Losing Out is the Way


Recommended Posts

Only way Rhule should have another year is if we win out. Not 4-1 or 3-2. He has to win out if I’m making that decision. He has fuged up too many times this season to get any leeway at all and put us in this mess with off-season decisions. I think that’s fair. ATL, Saints, Bills and Bucs twice. That’s 3 games against playoff teams.

The Panthers are cursed. We are Sisyphus. The Greek myth where he is punished in the underworld by the god Zeus, who forces him to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity. Every time he nears the top of the hill, the boulder rolls back down.

I don’t even care what they do anymore. I am getting too old to care after 20+ years of rooting for this team. It’s just better for everyone to not care to be honest.

I'm usually team tank at this stage but it's important we use these last few games to make the call on Cam going forward. Don't even care about Rhule or the playoffs. 

Would it make you feel better if I told you that Cam should be here next year regardless of the outcome of the next 5 games?  Why?  What some of these guys can't get through their thick skulls is drafting a rookie QB this year is about as pointless as washing your hands before taking a crap instead of afterwards.  If I even have to explain why even further proves my point.

I'm not the biggest Cam advocate, and I surely don't think he's ever going to be pre-2017 Cam again, but I do believe he's the best option for a bridge QB until the 2023 draft.

You are so right.

We have to finished tied or worse than the Giants, who have the tie breaker over us and worse than the Bears.  Why?  The G-men have two first rounders (they own the Bears pick and if all other things stay the same as they are currently other than these three teams, we'd move up TWO spots in the draft.  One additional win could really spoil that scenario.

If we drafted Herbert my guess is that we wouldn’t have had the draft slot to get 3 1sts from the niners the following year. 
 

still though you’re right. Having Herbert changes the entire direction of this franchise. Matt rhule wanted to trade down, Hurney wanted Herbert. Matt rhule needs to be fired. 
 

And even if we didn’t trade up for Herbert, fine. This staff double downed on their stupidity and passed on fields for Darnold. Too many mistakes to keep this staff in place. They need to go.

People want Herbert now but most were trashing him pre-draft. For all the mistakes Hurney made over the years he could have drafted us two franchise quarterbacks within a decade if our owner didn't give full control to a college coach 🥴

I was one of those people. He’s a mega introvert and reports are he had teammates talk for him in team meetings in college. I liked his ability but that was a huge red flag for me. Won’t make that mistake again!

36 tds 10 picks and over 4K yards his rookie year? And it looks like he’s gonna put up similar or better numbers this year. Damn. Hurney needed to go but that would’ve been a nice parting gift.

Hurney's parting gift to us was Matt Rhule.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
