"It's working, you just can't see it"

With each passing week and presser from Rhule, it becomes clearer and clearer that he has never faced this kind of expectations before. All of his college jobs have been programs that were in the cellar or in turmoil and expectations weren't that great. In the NFL, it's magnified 1000x and Rhule is in unfamiliar territory. He is grasping at anything just to say something. I think Rhule just sucks at game planning and is not an X/O's guy. The only "culture" and "process" he is building is a losing one.

You can be a "rah rah" guy in college and win with no QB, especially in the weaker conferences.

Rah Rah don't work in the pro's, and you can't win without a good to great QB here.

He's in over his head, and knows it.

But, like he tells the guys all the time, Jay-Z took seven years to become an overnight sensation.

What is working that we cannot see? Someone needs to ask him that point blank.

He told us, man!  We lost our ST ace and 4th WR with no notice!  And our #2 corner (although I still have no idea who he was referring to there?  Bouye?)!  And our guys still showed up and held them to under 60 points, and we drove right down the field two different times and kicked some legit FGs, bro.  Like he said, the defense could've came out and said, "the offense is terrible today," and let the Bucs score two more TDs.  But they didn't!  They only let them score 32 points.  Not 46.

It's under the surface, man.  The process.  It's too bad you don't see it.

I'll tell you what's working:

  • poor QB play
  • poor OL play
  • overuse of your star player CMC to the point of injury
  • little to no development of the rookies
  • regression of young, promising players like Jeremy Chinn & Derrick Brown
  • poor game planning
  • poor in-game adjustments
  • poor in-season adjustments
  • questionable player evaluations (Darnold, Erving, Elflein)

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
