I've said it a few times recently. Both seasons look eeriely similar. Promising start followed by a faceplant a few games in and no ability to adapt and recover. I think they're right. It's just college coaches doing college coaching. They think they can simply out-execute everyone else. Scheming? Nah. We do what we do. We just have to execute better. That's probably why Rhule couldn't beat good college teams either. When he ran into more talented teams in college he lost. When he runs into teams that have a few games of film to study at the NFL level, he loses more often than not. Phil Snow has floated this turd. He's the only coach on this staff who has somewhat impressed me schematically.

 


I think Rhule’s strength is recruiting and motivating young college guys. He’s not a football tactician. 

He really should re-evaluate his strengths and stick to them. He’d be much happier.

There’s nothing short of a 5-0 finish that would want me to keep Rhule around. 

I definitely see your point of view. If you could convince me that a guy could come in and make this team immediately better with the current personnel I'd be all for terminating Rhule. Thing is, that would be hard to do without a solid QB on the roster. We also need to revamp the O-line. It's gonna be hard filling both of those holes with only 1 pick during the first two days of the 2022 draft. Free agency is an option to help us, but we can't assume that Carolina is going to be a desired destination for this year's class of free agents after the 2021 season.

This would be a much more desirable job for a new coach was coming in with 2nd and 3rd round choices intact. A new coach would literally be starting out with an immediate disadvantage. He'd have to be able to maximize the players contracted talent under contract for 2022 ...AND...hit on practically every day 3 draft choices to put us in a competitive situation.

Yes. A complete shitshow on the offensive side of the ball and we have players like Terrance Marshall not even getting a jersey on Sundays. I think we can win Sunday and I think we might have a chance playing against TB at the end of the year because they will be resting people. I’ll also not be surprised if we go 0-5 to end the year. 

I'd say 9 out of 10 times when you fire a coordinator mid-season the team gets worse.

...Offense has its probs but they are right...we have too much talent to be performing this shtty.   9-3 wasn't out of the realm of possibility... Brady was too young to have that position... his play calling was immature, his plays where immature...he was immature.... rhule gambled and lost.

Rhule's the one running an amatuer hour football team.   Can't let Joe Brady blind us from that primary issue.

We could lose the rest of our games and Rhule will still be coach next year. Tepper ain’t giving up on him after years. I didn’t want him in the first place but Tepper ain’t reading to admit he was dead wrong on this one. As fans get ready to watch this organization crumble tot the ground with Tepper as owner.

The OP's video pretty much states what many here already know, Matt Rhule is in over his head and another year isn't going to change that.  If he is here in 2022, is there any doubt it will be another wasted season of Panthers football?

Dave Tepper took a chance on Matt and it didn't work out.  It happens.  However, Dave doesn't strike me as someone that would hesitate to terminate any employee once he's convinced that person is a detriment to the organization.

If Tepper's facial expressions during Panthers games are any indication...

You nailed it on Snow carrying Rhule. If our offense wasn’t so bad the defense would look even better.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
