Joe wanted Teddy. He brought this on himself.

Teddy frankly made sense if Rhule wanted to get rid of Cam.   Teddy gets the O up and running in a COVID world.  Check.  Teddy was probably the only one who could do that. You then draft a kid to come in and take the job from Teddy and he has two years to take it from him. 

That's an actual plan. 

Rhule then scrapped the logical plan because Teddy hurt people's feelings with too much truth.  Teddy can still be meh QB and spot what a college coaching staff is doing wrong.  

Joe Brady didn't bring this on himself.  Rhule got rid of Teddy.  Rhule brought in Sam.  Rhule sent us backwards.  Joe Brady didn't do that.  Rhule is the one without a plan.

I get this to a certain extent. He needed someone who knew the offense in a covid year where players couldn’t meet until training camp. That’s difficult. What I don’t get is the price tag we paid Teddy and the years. That was crazy.

And also I said last year that if you draft a franchise qb and he doesn’t fit your offense then you fire the OC and bring in someone who is capable of designing the system to the guy you drafted. If Brady couldn’t do that then he needed to be gone. Teddy was always suppose to be a bridge for another drafted qb. They didn’t draft another qb and doubled down on Sam Darnold. The plan should’ve been to keep cam, draft a qb and bring in a vet like Teddy that could come in if cam couldn’t stay healthy (he ended up staying healthy in 2020)

Tep gave rhule 7 years....thats 3 years to build and 5 to gain nfl experience. to learn and make mistakes.....so by year 6 we should be good. Blame whoever you want...

Rhule's contract says 7 years.  Lot of coaches have had contracts that said a whole bunch of years too.  But when you suck, you go.

interesting.  I think Teddy was supposed to be a bridge as well.  But then Darnold became available and they thought he would be as good as any rookie they could get (and they get to keep their first rounder).  That's why they kept saying they consider Darnold a "rookie" even though he'd been around awhile.  Arguably they were right from a wins and losses standpoint as Darnold is (was?) 4-5 whereas Lawrence is 2-10, Wilson is 2-6, Lance is 0-1, and Fields is 2-6. 

Can't get behind keeping Cam though.  Not sure Teddy would come if Cam was still here and after the prior 3 seasons, there was serious doubt whether Cam would ever throw a ball more than 20 yds again.  Teams would stack the box and it would get ugly fast.

I think Tepper is focused on putting buuts in BOA stadium for not one but now TWO professional sports teams. 

Does Rhule look to help with that? Or does Rhule help set the narrative that Tepper is a bumbling sports owner.   There is a soccer crossever IMO.  And yeah, Tepper needs people to believe in him too to maximze the money for both teams. 

I won't pay a dime to go see Matt Rhule/Sam Darnold next season.   Nor will I pay to watch his soccer club.  Owner has to show more than Tepper is.

If you screw up at work, is it because your boss hired you?

It can be. 

Take a simple reality called overpromotion.  Management can easily take a good hard working employee.....and create a bad employee.  For example, let's say you are a great salesman.   A great salesman can be overpromoted and into a job he isn't actually good at. 

Now, whose fault is that?

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      Front office/scouting staff changes

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
