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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
