Have to have year in and year out consistent winning seasons with playoffs most years before I’m sold on him. So it’s too early. He’s trending up and way better than I thought he’d be. I’m still not convinced that he understands how important an elite qb is in the nfl. Those are the types of players that more often then not give you consistency in the nfl. The salary cap, injuries, coordinators leaving for better opportunities and not being able to bring in quality ones to replace can wreck seasons without an elite qb. Those players lift their teams to the postseason year in and year out. The hope is Sam can become that player. And he obviously has time to find one if Sam doesn’t work long term. I like this staff and Matt a lot so I hope it works out.

I am gladly eating crow on this because I was not sold on Coach Rhule due to:

1) Comes from lower tier college programs, never won anything at either of them and thought his ra ra speech would not translate to the NFL

2) Wasn't sold on his coaching staff, two unknown coordinators with limited to no NFL experience, thought Snow as a guy who the game passed him by

3) Didn't like how he handled Cam, thought to myself how could he run out of town an NFL MVP and not give him a season to prove

4) Didn't believe in all his analytics stuff, thought this guy was a copy of Chip Kelly and his "system"

 

Well, I am here to say I am wrong. I think Matt Rhule may end of being the best coach in Panthers history. In addition, I give credit to Tepper, it appears he went "The Steelers Way" in finding his version of a young Bill Cowher who will coach this team for 10-15 years. 

Yes.  Completely.  I honestly think we've got the best "young" coach in the NFL.

Isn't that like saying Robert E. Lee wasn't a good general?

I'm not here to lose. 

I only probably have 30 or so years left.

I'll take one Ring followed by 15 straight o-17 seasons over 16 17-0 seasons and no ring.

I don't phuck fat chicks and I don't care about meaningless wins. 

Until he makes a Superbowl he will always be worse than Fox and Rivera.

Just wanted to add regardless how this season unfolds we are in one of the best spots this franchise has been in a long time. We have young, talented pieces on defense and we’ve started getting some on offense to mix with guys who are about to get paid and the cap is in a very healthy place right now. Next years draft will be difficult since we don’t have a second or third. I’m guessing we trade down to pick up a second round pick. But regardless. We have the opportunity to have a 3 or 4 year window for super bowl runs if they get this right.

You really shouldn't hitch your sense of pride to the accomplishments of other people. You are watching other people play a game. You aren't winning or losing anything.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
