Let's revisit this painfully accurate article for some self-depricating laughs.

On Matt Rhule:

Quote

When you hire a college coach, you get a college coach. Always and forever. 

Can’t believe a coach from Baylor would turn out to be a diseased fraud, but there you have it.

On Sam Darnold:

Quote

Just a slobby quarterback mouthbreathing his way around the field, going DUHHH HERE’S THE BALL DUHHH.

On Scott Fitterer:

Quote

Fitterer traded for Darnold and arguably made the Panthers’ QB situation worse in the process. He drafted no one special. His best running back won’t get vaccinated. And he handed $6 million guaranteed to guard Pat Elflein, who was so shitty that the Vikings, who have one of the worst lines in football, cut his ass midseason. Honeymoon’s over. You guys are fuged.

What the fans thought:

Quote

We traded for the guy who sees ghosts. I’m going to be a ghost before this team wins a Super Bowl. 

Christian McCaffrey is going to go 1.1 in every fantasy league and then suffer another season-ending injury by Week 3. 

It’s this poo every year. Our dump of a franchise didn’t know how good they had it with Cam. Fans bitched and moaned about him every year, and now we get to watch fuging Sam Darnold turn the ball over 34 times this season.

This team will always spiritually belong to Jerry Richardson.

David Tepper is yet another obnoxious Yankee who’s moved down south to stretch his money.

This team’s brightest spot is its social media team.

Christian McCaffrey is like watching Cam Newton’s career on 2x speed.

Matt Rhule continues the proud tradition of college coaches flaming out in the NFL.

Painful accuracy in this article on all accounts. I think the only thing they whiffed on was the Panthers leading the NFL in COVID cases. I guess that's something to be proud of?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
