Matt Rhule says the Panthers offense is about to have a "vastly different look," redefined with more of an emphasis on the run game.

Rhule has never impressed me.  His college resume IMO was never as strong as it was pimped.   He won one conference title.  That’s his resume.  Vs the field of other college to pro coaches that is weak. 

and at least to me, he doesn’t inspire confidence when he talks.   He speed talks a word salad of bullshit.  Always seem jittery and unsure. 

goes back to the preseason where he essentially bragged about letting other coaches set everything up and dictate what they wanted to get out of practice.   
 

Rhule is less impressive than Rivera or Fox to me.  And that’s not high praise of Rivera and Fox. 

I'm somewhere in the middle...  I didnt want him at all as our coach, mainly because I was not impressed by the college program building rah-rah type stuff, and as you said, he never really won anything meaningful.  I wasn't impressed.  But then when we hired him and the reports about wanting to be heavy on analytics, science, player health/recovery, and his watching his opening presser, I felt like he was super charismatic and could be the perfect man for the job.  Well, I have serious doubts about all of that, and I'm starting to feel like gets a used car salesman and I just got sold a lemon.

I was initially a Rhule skeptic but let's keep in mind that he is just 22 games into his NFL career.

I share the same skepticism that I initially did but I am not ready to jump off a cliff yet. Perhaps if we finish the season at 3-14. 

That's something we all had to know was going to be a thing. The coaching staff has a learning curve to navigate, as well. All while during a complete rebuild.

He’s worse after Game 22 than after Game 1. At best, he’s not improved at all. It looked like we hadn’t practiced for weeks on Sunday.

And in that mic'd up last year Shaq asking him on the sideline if he was ok. When one of your only vet leaders thinks you're overwhelmed that's bad.

Can dumbass Dave just admit that he fuged up and move on to a real NFL staff? It’s clear that Rhule is just guessing here. He doesn’t know how to actually coach at this level. He and all his assistants need to go back to coaching amateurs. He reminds me of a younger Mack Brown. A guy who is great at selling hype with no substance.

That was a bad game yesterday, no question about it. But, I am not going to jump off a cliff after a bad game and I am not going to jump off a cliff after a three game losing streak. There are still 11 more games to judge where we are at as a franchise.

I'm not peddling some dumbshit Sunshine Squad optimism, just saying we are in the midst of a season and we need to get the full picture before we start being definitive about anything. If we keep getting worse and worse as the season progresses, I am absolutely on board with the "Fire Rhule" bandwagon. But, maybe we still end up as a 6-9 win team and are relatively still on schedule for where we should be.

You’d be happy with 6 wins?

QUICKLY losing faith in Rhule as a coach.  Dude may can build a program based on motivational speaking skills and get players to trust him...but doesn't mean he knows what he's doing when it comes to X's and O's. 

He’s never been an x and o coach. He has said that time and again. He leaves that to coordinators. He’s basically just a corporate manager. 
 

I still like rhule and think he can be successful but he needs to find a franchise qb or it’s just not gonna work out.

    • I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.
    • Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.
    • Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
