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.

    • No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.
    • Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.
    • I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
