Rhule: I Thought He [Tahir Whitehead] Played Well."

Now come the lies about the players. Whitehead has looked like a blinking MORON for months! He's the reason Boston thought that Bucs RB was coming out of the wrong gap. He goes around out of position, shoves our own defenders out of position, takes moronic angles, and you know what.... I love him. Please keep thinking he's playing well. I want high draft picks to replace him.

This is part of being a HC. If you expect better out of a player, you tell him that, not the media. If he wants to single him out, he’ll do it in practice around his teammates. Not to reporters. 

but in fairness, that is exactly what Ron/Fox did.   They gave bullshit answers when asked about obvious problems.

Agreed.  Problem is, he's been bad all year and has continued to play.  We're losing, in large part due to our defense.  His snaps have been limited and yet, when he's in, bad things continue to happen in his vicinity.  If we're losing anyway, why not play our young guys?  Coach speak is one thing, but to continue to trot the guy out there when he's doing the same things is where I start to see red flags.

One of us is gonna have to fall on the sword and give us the Panthers fan equivalent of this gif one of these days.

They could have just panned the camera around the stadium and zoomed in on any random Panthers fan at the end of the first half after that Moore non-catch and got that reaction.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
