Newton and Rhule

Just for a moment here, I'd like to ask everyone to put aside their opinions about Cam Newton's abilities, his personality, his social media, what should have been done with him, what shouldn't have been done with him, etc.

(yeah, I get what I'm asking, but hear me out...)

I want to ask for opinions on one very specific topic.

How do you view Matt Rhule's relationship with Cam Newton?

What is it that informs you of your ideas one way or the other?

Oil and water

All Matts comments he made to public, more than a few.

How I see it, is that Cam respects Rhule as the head coach because he is a professional, but he's frustrated that we've been losing games. It seems that Rhule is probably frustrated that Cam is back, because he never wanted to be Cam's head coach. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Tepper went over Rhule's head and brought Cam back.

I do not think Rhule likes Cam. He already made up his mind the first go round that Cam was not going to fit into his glorious system. He viewed Cam's personality as a threat to "do your job" and it's "not about one player". He never even gave Cam a chance. I believe the only reason he's back is Tepper dictated it as a desperation to rejuvenate the fan base and potentially make a playoff run...both of which make Tepper a lot more money. Once Cam got here, Rhule took subtle shots at and downplayed the energy that Cam brought with him. I do think that Rhule did slightly change his tune once he got to see Cam's work ethic and how much of a leader he was. But, this terrible strategy of "don't forget about my guy PJ because he knows the 2-minute offense better" and forcing him into the game is a pathetic display of nepotism.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
