How do we feel about Matt Rhule after one season?

At first I felt ok. We were playing hard and hanging in against much better teams and even won a few games. As the year went on the coaching really seemed to drop off and now I’m not feeling all that great about a guy we just gave 60 million dollars to.  I need to see improvement next year and I think the jury is still totally out.

Thoughts?

Great.  He took a team with very little talent and no cap space and made them competitive in every single game except tonight.  Players fought hard each week.  Halftime adjustments seemed to work.  No glaring coaching mistakes.  All in all...I think he did a great job.

It takes more than one season to turn a team around. We lost a lot of close games this year, you could argue we were competitive for most of them despite missing CMC and several players who retired. I'd say the jury is still out,  but expectations next season will be much higher.

Seeing the genius Kingsbury calling a TO on 3 and 18 down on the Rams field with only 4 min left only to make their limping QB run af speed option for no yds and then punt the ball only to never get the ball back... I LOVE Rhule!

Very happy. Everyone expected 2 wins. We had a brand new coaching staff, no offseason, the highest amount of dead money by a mile. the highest turnover in the league, started an incredible amount of rookies on defense, lost our best player almost all year, played without our starting LT over half the season, and almost everyone expected us to be the worst team in the league. 
 

We have a lot to look forward to, and many young players developed in front of our eyes this year. I believe our future is bright and that we have a good young core to build around. Now that Hurney is gone, we have a cap specialist, and are out of cap hell, I expect to be able to to take over the division in a year after we draft our next franchise QB in a few months.

I give him a B- 

Team looked way better than expected early on for a 3 game winning streak and was WAY more competitive than expected. So I give him credit where credit is due. 

But late in the season I think the team looked like trash, made stupid mistakes, and overall fell apart. Bridgewater should have been benched after the Minnesota loss.

I think he has potential to be really good which is all anyone can ask for in one year with subpar talent, lack of a proper offseason and everything else. 
 

im interested to see how daring he is when we have talent and are in closer, more meaningful games when the pressure is really on to perform. He is aggressive which is a breath of fresh air.

He came in with a rookie staff, no off season, a new QB, 4 rookie starters on D, no cmc and put up the same record as SB winning coach Doug Peterson.

AND his FA acquisitions have mainly been on point.

I agree with you George, I think Rhule can be really good given the parts he needs.

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
