Where's the evidence they can build a program? We keep making idiotic decisions at QB. We continue to neglect the OL.  Our veteran acquisitions this offseason look awful. Our rookie class looks not great. This team is worse than last year's.

When they made the decision to move on from bridgewater they should have had a good idea how they were going to upgrade that position.

Instead the plan was to practically beg stafford to come. When he said no we were stuck with darnold. Just another example of the hubris of this staff.

I ain't even mad at Darnold. He is who I thought he was. I just can't figure out how or why our brain trust convinced themselves he was the answer.

Why the hell did our brain trust pick up his 5th year option. It's like we didn't learn anything from the Teddy debacle!

People are speaking to giving it more time but you need to see a clear upward trajectory. We were for a bit with him but it looks completely stalled and our offense is going backwards. If he can’t figure out how to get it back on track and get us looking like a competent NFL team then he should be gone. Today was a straw broken to the point where he’s officially on a hot seat IMO

I’ve always thought he was in over his head, but when we were up 26-7 on the Saints late in the fourth quarter and CMC was still in the game getting carries and taking hits, it solidified it for me. 
 

Your primary weapon is taking shots in a meaningless spot with a win wrapped up coming off a year where he was injured and also coming off years where he has been run into the ground. 
 

It’s just a complete lack of awareness, which is something a good head coach simply doesn’t have.

Yep. When Stafford was like, "LOL! No thanks." it seems like we panicked. Had we stayed patient we would've landed Darnold for considerably less. Having no fallback plan with no legit backup was a huge mistake. End up getting Darnold for say a 3rd, then toss the Jags that 6th to get Minshew to have a legit fallback plan. Honestly, if we had a legit backup, I think Sam would've gotten the hook last week and the backup would've gone into today's game as the starter with a full week's preparation. We've see  enough from Sam to know he's not the answer and now we have to stomach eating that 5th year option that we picked up for some reason I'd like to see someone ask Rhule and Fitts about just to watch them squirm.

Panthers must've been living in a fantasy land believing Stafford would throw away the rest of his career in Carolina after wasting his best years in Detroit.

It all goes back to poor/no planning. If they wanted to suck they could have stuck with Teddy this season. Hell I’m not sure that we wouldn’t be 5-2/6-1 right now if we had Teddy as our QB. But we chose to move on with no plan in place. Ended up settling for poo.

I haven't and I want until I see what the team looks like next year. Year 3 is usually the year for coaches, and it will only be year 2 for our GM and we have cap space finally. The results of this offseason along with the product on the field will determine his fate. Better fix that line

Please provide any information to support “year 3 is usually the year for coaches”. That’s completely fabricated just to support your support for him. If a coach doesn’t turn things around year 1/2, they’re usually out the door. 
 

edit: maybe due to the dumb 💩 contract we gave him, year 3 would make sense ***IF things were trending in the right direction which they clearly are not

The free agent QB market was dildos.

The QB that everyone was saying we should have drafted is dildos.

So what do you propose could have been done better, armchair GM with the benefit of hindsight?

It's the same thing with the OL conversation. The free agent offensive lineman were dildos. They're not doing any better.

You can't just manifest players because you want them. They have to be available. Or you have to develop them. Or in the case of Stafford, there has to be enough talent in place for them to WANT to play here. And there just isn't. And that's a problem Rhule inherited from the previous 2 GMs, not one of his own doing. It's going to take time considering we're starting the QB and OL pipeline from scratch. 

And WTF are you talking about with our rookie class. Horn was a stud before his injury and will be a stud. Brady looks promising at LT. Tremble is going to be our starting TE for a decade. And the rest could all emerge as starters. This is still one of the best draft classes in recent memory in terms of short and long term contribution.

When Teddy publicly criticized Rhule's coaching staff he was a dead QB throwing.

The harsh reality of the NFL has humbled Tepper's and Rhule's arrogance today.

They may both be smart men, but they aren't NFL smart, not yet anyway.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
