As far as Rhule's contract, it simply shouldn't make a big difference in Tepper's decision making process.  The amount of money we're talking about amounts to almost nothing in terms of Tepper's net worth.

My thing is if he's thinking over whether to give one more year, he might be more willing to pull the trigger easier If he can get out at 50-60%.

This guy uses coupons at fast food restaurants and makes his friends pay for him, don't be quick to assume he's ready to just burn 50 million dollars.

25 million maybe, but 50 million is a $HITTON of money.

Perhaps Tepper is that tight with his organization's money.  Guess we'll find out soon enough.  Not much longer until the Panthers season will be coming to an end.  At that point Tepper will have a decision to make when it comes to Rhule.

I don’t think it’s a money thing as much as it’s a image thing. I don’t think Tepper wants to look stupid and wants to be patient. I think he would spend twice the money today if he knew it was the right choice and wouldn’t get chastised by every talking head on TV that needs something to talk about in the off season.

You all are thinking of it the wrong way.

 

Think of it in terms of net loss.

 

Fire Rhule - Net loss of 50 million

Keep Rhule - loss of fans, merch sales, concessions, appearances, and all the other $$ this team makes for many seasons.

 

I'd wager the second one is more than 50 million.

For the first season since moving here, I have not attended one single game in person. I have watched all of them on TV though. I think Baylor/Temple college coach Matt Rhule has shown us that he is not ready for the NFL ( neither would I be ). Lets move on and get a NFL worthy coaching staff. The Carolinas deserves it.

What Fitters does moving forward is more important. We need talent and franchise players. I'm not really sure how he's going to go get that with Rhule having total control and running a college program.

Tickets and concessions aren't as much as people think actually.  I think average team makes 7 mill from tickets and like 4 to 5 mill on concessions and after expenses is single digit profit.   It's all about profit sharing and TV deals and big corporate sponsers.   Sadly BofA being in a transplant town also means tickets will keep being sold and concessions when we suck. 

Anyway I don't think Tepper bought this franchise to make money.  It's a rich guy hobby.  Retirement.  NFL teams are worth so much now it's not like you can make a ton of profit buying them.  We just have to hope he doesn't get bored and move on lol.  I don't think firing Rhule impacts this guy at all.  He's made more money in the pandemic probably than before.

If Tepper decided to pull the plug after this season, a big consideration is Matt Rhule is due 5 years 100% guaranteed at $10 million... so 50 million

If I'm not mistaken, those buyouts usually don't equal "coach gets a check" there's terms that usually say if terminated, you can accept this lump sum amount or get payments of the remaining balance over 10-12 years, but if you accept payments you cannot accept another job.

 

I'm just wondering if Matt's contract is as iron clad as made out? Usually most coaches don't ever usually get 100% of that guaranteed amount unless they take payments, so they get a lump sum of 50-60%.

I'll take 25 million and pack my bags.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
