Rhule dumb as fug. Remember when we tried playing Kuechly as WLB for his first couple of games? Then the staff said nah he's a MLB for sure and moved him? Rhule would have left him to be WLB because he's dumber than rocks. 0 IQ coach.

And our talent will continue to be wasted and used incorrectly as long as that moron is here.

They moved Kuechly to MLB because Beason got hurt; Beason being healthy is the whole reason they had Luke at WLB in the first place, as they thought that was the best way to get as much talent on the field as possible. They did the same type of thing with Beason in 2010, putting him at WLB, and then again in 2013 before just trading him... he was not a good MLB.

Not really disagreeing with your point here though regarding their personnel decisions (e.g. moving Chinn to safety), just think it's a different situation. That Beason/Kuechly situation though does highlight that guys can truly be suited for a single position and that the 'versatility' approach may not be that great.

That’s the thing, Rhule is always saying a LT’s arms are going to be fully extended. That’s why that extra inch and a quarter “matters”, because maybe they won’t be “fully” extended. But an LT with none of the other assets mentioned is going to get beat every single time.
 

It’s not a perfect world for LT’s, just sticking your arms out every play and moving a little to the left aren’t gonna defend these highly skilled DE/EDGE OLB’s.

Hell, let’s give Rhule the benefit of the doubt, Maybe Christensen isn’t ready to start at LT this year, needs to perfect the scheme and technique for a while longer. Than say that, don’t just say, “OMG his arms are too short”. 

He's been given the benefit of the doubt for almost two years now. I think that Rhule has run out of benefits and is only left with doubts.

I'd guess pure strength is also key. When you have a savage manbeast trying to bulldoze you to smash your QB, it'd help if you can match his ferocity.

This^

Don't get too caught up in "measurable" and overlook the one thing that matters most, toughness. 

If he can hold his own 80-90% of the time he's good enough.  It's up to the coaches to figure out how to help him with the other 10-20% of the time.  

Stop making him master other positions before he gets to play where he's best suited all along.

This is the kind of stuff coaches rely on when they don't know what they're doing.

he's been reading walter football so that pretty much makes him an expert in the draft and personnel decisions. if they say his arms are too short...they're just too short. who is he to argue with dem experts?

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
