Hero to Zero

Has any Coach/QB combo gone from Hero to Zero in a shorter timeframe than Rhule and Darnold?

I can get over Darnold sucking, but I am most disappointed with Rhule.  I really thought he was going to be good. 

I knew Darnold was bad. Been saying it all year when he was barely competent against poo teams. 

But damn, man... Rhule's coaching gets worse with each game. 3 Points? Against the Giants? Whew... 

It is possibly the most embarrassing loss in the history of this franchise.

I had low expectations for Sam but I thought Rhule/Brady would be a good enough coach to get the most out of him. Some of the game management decisions have really made me question whether or not Rhule is the coach of the future.

Im seeing a lot of pre Riverboat Ron tendencies in him. Add the fact that he thought it would be ok to go into the season with this oline and this starting QB makes me question if he's in over his head.

Definitely the worst loss of the Rhule era.  Total embarrassment.  He's trending in the wrong direction and may have lost the locker room.

Rhule had the Panthers looking great to start the season.  So much promise and hope, and then....  Panthers got exposed by good teams and now its gotten so bad, they're losing to bad teams.  What a fraudulent start to the season!!!  I guess Rhule isn't the answer.

I think he is starting to lose the team. When that happens that seat gets real hot. 

We haven't seen definitive signs of that yet, IMO. I see a lot of frustration on the offensive players faces.

If the defense starts laying down, that will be a sign that things are over. We have seen players lay down on coaches more than one time in our franchise history. It has never happened and the coach NOT get fired.

Ive been trying to think of worse losses. Yes we have gotten beat way worse before on the scoreboard. The losses that come to mind are the Pittsburgh and SF beatdowns in back to back seasons. And the 41-0 loss to the falcons in 02. The Cam “wardrobe game” against Seattle.

But all of those teams had playoff caliber rosters and were good teams objectively. I’m struggling to remember a blowout loss of this magnitude to a team as bad as the giants.

I’m thinking of DJ and Robby’s faces on the sideline. They have to be thinking “this guy was sold on Teddy and now Darnold….” It’s probably more frustration that anything, but that’s how it starts. IMO DJ should be a top 10 WR in this league. Get him a real QB and his stats will explode.

The loss to the Cardinals following the bye had everyone FREAKING out.  Maybe the score differential wasn't as bad in other games, but I'd argue that loss is definitely one of the worst regular season ones we had.  Everyone had basically given up on Ron Rivera at that point.  Cam's 3rd season and he still hadn't cut out the bad throws.  Smith dropped hella throws that game.

It was bad.  As angry as fans have been since Sunday... I still don't think it compares to the reaction/negativity following that game.  That game basically forced Ron Rivera to turn into Riverboat Ron.

We also lost to a bad Bills team with EJ Manuel in Week 2 lol

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
