Also QB isn't the only way to evaluate Rhule. Imo he did extremely well to consistently put Carolina in position to win or tie in all games besides two last season despite Teddy's play  is probably a good sign . 

 

Darnold don't have to light the world on fire. If he has a ryan Tannehill esque glow up and CMC stays healthy and defense gets patched up a bit in the draft , that's got playoffs written all over it.

If Rhules on the hot seat it won’t be just because of Darnold. That said I would not be surprised if he’s on the seat next year. 

legit impossible for him to be on the hot seat next year. 

First two years = search for a QB

Third year - develop QB

Fourth year - Need to see improvement (winning record)

Firth year - Need to make the playoffs

Definitely. Spending $60 mil for one bad quarterback and then the very next year spending a future 2nd rounder for another bad quarterback should get you fired immediately. 

It’s 40 million.

And TB ranked where he is paid in 2020, respectively. 

In 2021 he more than likely wouldn’t have or will not likely rank where he was paid.

So you’re essentially complaining about 1 year overpaid bad contract.

If Donald doesn’t work out, yea it’s shitty to waste a second rounder.

But I can see how not acknowledging the details makes an agenda sound more melodramatic. 

Ultimtley though, he hasn’t made a devastating move yet, which is good. But he/they will need to make a progressive move and the inability to do that would for me be the ‘hot seat’.

Teams go years without franchise QBs. There are so many examples I don’t even know where to begin. It’s going to take time. As others have posted I think a competitive team and playoffs need to be a given in 2023.

Not necessarily on the hot seat but probably down to his last swing at the QB position.

Basically this. The owner is clearly invested in Rhule but I do think his seat atop the personnel decisions chair may start getting pretty warm if this was another Rhule decision that backfires. 

This is inferring a lot of things that we don't actually know but I don't think he comes out of a "Sam Darnold disaster starter" scenario unscathed, that is for sure.

Rhule is a good coach but in the nfl if you don’t find a franchise qb you’re gonna be on the hot seat quick. That’s just the way it is with this league. Very difficult to find sustained success without the qb position locked up. And since rhule has a lot of say in the draft then yeah it’s deserved. 
 

I might get panned for this but Darnold has almost Mahomes level arm talent and like Mahomes at Texas tech has really suspect mechanics, bailed the pocket often and played backyard football. Mahomes was coached out of that and Darnold wasn’t. Now you can blame gase for this, lack of talent (nobody should mix up chiefs offensive talent to the Jets) but Darnold has not stopped making boneheaded decisions with sloppy mechanics. It’s very hard for me to believe this can get coached out of him at this point. You can’t tell me that the Jets coaching staff wasn’t working with him on some of this at the bare minimum. Bad habits are hard to break and you see players revert back to those bad habits in pressure situations.

there are only a handful of qbs in the nfl that can make this type of throw. So the talent is definitely there. But it’s year 4 now and he is still raw as hell. My guess is that this coaching staff needs to take all pressure off of sam and simplify things for him getting the ball to the playmakers quick and really hit home that he can force feed cmc whenever he feels pressure. When the Jets had to have Sam play hero ball, he failed spectacularly. He makes extremely stupid decisions.

2023 with no franchise qb and he’s on the hot seat for me.

Might as well put him in the hot seat now.

It takes most teams years or decades to find a franchise QB after losing one.

Realistically, Rhule will spent his entire tenure here without a top tier QB.

That’s not a shot at Rhule, that’s just how it is. Great QBs are extremely hard to get.

I can easily see Belichick spending the rest of his nfl career in QB purgatory too.

Yes I’ve said as much in other posts.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
