I get the point Rhule is trying to make but it’s really not a bad or intentional hit. Cutting players and chewing their butts like yesterday will work for only show long before the grown men get sick and tired of it. Gotta be careful before you lose the locker room. One thing Rivera was good at was never losing the locker room. His guys played hard for him till the end. He kept Norman in the dog pound early in his career and never lost him. 

You've never been on a team or in a locker room. How would you possibly know?

Yeah when Rivera benched Cam for not wearing a silly tie on a travel day I’m sure the rest of the team was like good call coach, Cam had it coming. Lmao Rivera was trash with his stoic to the end poo. Maybe that’s why even though he is highly likely to die if he gets the rona his players still won’t get vaccinated for him, it’s because they love him so much.

The players like both these coaches. No need to make it a dumb competition

I’m not making it into any sort of competition. I’m simply saying the take that players love Rivera and he never loses the locker room seems patently false to me. Of course it’s just an opinion because I’m not in the locker room. But I’ve watch Rivera’s Panthers play like absolute trash down the stretch for several seasons and they certainly didn’t look like they were trying to win one for the ol gipper. They looked like they were just going through the motions.

He 100% wasn't making the roster anyways, was a long shot for the practice squad even. Makes sense to send a statement to the other guys on the team now. Maybe he'll get invited to another team's camp. I hope he does, it's tough to lose your job because of one dumb mistake.

It happens.  As much as players liked Marty Schottenheimer and bought into his message, at the end of his run in Kansas City the team was undisciplined and completely off the rails mentally.  I remember watching a MNF game when Derick Thomas and Wayne Simmons both melted down and thinking he had lost the team......which he had.

I'm not sure if it is hearing the same message that clearly is no longer working, realizing the coach is a "dead man walking" with the team, or both.

I'm not going to denigrate Ibe because sh¡t happens sometimes when amid action, but you just have to be smarter than that in practice. You don't want to hurt your own teammate, and this was probably emphasized to the entire team after Saturday night's practice.

    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not. 
    • This year, there's been enough positive talk from core players, free agents, and coaches to where I believe the culture building and momentum is more important than fighting for a worse record.
