QB dark horse - Kellen Mond

[Aussie Tank]

This only reason you take him in the first round is the 5 year option. He could be a trade back up to pick 32 target

Bringing in Teddy was a mistake. Everyone already knew he was a game managing QB who could never win a SB. We should have either let Cam play his final season here, or even better had Grier start all season. That would have put us into position to draft Lawrence, Wilson, or Fields, and we wouldn't be in QB limbo. This isn't hindsight 20/20 because we knew this is what was needed to to be done at the time.

Later we're granted the good fortune of having a top 3 pick despite our foolish move of bringing in Teddy. What does Rhule do? Everything he can to beat the WFT and ensure we lose our chances of taking a top 2 or 3 QB. That win makes me question Rhule's overall intelligence and leadership ability.

Now we're in a bad position at QB, and we desperately offer way too much for an aging middle of the pack QB who has never accomplished anything. Well our GM completely fails in getting this soon to be 33 year old QB. Yikes. And makes an offer that is crazy stupid over the top and STILL fails to get the QB. Good QBs with options don't want to come here, and you can bet we won't get Watson either.

We're in a bad position in the draft because of Rhule. If Rhule had benched Teddy for the WFT game we'd be in a great draft position, but he screwed up. Plain and simple. Now we have to take a long shot at QB, like Lance or Jones, and we're in danger of making a busted pick. Or we're stuck with Rhule's blunder of Teddy for another season, and you can bet Rhule will win just enough games again to keep up from drafting a top QB. We're in real danger of multiple seasons of 8-8ish records and QB limbo. This is why we need an innovate free thinking coaching staff and GM who are focused on draft position when the season is clearly lost. We don't have a savy deal maker who can go out and snag a top QB in free agency. We don't have a coach who cares about draft position, and thinks Teddy is acceptable for a 3 year contract for big money.

Things are not looking good for the Panthers with the current coaching, and the record reflect that. Expect 8-8ish at best with Teddy back at QB thanks to Rhule.

Was that the elevator ride thing last year that got a high level player crossed off Rhules list or did it happen again this year?

The elevator thing happened last year. The other story was this year.

If either Newman or Mond is drafted to be the heir to teddy than I quit.  Sweet baby jesus I would take jones all day every day over both of those guys.

I must have missed that. They had a guy decline to cover a guy in a drill??? Seriously?

Kid reportedly declined to take part in a drill that Rhule assigned him to.

Protecting his draft stock. Ouch.

Well we know that guy won't be in Carolina....

Yeah, was talked about here a while back. Came from someone who was at the Senior Bowl practices.

Might be in one of the draft forum threads. Don't know.

Not just the refusal, but also that he actually thought he could get away with something like that.

That's a pretty clear indicator of "stupid".

[Waldo]

Meh, senior bowl is just the NCAA giving a kick back to less talented players that stayed in school. There really isn't a QB I would be happy with in the pack.

We didn't lose that game because of Rhule. We lost that game because of Ron. No coach in his right mind would have kept playing Haskins after halftime or likely have let him suit up to start with after what he had done earlier in the week.
