How does a team just keep getting worse and worse?

I feel like something is in the works other than this just being a bad coaching staff. The game plans have been vanilla, the players have given up. Maybe Matt Rhule is planning to head back to college. Some good openings coming up and he clearly doesn’t have an NFL future

This defense just got run over.  They could not stop or cover anything. And the offense.....

How do these guys just keep getting worse?

The only thing about this team that seems to have improved is the kicking game.  At least they finally found a pk.

 

 

They weren’t good in the first place.

He checked out last season.  Look at some of his off season interviews, he was finished before this season started.

You have to wonder if Rhule really ever wanted to coach this team. He seemed pretty content at Baylor, had a nice house and his family was comfortable there. But Tepper threw so much money at him it’s hard to say no. I mean who could blame him? But this is what happens when you hire a guy who might never have wanted the job in the first place.

I believe at first he was excited about the opportunity. Sometime last season, I believe he realized he was in over his head. Some of his interviews in the off-season you could tell he just wasn’t in it.

Because NFL teams, good ones, do film study and they totally understand what a team is doing  and why, and if that team being filmed keeps doing the same thing overly and over again, the one thing they do well, is taken away

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
