I'm not opposed to just flat out firing him because despite posters calling me negative and not a Panthers fan, both Teddy and Darnold turned out exactly how I said they would. It wasn't hard to predict. They are what they are. I really thought having Teddy fail would've shown them that you can't rely on reclamation projects, but no. They just doubled down and went with the polar opposite type of reclamation project. From smart but physically limited to physically talented but not mentally cut out for the NFL.

Only reason I don’t want them to fire Rhule is because I’m terrified they are going to Hire Bienemy. I just really think he’s not going to be a good HC.

Crazily enough Teddy certainly isn't a long term franchise-defining player but I bet weve got a couple more wins with him at least. He is playing much better in Denver.

He's better than Darnold for sure. This staff was just done with him when he threw them under the bus blaming them for getting the play call in late so that he couldn't audible to a running play when he sailed it over the head of a wide open DJ Moore in the endzone. And honestly? I can't blame them. I would've been done with him too.

I'm beginning to think the problems with the offense is a lot more than just the QB.  We ditched TB because he couldn't get it into the end zone, couldn't lead a game winning drive... He's doing that now in Denver, and he certainly has worse around him... I don't think he's the answer but maybe be wasn't wrong about some things here.

OL is really important and this staff hasn't gotten the message. We spent a ton of money bringing Joe Brady here but we haven't given him much to work with at QB and in the trenches. We have great weapons, but trash at QB and trash at OL. It's like spending a ton of money on a race car driver then putting him in a clapped out F150 with nice tires and wheels and wondering why you're not winning races. Well, no poo you're not winning races. Same thing with Brady and the offense. If you suck at OL and you suck at QB, you're gonna suck on offense. Just no way around it. I'm not absolving Brady of any and all blame, I'd just like to see what the guy we thought was a wunderkind could do if we gave him something to work with.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st.

      I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
