There are NFL coaches that need 3 years to get talented players and build a culture and scheme that fits the personnel.  They need 3 years plus.  Then there are non-NFL coaches who have a talented roster but ruin opportunities and seasons with terrible scheme and misuse of personnel.  They need to go and go quickly.  Rhule is the latter.

I look at it like this. Ron Rivera had Cam and Luke when we went to the Superbowl and I feel like better coaching, preparation and in game adjustments could have got us the win. Do I think Matt Rhule has the traits to get us the win in the same situation? No I don't. 

It's laughable you think Rhule could have even gotten that team and that talent to a super bowl.

I mean, if players are really talking about him like this... 😳

Worth remembering theres a lot of friendships between these two rosters.

Posted it in a thread a couple weeks ago, but a friend of mine was watching a game at a party where Kuechly and other former Panthers were.  Luke & Bersin (yes, Bersin) were both yelling "F that guy" at the TV about Rhule.  I don't think he has many allies in the NFL, and there's a method to him loading up on Temple/Baylor guys who've bought into his BS already. He can't win over a pro locker room, can't win over former players, and we're never going to attract or retain anyone of worth here who doesn't have a connection to Rhule from college.

I know it's a bad time of year, but seriously, we need to go ahead and tell Rhule he won't be back so we can at least interview some actual NFL coaches early.  I don't even need his firing to be immediate, I just need us to let him know and start the process of finding a real coach.

This is what I expect to happen on Black Monday.

Hello everybody from a long-time Panther- Fan from Germany.

This is my first post...sorry for my bad english. 

Firing Rhule?

Of course,  natural!!

Why wait? Waiting for what? A miracle?

 

Can't wait to see "my" team to play a game here in Germany. 

But please, please with another HC at the sideline. 

We need to get a real NFL Coach and Rhule isn't it.

Up until a few weeks ago, I was all for being patient for his third year. The facelift on defense and securing WR/RB and potentially TE of the future, along with Moton in years one and two made me believe that one more offseason to dig in hard on OL would be the difference. 

Nope.

His pressers are becoming unwatchable and if we as fans can see through the BS, no way the players, front office and our Owner doesn't. 

Bye.

Still on the wait and see path.

Nothing from yesterdays game made the case for firing any stronger (it probably makes it weaker). IMO the team played hard and overall looked better than the previous week; Penalties were down and they didn't turn the ball over until the game was already decided.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
