Joe has gotten a lot of flack over the years but credit to him for this. On the very first day of free agency too. Erving was said to have been surprised we offered him so much. That about sums it all up for me.

He keeps stressing their versatility, able to play multiple positions. WTF good does that do when they suck at all of them?

And it's not like it was unpredictable. Same situation as Teddy, Whitehead, and maybe even Sam - guys with years and years of consistent film don't tend to magically become something they've never been. Some years I guess it works like in 2013, but even then guys like Mitchell, Mikell, and Florence had put some quality play on film. Hopefully one or more of these high risk/reward additions still works out.

I don't mean to sound like a negative Nancy here. It's just a scenario Carolina fans, and fans across the NFL really, have seen play out many times. Meanwhile, Riley Reiff is seemingly doing OK over there in Cincy... would've been great to nab him.

I wonder how surprised Elflein was. League minimum player that more than likely would have been available in July/August, we signed on not only the first day, but the first hour of free agency. Not to mention gave him 4 times what he was supposed to get.

Matt offers a rational thought process for why he and Fitterer chose to sign these two players.  Reality is, no matter the coach, some moves just don't work out the way you planned.

While it is easy to bash Rhule in hindsight, here's to hoping he seriously revisits his "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" approach to selecting players for the offensive line.  While it is nice to have a few players with that flexibility, it was and remains imperative to have a line capable of protecting the Panthers reclamation project at QB.  Right now that's not happening.

      They never even tried to pretend that he had to win tne job. I hated that. At least make it a fake competition for appearances.  Naw, just install him.

      Our Next QB: The Qualifiers

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, sure, he has made a mess of the football situation with his hires.   I'm just saying, he is often overused to take the blame of others who ALSO are bad at their jobs.    We see that often.  Not just with Tepper.  I mean, how many people did we scapegoat and try to give all the blame to before we admitted Matt Rhule was bad at his job.  Same for Fitterer.  Tepper's other pro team has gone to the postseason in back to back years now.  Think they set a MLS record this year too.  And they have barely existed.   Tepper is not crafting the roster and shaping the team.  Others do that for him.   The QB room is the way it is because of the big picture hires of David Tepper.  But on a practical football level discussion about why we suck at the QB spot and going forward, we got to talk about Dan Morgan.  He is the dude doing the bad job there.  I'm not trying to deflect any blame from Tepper.  I just can't stand how Dan Morgan gets the pass he gets from some and the narrative......Tepper is calling the QB room, and this weird Morgan mantra that he somehow is silently against everything he part of building (not saying that is you but it exists here)  I think with a good staff and QB,  no one would care about David Tepper.  I think Tepper has now limited his ability to get the good staff in the front office and sidelines.   In hindsight, the Matt Rhule hire.....might go down as the biggest error in Panther history.  Because it's all a snowball from that bad hire.
