Sam is done here, and if Rhule doesn't make a move, he will lose the entire team.

This thread is spot on. Being at the game today, none of the offense was communicating on the sidelines in the second half. Several defensive players (Shaq notably) talking to PJ while we had the ball. The team was anticipating the change that never came. They know Darnold ain't it.

Thanks for the additional information, LG.  TBH, after listening to Rhule's presser, it sounds like he was giving Sam one last reprieve.  He specifically said he wanted to give Sam a chance to "play himself out of it," referring to the bad plays he had already made today.  I view it as though he was giving him his last chance altogether.  He seemed very forthcoming about how he felt about it and said "the QB can't turn the ball over."  When asked of he felt like he could still win with Sam, he reiterated that the QB can't turn the ball over and wouldn't commit to him moving forward.  He also defended Robby's outburst towards Sam, saying it was after the third turnover and everyone on the team was frustrated because they knew they couldn't win the game with that kind of play.

I understand giving him his last real shot to NOT give the job up, but not at the expense of losing the rest of the team while he does indeed lose the job...  because he lost the game and badly, in the process.  I dont know that PJ would've done any better, but he couldn't have done any worse, and I feel like the team knew that, which is what makes this worse...  it feels like Rhule left the team out to dry at expense of doing Sam a solid.

Well now we see what happens next.

Rhule stuck his neck out for Sam and Sam stepped on it.

If he trots out Sam next week, he deserves to get fired.

The only option now is to cut Sam.  

It's not like Tepper couldn't afford to eat that 5th year option.

 

Cut him and put James Morgan out there.   Can't be any worse than Sam.  NO F*CKING WAY.

And you know what, ole Sam is going to get $18 million next year if he never plays another down for the Panthers

The crazy thing is I'm pretty sure whatever happened in practice was so very bad that they knew Darnold at his worst was better than PJ... 

I'd love to see them give Morgan and PJ more chances just because Darnold is done and everyone has lost confidence in him.  Doesn't matter if PJ is worse or not, at least it would look like they're trying something...

Sorry but if they trot out PJ, they are just giving up.

If they trot out Morgan, THAT is evidence that they are at least TRYING. 

Fans need to see SOMETHING here after this embarassing debacle.

PJ hasn't had a start yet this season so I wouldn't be surprised if he got that chance...

I wonder who is sitting at home on a couch or on a PS they could pilfer, lol.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
