Panthers haven’t fixed their problems in 2 years of Matt Rhule. They’re making new ones - at CO

Brady was never the offensive genius a few credulous people said he was. But this wasn’t all his fault, either. As for Rhule, if he’s actually built any kind of culture or identity, it’s not apparent. It’s a fragile team, flying high in fair weather and collapsing in the face of adversity. There are too many good players — smart players, tough players — for the Panthers to be this erratic from week to week. That starts at the top.

Since Tepper bought the Panthers in 2018, it’s hard to discern the construction of any long-term foundation at all. It took two years to figure out they wanted to move on from Newton (sort of!) and Ron Rivera and that whole group. They wasted a year moving on from Marty Hurney. They wasted another season and a half with Brady running the offense. This was always going to be a long process. That much was a given. Success was never guaranteed. But at some point, Tepper and Rhule are going to have to start fixing problems they inherited and not ones they created.

These young sports writers at the Observer are giving us something different. Got the feeling the older ones would criticize or predict against the Panthers just to prove they were not homers.  These young ones like Ellis (the newest) and Luke seem to be giving a lot more content.  Hope Tepper is reading them.  

 

(He'll probably try to get them fired...lol)

I can't see this one because it's behind a paywall. Is it an Ellis Williams article?

He's pretty good.

The game(job) is too big for Rhule.

Time to recognize and change course, Tepper.

 

 

Big difference in college and NFL. Even bigger difference in small school football and NFL football. You can't make it on broken parts in the NFL. You have to have the brightest and most skilled FO and coaching to really be successful. Hopefully this sting will allow Tepper to learn and move on. It's extremely important now to allow Fitters to bring in his own guy and have control over the roster. We need to see if he's actually worth his salt because Rhule isn't.

Can't fault Tepper for trying something different.  Dave must have realized Rhule was gonna be a high risk choice.

But it is long past time to get serious about winning in Carolina.

The Panthers have languished for half decade while Tepper tried to figure it out on his own, without expert NFL consultants.  

Seriously Dave, bring in a team of top shelf NFL management ASAP to finally clean this train wreck up.

I suspect Dave/Hurney/both though he/they might be outsmarting the NFL/ahead of the curve with the Rhule hire and all that stuff about analytics and setting up a sport science program that we've never heard anything else about since then. Unfortunately, the rest of the package seems to be lacking.

...I agree we have some decent talent on this team with the exception of oline...and the QB position unsettled.... rhule and co. could have done nothing and been better this year but we have regressed in year two.... i'm not sold on Snow either... only cause of his affiliation rhule, and we all question his decision making abilities at this point.

That's part of my issue with Tepper though. He wants to be the smartest guy in the room...but he's not. 

Every once in a while the league gets someone who wants to do  things different than the norm because he thinks it'll be innovative. Such folks frequently find out that there's good reason why things are done a certain way.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
