Everything is basically Rhule not knowing WTF he is doing. As fans, even those that doubted Rhule when he was hired, we tried to be positive about this rebuild. That included ignoring what has always been there, the fact that these coaches don't have a clue how to succeed in this league and at this level. 

We ignored all the warning signs and all the obvious flaws but it has always been there. Look at what Teddy was trying to say and we turned on him in a split second. The reality is that the players and their actions have told the story. It just took a while for us to listen.

I don't think we ignored it but we didn't have much choice but to look for the best in a bad situation. From the release of Cam and giving Teddy way too much money to the Darnald signing which was a head scracher as well. Not to mention the complete fact that Rhule has ignored the offensive line for two years. Now we just wait to see how bad it gets.

I didn’t watch this game but seeing comments mentioning brown on the sidelines during obvious run downs. Not the first time he’s been benched recently. Is it a case of awful coaching? Or is he another 1st round bust? 

Is he playing well? Hell no. But who on this team is?  

Former 1st round big man with at least 2 more years on a rookie contract? Personally, I’d like to see what he can do with NFL coaches doing the coaching.

Rhule is the bust. Brown showed significant promise last year. Everyone has regressed this year. There are so many glaring signs that our coaching is just flat out not NFL caliber. If Brown doesn't bounce back next year under a new staff then I'll be concerned about him. If there's not a new staff next year, then we're fuged anyway so who cares?

The fact that Chinn, Brown, and other defensive players have regressed this year speaks more to the coaching than their ability. 
 

I think Brown was over drafted but I’m not ready to label him a bust yet. The success Reddick and Burns have had on the edge is not fully possible without adequate DT play beside them.

No. He has had a terrible, Baylor assistant dline coach, coaching him at the NFL level... Still a slightly above average DT. Need to pair him with another guy in a year or two. 

You don’t draft a DT at #9 hoping he’s a slightly above average player. He’s a bust at this point.. If you disagree, look at other stud players drafted around his pick.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
