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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
