I do agree they should have played some but it's not always common for rookies to come in and make an instant impact.    Sometimes some time before being thrown in the fire is better.  Again I dont think that is really the case here because it couldnt get much worse but I am saying if you're looking for mid to late round rookies to come in and save you that's not always for the best.

Not looking for mid round rookies to come in and save us. But if you draft 2 offensive linemen, and during the short time they get to play, they actually don't look bad, you play them. Especially if they played better than the guys currently starting. And it's not like we're talking about 1 or 2 bad games. These guys have been horrible all season. We're not winning. We're not really even competing. Heading into the off-season, you need to know what you have to be able to build a better team.

By coming out and saying Darnold is going to play this week, it looks like he's going to treat the rest of the year like preseason. Well, except for the part about actually playing guys to see if they might be any good like Brown and BC. 

Well, he ain’t going to treat it like preseason if he plans on playing Sam.  Remember, Sam didn’t need preseason play per Matt Rhule.    Opposing coaches set up some practices and that was all Sam really needed.

For the start of the season and ongoing, Matt Rhule's been banging the table on establishing his brand and identity for the team. Of course, as the losses kept piling up with no direction in sight, that brand and identity is certainly unknown to many.

Nevertheless, meandering through twitter, I came across a tweet that perfectly encapsulates exactly the brand and identity the Panthers carry this season.

The Panthers are mere practice squad fodder. Simply put, a bumbling group whose sole purpose is to be the chopping block of the NFL. Matt Rhule's brand for this team has proven it in no way can compete with the likes of the NFL and is in fact the equivalent of practice squad dummies.

That's the identity this team has established. A traveling practice squad with no purpose of their own to be any more than that. 

Nothing has been shown that this team is otherwise nor will be anything more than such. In order to escape this hellhole of a brand, David Tepper must nip the Rhule turd before it sinks this franchise even further down.

Hopefully it happens sooner than later.

Until then, the Panthers will continue being practice squad fodder for the league to pad their stats and wins against, and that is not a good outlook.

Oh hey, you're alive.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
