Rhule has been horrible this year, anyone that hasn't watch the progression doesnt know poo, and no this team is not all Bridgewaters fault despite the closed mindedness of the huddle. This was his gimme year, at the end of next year if we are poo again he'll be on the hot seat. In year 3 if we arent doing poo again he'll be gone.

My mind keeps going back to the presser where Tepper corrected himself, saying "well, let's not give him that big a compliment".

It was shortly after that presser that he gave the interview to Bill Voth where he called Marty one of the best evaluators of college talent in the business.

I've long believed the first statement was Tepper being a little too honest and the second was him trying to soothe Marty's feelings.

Good article. But releasing cam Newton won’t be felt for years to come lol. It would have been nice to send him out as a lame duck this season though and not pay TB. That was surely a mistake. One that will screw us for next year but that’s really about it. But I don’t think TB would’ve come here for a ‘one yea deal’ and I don’t think Cam would’ve played for his last year here without an extension.

But who knows, everything else is a legit problem. And it could have been avoided had this FO realized, when the huddle knew, that these issues were the same constant issues Hurney had the first go around and was why he was fired in the first place.

Ah well, better late than never I guess. Just tired of the fans being right over ownership. Delayed responding by the FO has been a huge issue...hopefully this has taught Tepper something.

Until a change was made, the Panthers were likely to continue floundering as a mediocre or low-quality team compared to the competition.There’s no guarantee whoever replaces Hurney will be a brilliant GM who carries the franchise to its first Super Bowl win. What was clear was that the Panthers had gone as for as Hurney could take them

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
