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.

He's managed to build a team that could be a contender in the Sun Belt Conference, maybe the MAC, probably not the ACC.

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.
