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

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
