Yup.  Tepper was so afraid that Rhule would take the Giants job he went to his house where he waited for him to come from vacation from Baylor's bowl game.  He helped him carry in his luggage.  After a few questions they went into full on recruiting.  Rhule grew in up in NY.

It was Marty who went into "recruiting mode" first.

Ironic as hell, I know 😆

Rough day for rookie QBs... Maybe our front office really did know what they were doing passing on this class and trading for Sam?

Davis Mills has looked the best on the field out of all of them.

Lawrence has looked awful, Wilson has looked worse than awful, Mac Jones fully healthy has a weaker arm than a post shoulder injury Cam, and Justin Fields looked 3 steps behind everyone else on the field today.

I am beyond happy the team went with Sam.

As to Fields, he was still a rookie playing his first game so anybody looking to make definitive statements about him based on that needs to pump the brakes a little bit.

Of course nothing definitive, but we can only judge what has happened thus far, and today was bad.

Looking back we were a lot closer to playoff ready than I think most of us realized. Drafting fields would have taken us an extra 1 or 2 years to build. I'm not rooting against him but it does help solidify my opinion that Horn was the correct pick regardless of how Fields performs.

It is ironic that Rhule was a key factor for Marty being gone.  I will forever be grateful to Rhule for that alone.

Tepper's and Marty's actions indicate this was their guy before the interview though.  They were prepared to make an offer immediately, they traveled to his house to jump the schedule, they carried in his luggage.  You don't do that if you're slightly interested.  A couple questions in just confirmed what they already knew.  Rhule was the guy.

If he'd known...

Well, best for us that he didn't.

I know your thoughts on Hurney, but he did play a big hand in making an under funded small market franchise relevant. No excuses but he was about as competent as his skill set allowed, Tep even acknowledged  that..

The issue was always Jerry being tight and controlling.  And that included the GM position.

Some  people looked to him as a Cam-esqe QB... a mobile, dynamic QB.  Cam had a better first game.  Fields will just never come close to Cam.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
