Matt Rhule press conference


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

Rhule won't commit to Bridgewater as the 2021 starting QB, but also says he won't commit to anybody at any position as a 2021 starter because he believes in competition so much.
 
 
 
Rhule: "Teddy has to have a tremendous offseason." Says he didn't think Bridgewater was the same after getting banged up Nov. 15th in game against Tampa.
 
Matt Rhule: "It's probably been one of the hardest years of my life. And you know what, we competed right to the end."
 
 
Rhule also says he thinks it's "vitally important" they have a full offseason.
 
 
Matt Rhule says they'd like to coach in the Senior Bowl, but may be out of their hands. Bengals and Eagles have worse records and are maintaining their coaching staffs. Bengals coached in it last year.

Matt Rhule says that he thinks as they look towards the draft, they'll have to move to getting younger offensively.
 
 
Matt Rhule said Teddy Bridgewater played well early in the season...But the last month of the season, Teddy hasn't played his best football. "I personally feel like ever since he got hurt, in the first half of the Tampa Bay game, Teddy hasn't played his best football."
 
Matt Rhule says he felt like the Panthers really missed out absence of OTA's and a regular offseason.
 
Matt Rhule: “Ever since he got hurt in the second half of the Tampa Bay game, Teddy hasn’t played his best football. … My encouragement to him has been, ‘Hey, you’ve got to have a great offseason.’”
 
 
 
"The key in the NFL is making decisions that are unpopular." -- Matt Rhule (and of course Belichick probably trademarked this one)

The quotes don’t do it justice. He really didn’t sound high on Teddy as the QB of the future and said a QB has to be able to stay healthy throughout the season and take on the west and tear to be able to play the best football that they have in December 

Ah okay. Yeah from the quotes it sounded like he was making the same old excuses for Ted.

I like that the HC is not afraid to call him out. Now that might change if Teddy was a guy that he drafted as that typically means their fates are tied together.

... which is why I think its reasonable why we will NOT draft a QB this year. As soon as you draft a 1st round QB your on the clock and need to win. With a 7 year coaching contract, its better for him to build the rest of the team THEN get a QB as the final piece.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
