Honestly, this might be best for everyone involved. It's just not working out for Rhule at the NFL level but he built two competitive programs out of schools that aren't traditional powerhouses to say the least. With the clout of Penn State behind him he might be able to build a legit contender. Then the Panthers can start over. Again. The question becomes then does Fitterer stay or go? I haven't seen much to hang my hat on him definitely staying.

I say let him stay. He hasn’t done much to the negative yet. Ya he inked the Robbie deal but we all know that came from Rhule getting his guy paid. He went overboard on CB’s. He obviously bought into Rhules program by going for so many later round picks but that was also a symptom of COVID.
 

The Canes did the exact some thing this draft, there were so many unknown in the class it was better to cast a wide net and know you’ll have some failures but also maybe find a gem or two. That said I trust the Canes staff and their farm team(s, junior league partners, foreign powerhouses they are drafting from) to develop their talent way way more than I do Rhule.

Let’s see how things go. Fitts is obviously playing into Rhule’s wants(which is probably what Tepper told him to do), for better or worse. If Tepper cans Rhule I’d like to see what Fitts can do with a real organizational structure and NFL coaching staff of his pick. 

I don’t blame Fitts for our OL woes or Darnold. Rhule definitely claimed to be some kind of prophetic player developer. Offseason “Great OL blah blah blah.”, Darnold being Rhules guy. Giving Rhule this much control was a mistake, but the alternative was Hurney. Another last fug you by Hurney. 
 

But ya, I haven’t seen enough one way or the other and his tenure looks like it will be tainted by Rhule, perhaps permanently.

Yeah, I just don't know how Tepper views him. A legit franchise orchestrated or just a guy to hold Rhule's hand and manage the books for him. If the former, then I'm sure he'd stay. If the latter then I'd expect him to follow Rhule out the door.

Ya that’s a very fair point.

Well you have to at least put picking up the option on Darnold on him I would think

I’m not a fan of OCs that come from systems with franchise QBs. Moore has Dak and Leftwich has Brady…Nagy and Pederson leave a bad taste and honestly probably are some of the main reasons that Bienemy is not a head coach

One thing both of them have going for them is the strength of their olines. That's hard to ignore as an OC and I think it would take someone who has seen the value of calling plays behind a wall rather than a sieve to get us focused on building a respectable line

If Darnold is/was truly Rhules guy I’d say no.  Now ya, you could say all these most likely “yes man” moves to Rhule are on him. He should have put his foot down and said no on the 5th year but how tied were his hands? We probably won’t ever know that unless Rhule goes and he stays.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Off season talk.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
