The real world changes things...for some of us, anyway.

Yeah, that's true. 

I don't think anyone here has a patent on perfection. As for me, I always try to give my favorite franchise and all those involved some leeway before I form an opinion. It's just how I've always rolled. I can appreciate those that in theory, and even in fact, believe that they know some things about the game or the personnel that I don't. At the end of the day it's mostly educated guessing in my opinion anyway. So no need for peacocking and getting ugly and personal (at least initializing getting ugly and personal).

The Panthers just got us all fuged up at the moment--more than usual. 🤣

I'm on for the same reason I always have been. I enjoy talking about football.

Granted, sometimes it's not as much fun as others.

I think the state of things has everything to do with that. A couple of years ago, things were new and we were arguably overachieving however modest. Then Rhule began putting his stamp on the team in earnest, and his moves helped stamp out any vestiges of enthusiasm  that anyone could even fool themselves with until the realization that we appear to be in a worse position now, in key ways, than when the Rhule era began.

Yeah, not reading this either.

Keep talking if you feel like it, dude. I learned a while ago you're not someone worth engaging in conversation so I don't really care to do more than drop a random insult. 

Declare yourself a winner and pat yourself on the back if it makes you feel better. Being a big deal on this message board seems to mean something to you. Not sure what that says about your life in the real world but hey...

As usual. You don’t read it but can respond. Sure…go with that. 
 

  I’m not worth engaging, but you did, at least until it was turned towards your ignorance and hypocrisy. Then you were too good to engage. 
 

And the last statement is adorable. The person with over 100,000 posts on here telling anyone else it’s them that wants to be a “big deal” is typically hypocritical of you. You live on here. I go weeks without even looking at this site. You post every thought and quote that pops in your head. You would lose your mind if this place shut down. What’s that say about your sad existence.

Fair.

Heck, up till earlier this year, there were plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

But man, did things go into the toilet fast.

To be clear, I haven't had all that much issue with the past two years draft picks. Free agency hasn't been as kind to us but it hasn't necessarily been awful.

Still, I think the real problem this year hasn't been either of those things as much as it's been coaching.

Yes, coaching has been bad. Talking about not putting players into the best position to succeed, and the worst part might be (what I see as) no kind of perceptible adjustments from game to game, much less on game day. Rhule talks a good game, but he seems either pigheaded, thickheaded, or just unable to adapt. And, yeah, maybe it's not him but his coordinators, but the buck stops with Matt Rhule. He seems to be over his head.

I don't necessarily hate most of the personnel decisions either (but the ones on the O-line), but what I absolutely blame Rhule for is signing Bridgewater to anything more than a prove-it deal (meaning that we should've just let him go to the Windy City) and making a similar error by extending Darnold before he had proven to be anything than just more of the same. And, by extension (pun not intended), I will say that though I didn't necessarily hate passing on Fields, but I absolutely thought we were going to pick Fields when he fell to us. Considering our situation, that was probably was just as unforgivable as spending good money--real and draft compensation--on bad. Now we're in the matrix of QB purgatory with no clear way to escape...and some relatively valuable draft capital.

I guess I missed that one. My girlfriends tired of hearing me complain about Rhule. I wanted Josh McDaniels from that round of hires and then I decided I just have to try to support our guy but he made it hard. Ready for the next chapter.

Agreed on the next chapter. As long as it's NOT Josh McDaniels.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
