.

Hence why I'm just sitting and waiting to see where Sam Howell ends up. Tepper has ran this ship into the ground.

Trust and believe if I ran into him I'd tell him to his face.

David Tepper is straight up bitch made. Brass balls my ass. He fuged up once and he's scared to death he'll fug it up again so he's just desperately hoping things will magically get better.

The guy in the background... oh god, legit LOL! So good.

How about a video?

It's why I was baffled that evidently there are folks not picking up on this. I mean, it came right out of our decision makers' mouths. I hope it's a really bad effort at a slick smokescreen but honestly who knows with these clowns?

Rhule and Fitterer both made comments to the effect of "we just have to protect Darnold better"band "he showed some good things when we protected him". I don't know if they're in just utter denial or they're trying to put up a hilariously bad smokescreen. Then again, we've been dumb enough at the QB position under Rhule, it would be tough to concoct a smokescreen idea that would be idiotic enough for folks to disbelieve thinking "there's no way they're THAT stupid" because, I mean... we really might be based on recent history.

Bingo. I mentioned it very early on in the season how strange (and concerning) it was that Darnold seemed to look his best when pressured immediately and forced into a quick decision. The longer he had to survey the field, the higher the likelihood was that he was going to do something really stupid. It's the opposite of what you expect and want to see.

You're missing the point. The point was that they weren't that night. Herbert was under constant duress but he was still able to keep them competitive. There seems to be an ever increasingly prevalent opinion on the Huddle (and at Panthers' HQ) that fixing the OL is going fix everything. It's won't. We still need a QB.
