I think we are in the honeymoon phase with Matt Rhule.  

History with Carolina coaches says not to judge a HC off that.  They have all seemed great minus Seifert in the honeymoon window.   

and we are early in the honeymoon window.  So much is still unknown about year 2. 

what was the honey moon window with rivera? the first loosing season or the second?

I'm paraphrasing, but I think I just read a few of you guys implying you're near the end of your lives, and you want a Ring for the Panthers before you check out.

I'd lay odds there's no regular contributor on the Huddle who's older (81) than I am, and I don't see it that way.

You should enjoy the chase, accepting the effort from the team you love and root for, and not be so reluctant to give credit where it's due.  All these "I'll say he's great when..." comments are so conditional in their praise as to be meaningless, to me.

If your steak isn't perfectly succulent, or the beer that goes with it isn't chilled to perfection, enjoy it anyway.  If your child isn't perfect, love it every day, anyway.

None of us are gonna get out of this thing alive, and we can't take our toys with us - so try to enjoy the ride, while you're still on the horse.  Don't expect perfection out of anything, and see the good in it.  You'll live longer, and be happier.

Man I don’t how I came about reading your post but I love it. It definitely spoke to me and I needed to read this. Thanks man. It puts things into perspective

So trying to trade for Watson or Stafford leaves you to question if he understands the importance of an elite QB? No offense intended but I honestly don't understand that assessment. By all accounts we were literally hours away from landing an Elite QB. It's not his fault if the guy wanted to win now with a team that had already proven it could win with an average QB. 

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.

Sorry, I didn't see that post and maybe you're correct. However, I don't think anyone can say which or any of the QBs we could have drafted will be elite the same way we can't say if Darnold will become elite. But I think we can all agree that each one of them has the same possibility of becoming elite and our guy is the only one that gives us a legitimate chance to win now. Rhule and staff saw what almost no one else did at the time and now we have a 24 yr old QB who has as much chance of becoming an elite QB as any QB we could have drafted and has us 3-0 now. I honestly can't find any reason to fault that.

My name says it all. I was sold as soon as he gave his first speech to us. Do you guys remember that speech? I wanted to suit up and play for him. 

 

I fell for the introductory press conference speech with Al Golden. Never again.

He won me over about 3 games into last year - it was clear we were a very well coached team that amounted to more than the sum of its parts AND he'd crushed the Draft. I was all in then.

People were more hyped after Ron’s year 1 than Rhule’s year 1.   Year one of Ron was an exciting time to be a Panther fan.    He tripled the win total of the team he took over and we were building the franchise around the most exciting player ever drafted.   

Ron, Fox and Dom all had exciting starts.   3 years in…..they were all largely loved by the fanbase for what they were building here.   All in the postseason by year 3.   Honeymoon phase.

Im not dying.  Im giving them what i feel is a reasonable enough time to win 1 championship.

Less “win one for the gipper”

More “before im dead, already”

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
