Also, AZ was quick to cut ties with their previous HC (1 year)when it was clear things weren't going to work out.  Now they are challenging for the top of their division with LA, SF and Seattle.  Sometimes, to have a successful franchise, you've gotta know when to cut bait.

Wilks was 3-13 with a franchise that had been average or better every year under Arians. Huge difference. 2019 Carolina was 5-11 with one of the worst and oldest rosters in the league.

Yep.  

2018 - hired a new HC, drafted a top 10 QB

2019- hired a new HC, drafted a top 10 QB 

AZ fugged up, admitted it, and moved on.

AZ didn’t have a winning season the two years prior to Wilks getting the job and Wilks drafted and was working with a rookie QB

While I appreciate what you're saying, in the final analysis, Rhule has failed for two years to properly address the short comings of his offense, and in trying to fix them, misdiagnosed the situation and made things even worse.

If Rhule isn't on the hot seat with Tepper by now, he needs to be.

our own Steve Wilks for a college coach. Go figure.

The same folks who are saying Rhule is over his head and needs to be fired, are the same who said:

1. Brian Burns is a bust and never willl be a NFL DE
2. Shaq Thompson is a bust
3. Not resigining Curtis Samuel was a mistake
4. Donte Jackson should get cut, he is garbage
5. CMC will never be able to run between the tackles and is just a WR
and so much more....

All knowledgeless impatient and emotional comments. There is so much we don't know but we act like we are confucious. 

Not true. I said 0 of those 5 things.

Rhule is in over his head and needs to be fired.

Me neither and I totally can see the guy in over his head.

This is a ball of suck rolling down a snow covered hill getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Villagers better run.

They'd never swallow their pride enough to do it, but I wouldn't mind seeing Cam come back at this point.  Who knows if he would even want to.

Can you imagine a Rhule presser admitting how badly they screwed up the last 2 QB deals? I think Tepper would have to clean house and personally ask Cam which won't happen. He'd rather offer Watson his pick of coaching staff and free agent picks

You could argue that 2021 Carolina is just as bad. This offense is probably worse than the one led by Kyle Allen in 2019. The defense being younger and faster has made no difference because the current staff has mismanaged one half of the operation into oblivion for two years straight. The results show on the field.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
