Yeah it did seem strange at first, then as Rhule's second season progressed, Teddy's parting comments started to resonate/ring true. 

TB was a fully developed NFL QB by the time he arrived in Charlotte and (unbeknownst to fans) likely overcame many of the shortcomings of this coaching staff.  Sam Darnold simply isn't capable of doing that.  Cam arrived at the 11th hour and there is only so much any QB could do after the Panthers offensive weaknesses were fully exposed to our opponents. 

Definitely what it seems like at this point.  It’s so disheartening that Teddy, the boogeyman of last season, was actually the voice of reason and the reason we were in some games from the jump.  Sam Darnold blows and he’s probably who we’re stuck with after taking the $18M 5th year option.  Ugh…

Letting a lame duck HC draft a top 10 QB is pointless.   New HC should be able to pick his own QB if tasked with building up a team.   

If Rhule stays, GM should control the pick and it should be on the line. 

If Albert Breer is right, then not only will Rhule stick around but his power won't be diminished in the slightest.

He can sign, trade for and trade away anybody or anything he wants.

Bill O’Brien but with no playoff appearances or accomplishments.  Great!

We might have an even dumber owner than Cal McNair.

The thing that gets me is that he apparently is “embarrassed” and “unhappy” with our performances under Rhule per the article earlier, but does nothing.  Why?  Is he simply seething too much?  I have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes but I am at a historic low point.  At least in 2010 we knew Fox would be gone

He has brass balls though. Remember? 

Yeah, neither does he or anyone else. I guess Matt Rhule has those on his desk now.

Tepper may not view Rhule as a lame duck. He might still have faith in the 5 year plan.

Besides, letting Rhule draft a QB and then firing him is the most Panthers thing to do.

Pride, ego, stubbornness, stupidity, greed. Take your pick.

I think it's a combination of hubris and not wanting to pay Rhule to sit at home, which would lean towards greed.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
