Glad I am not the only one who feels this way. That pretty much sums my feelings up exactly.

I remember you saying I was ‘crying about’ these things back in October 

I’ve just seen enough to call it as I see it   Gives me zero pleasure.   it really doesnt take long to see if a staff gets the NFL or they don’t

It was a slow burn for me. Rhule had me intrigued and was saying all the right things so I was sipping the kool aid.

Barring us winning out (lol) I’m completely done with him as a coach. He’s a fraud and doesn’t belong in this league.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have changed ownership and become an utter trainwreck. If Rhule is retained it's not out of the question that I could get lured away to whatever Sam Howell's ultimate destination is. I would be at least as interested in following that team as I am this current iteration of the Panthers.

Just being honest. 😞

I still have some hope.

The Defense has gotten a lot more talent and much younger.  That bodes well for the future.

The team has two rookie OL to try out for the rest of the season.  Hopefully at least one of them shows he can be an NFL lineman.   If both do, that's a huge plus.  

The first pick in the draft should be for an OL, which means an immediate starter.  

Dead money on the cap is being significantly reduced next year.

These are all positives.

The QB position is still unclear but Rome wasn't built in a day.   Rebuilds take time and there's a lot to like as to what has been done lately.  I'd rather see the team get built correctly than reach for a sub-par QB this draft and then have to start the whole process over again in 2 years.  

My biggest concern for the team is probably coaching - specifically the OC.  I don't see Joe Brady getting any more skilled with experience.  He  just keeps doing the same poor job.  His lack of growth and lack of adjustments, either in game or over the course of the season, has been troublesome.  I just don't see him getting any better.  So he will need to be replaced.

Cam's return is pretty much the only thing keeping me even a little interested in this team right now. CMC has gone from a bonafide workhorse superstar that I got into a FF auction draft bidding war for 2-3 years ago to someone who can't stay on the field because he keeps getting over-used when he's healthy. The defense has been figured out. Just run off-tackle with a RB who isn't a shrimp and you're golden. Rhule has gone from an interesting coach who seemed to be making progress to a "culture" salesman with no substance and no answers. I strongly believe that his "culture" would only fly in college at a place like Baylor or Temple. I had hoped Rhule would be an offensive-minded coach but his approach reminds me  of John Fox. Rely on the defense and your running game and get just enough from your QB to win by 3-7 points. Rhule just talks more behind the podium and is more aggressive with his situational playcalling. But Fox was ultra-conservative, so not hard to outdo him in risk-taking.

I've looked over all the bottom fish in the NFL and while the Panthers may not be the worst team in the NFL they probably have the worst outlook of any team over the next 5 years....

....from ownership to coaching to front office/scouting and player personnel they seem to have insurmountable problems in the near term to 5 years out at least.....

It’s bad news for the franchise …all the way around 

who knows, maybe he is some miracle worker 

all I know is I watch a lot of pro  teams play that look like pro teams,  the Panthers aren’t one of them

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
