Are you sold on Matt Rhule?

I echo the getting there..

He had the hardest start for any HC in NFL history last year. That team lost close to 60% of the snaps and stats, not to mention the leadership. Besides a few quarters, they were in every game til the end. Major props for that feat. Now with one of the youngest team hes got them 3-0 with never being behind currently. 

My main worry is Rhule getting to the smelly his farts smug ego levels or leaves for ________ . He is a great follow to John Fox 1&2, sick of the archaic 20 years they had that beyond ran its course. I enjoy watching panther football again, same for last season too.

Watson was all Tepper.

Stafford is more of a short term move imo as I clarified what I meant in a later post. I was talking about drafting a qb in the first round and dealing with growing pains. The anology was if rhule was the head coach of kc with Alex smith I don’t think he drafts Mahomes. 

I think the Darnold trade demonstrated they will take on a young QB that needs development. Darnold isn't a rookie, but he is young and needs development... He isn't in the same category as Fields in terms of what development he needs but it isn't as if Rhule was only after veteran or proven commodities at QB.

Time will tell if Rhule would draft someone like Mahomes if needed / opportunity arises, but he has demonstrated that he values building the team with young players as well as vets so I think that's possible.

Darnold is a 3 year vet. Teddy was a vet. These are much different situations then developing a rookie qb out of college. Darnold showed he could play above average in between his disastrous showings. Yes he needs continued development but he’s ran pro systems and was use to nfl speed. They aren’t the same as bringing in a rookie imo. He’s had two drafts to pick a qb. First one reports are he wanted to trade down and draft Henderson. When we could’ve attempted to trade up and draft Herbert. This one we passed on a couple prospects. I think my logic is sound. That he prefers a vet over a rookie drafted in the first round. 
 

yes time will tell...I was just giving my opinion.

So far so good....

* I like the fact he he's coached almost every position group and really has a feel for the team and what areas we need to improve

* Seems to have a eye for talent along with Fitts

* Has a vision for consistent sustained success aka "the process "

* Relates well to the players and they seem to be buying in

 

HOWEVER he will not get my official stamp of approval until he has back to back winning seasons.

How’s he Carolina’s best coach when he hasn’t achieved anything major yet?

Because he’s the best at coaching. The question isn’t “most successful”, it’s the best. And Rhule can coach rings around Rivera and I’d also take him over Fox, our two most successful coaches. For example, if Rhule had been our coach in 2015, with THAT roster, there’s no doubt in my mind we’d have been 19-0.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
