At the very least Rhule should lose personel decisions.

Yep. Too bad they didn't take Oline high the last couple drafts. A rookie might succeed if they had.

One Lance was gone, and Sewell too, I wanted us to trade back and take Slater.  Could you imagine if we had Slater and an extra day 2 pick this coming draft?  We could trade back, get another day 2 pick and still probably get Linderbaum.  That would have been Slater, Brown, Linderbaum, Christensen and Moton for next year.

I would have taken Slater at 8 and been happy as can be. In the second round, I wouldn't have traded back and taken the best IOL available. Then repeated that in the third.

He has basically been coach/gm in terms of talent acquisition.

 

It's obvious he sucks at it and that is a huge reason for the mess we are in.

 

If you aren't going to fire Rhule, then at least hand off all personel decisions to Fitterer and Morgan. 

I agree 100%.  I was hoping the headlines would read, "Rhule has been fired".  No such luck.

When do they ever get a stop with the game in the line ?

film  has made ole Phil pretty easy to Cusco around 

how many weeks have people been running at will on that left side AND he had a bye week to get it fixed and STILL couldn’t stop it 

 

 

Coming into the week, the Panthers were 6th in points allowed at 19.8 points per game. 

The defense is obviously flawed but it’s been good so far this season

True, but that would have been a reach based on his value and ultimately where he was drafted.  Once the team decided Fields was not going to be the pick, we could have shopped the #8 pick instead of taking a corner.

They did and only the bears made an offer.  Trading back in the first is not as easy as just saying you are going to trade back.  It will/should take a kings ransom to move off of a top 10 pick. 

 

How would picking slater been a reach?  He is an all pro right now.  He has started from day 1.  There was never going to be an adjustment period for him.  He was always a plug and play left tackle.  Rhule and his dumb ass arm length fuged that up tremendously.   I never understand the BPA strategy or calling picks a reach etc.  If you scouted the player, if that position is a need and said player comes in and is productive how the fug is that a "reach".  Trust your scouting process.

Yep. I did say I don't agree doing it, but I have a feeling they will regardless if Rhule is here or not.

I get that there are people who think a new quarterback is the answer to every problem.

But I'd also like to think several of us understand that's not really true.

I don't care about the "value". If the guy I want is there, I'll take him to make sure I get him.

    • I'll be patiently waiting to see what OL additions we snatch off the waiver wire.
    • Look don't get me wrong here. I'm not arguing it's going to just change his arm talent overnight. I'm just saying doing anything on the physical front after the GM who stuck his neck out for him over the concerns around his physical traits got fired is better than doing nothing. That's another layer. It could easily be argued overall he needed to add at least 10 pounds not just for the sake of working in the pocket and not going down so easily but let's be honest eventually no matter how much we invest in the OL he's going to get hit some and those hits will add up. His frame as it stands is only going to absorb so much over a 17 game season. Oh definitely good or bad we will have to run a lot of under center stuff. Bryce will either look good or flounder. But our offense will remain stagnant if we just keep running shotgun plays 90% of the time. You're telegraphing your offense otherwise. That's why I'm not giving Chuba Hubbard too hard of a time over his YPC last year. We weren't fooling anyone. We'll see what Canales has cooked up. It better be pretty damn clever.
    • Why would a team ever not be aggressive in improving the roster? It may look different from year to year but even the best rosters churn at the bottom. That's a no-brainer.
