this place is so much more hostile about ruhle than it was for rivera in 2013

Cutting cam and trotting out bridgewater and the worst starting qb is where a lot of the over the top hate comes from. It’s not just that but that we signed one to a big contract and traded a high pick and a 5th year option pick up for the other.

we suck this year, we’re missing a 2nd and a 3rd for the upcoming draft and Darnold is getting paid 18 million for next year. And the qb class has been deemed not good by many on here for a front half 1st round pick. We don’t have picks in the 2nd or 3rd for olineman. It just feels more hopeless than after Rivera’s first two seasons.  Next year feels like it’ll be the same situation. And we haven’t had a winning season in a bunch of years. All  of that adds to the hate and frustration.

Dumb thread.  Rivera finished 5-of-6 that year. Rhule ?-of-5 to finish the year.  Lucky to be 2.  Ron's club was competitive and had moxie.  Rhule's club, I get the feeling they are already booking vacations.

In Ron's first two years we had a OROY and a DROY….we got anything like that with Rhule?

No question Rivera had better players…leaders, professionals 

this team has shown none of that

Rivera was a well regarded/proven player/NFL DC prior to becoming the Panthers HC.  

Rhule is a coach who took over a couple of failed mid-tier college programs.  He made both competitive prior to jumping ship after three seasons.  Matt  then demanded total control at the pro level.

Rivera's resume was much more robust IMHO.  Even so, JR was ready to fire him if not for Hurney taking the fall instead.

Hurney's rosters were paper thin and full of holes like swiss cheese.

I don't think it is as bad as you are making it out to be. Head coaches of other franchises have had it much worse look at the Lions or Browns. As for Rivera some people hated that man with a passion and we aren't even close to that with Rhule. Ease up on the hyperbole.

I'm not sure it's as much about football or the situation as it is with people generally being more angry online and wanting a pat on the back for supporting the mob.

 

It's the same as it's ever been. When you're on a losing streak and getting blown out regularly all there is to talk about is negativity. Folks like you acting like this just started recently are either trolling or just confused.

fiz off the top rope!

I dont get it either. 

[frankw]

So do you have any arguments to justify Rhule and Fitterer's failed moves @electro's horseor is this pity party the best thing you got going?

[frankw]

No back to back winning seasons 7 winning seasons in a quarter century but you better not say unkind things about these coaches on the internet!
