We've been competitive in all our games so far.  My whole thing has been that there is just not enough elite talent to be any good this year.  Rhule and Co. have done an outstanding job of coaching and gameplanning though.  The contrast between Rhule ball and Rivera ball is night and day.

We still need a franchise QB though.

The #30 and below rankings were dumb.  This team may not be good, but we aren’t that bad.  We have some young playmakers and can compete.  That same Chargers team put up a hard fight against the Chiefs 2 weeks ago.  Honestly, I just want to beat ATL for fuging once.  So tired of losing to those chokers.

Biggest thing I’ve noticed so far is that we seem to actually make adjustments.  I felt like a sweet summer song had blessed me when we changed up our game plan.  Feels good man.

We're on the right path.  Another couple years of strong drafts, clearing out all the aging high priced vets to open up cap room, and more coaching up from Rhule and Brady and Co and we will have ourselves an honest to goodness football team in Charlotte.  The future is bright IMO.

I am in the camp that we should tank this year to ensure a shot at one of the top 3 QB's but that does not seem to be in the cards.

Agree 100%.  I like Teddy, and he’s a great transitional QB, but a real franchise QB is what is gonna make the difference (as it usually does).  
 

I have a lot of faith in Rhule and the staff given what I’ve seen with the weird offseason and lack of elite overall talent we have.  They’ve impressed me so far.  I just hope Marty can make some good decisions in the upcoming drafts.  Someone hold me.

This, I have confidence in Rhule and his coaching staff but I don't trust Marty to effectively manage the roster and the cap

I see 5 wins as the most we should expect, based on the schedule.  If we win 6, Snake is going to kiss his own ass.  I have that in writing.  I am going for 6 wins for that reason alone. 

I just wanna watch 4corners eat a handful of live bees.

Or yellow jackets.

Or hornets.

I'm not picky.

How many wins will that take?

I would advise against expecting any wins this season.  Oh sure they will stumble into at least on more but beyond that I'm not "expecting" anything other than my doctor telling me I'm drinking too much to drown the pain of yet another Panthers "rebuild/retool/reload" whatever the hell this is we are watching.

Rhule's philosophy is that you instill it in the players to not give up. He even said in the offseason something along the lines that if the team is 1-15 that they will play like the best 1-15 team, if the team is 7-9 they will play like the best 7-9 team and so on. It shows, we might not have the most talent right now but this team doesn't looks like the current dogshit that you see in the Jets, Giants, Falcons, and Broncos.

      fug the HATERS

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      fug the HATERS

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
