I missed that, what was it about?

Person wrote the article that led to the blow up.

Here he is yesterday asking about Christensen playing LT. Granted it's a yes/no question, but to say that the exchange was awkward is an understatement

90 Day Fiance levels of cringe.

His body language is terrible.  His eyes basically say he's getting fired.

My shitty bosses have never ever had the slightest idea that they were the problem.

Its why I prefer owning my own business.  

100% agree. Assholes don’t usually think they are the asshole or the problem.  Out of touch comes to mind.

Thank you and I wish someone would ask him why he won't give Deonte Brown some reps.

Sounds like he is cracking under the pressure now that he is getting a full does of real scrutiny.

I'm proud of the reporters, finally good and hard questions for a guy mailing it in on a mega contract with a crap product. We have needed this kind of coverage of the Panthers for years. Bravo 👏

I think the team is going to fire him and allowed reporters to start having open season and asking hard questions to soften the blowback on the team and Tepper for firing him only after two years. It’s a little too convenient these stories are coming out now at the end of the season when some of these quotes and storylines were probably from earlier in the season.

So you would rather hear a bunch of coach/player media talk that means nothing over actual responses. Its hard to assign your name to it when Rhule has full control of the team. 

Players voice their frustration all the time.  Why haven’t any of our players gone on record to do the same?  Quite the opposite actually - you have guys like Cam, Reddick, and Gilmore talking about how much they like it here and want to be here next year…while defending Rhule.  
 

All I’m saying is I’m not a fan of stories where every single source is anonymous.  Plenty of locker rooms on other teams have spoken up on the record before when there are issues.

That or the training wheels came off fully. It's hard to know. When they said a 5 year plan I had trouble even understanding how it could take that long and how a 3 year standard would stretch out that way.

I hope you are right.

A 5 year plan should result in competing for a super bowl not just getting into the playoffs. Rivera took 5 years to get to the big game. And he’s not a great coach but took over the worst team in the league and infused talent and a plan. Even if I hated that plan long term (offensive side) it worked for that season and you could feel it building. Even the end of 2014 with a losing record and laughably making the playoffs you could see something building. Cam growing, the team growing and getting playoff experience the past two seasons.
 

Rhule however is regressing in year 2, gave up valuable picks in the draft to continue to build the team and traded for the worst starting qb in the league over the past 4 years. And we’re stuck with him next year at 20 million. We have no answer at qb, no line, our defense just deflated in the last half. There’s nothing building here. No young qb growing and learning. And now all this locker room dissent.  Just pure incompetence. I have no idea what the plan is or what they’re trying to do.

I predict Rhule will be fired on Monday after Saints demolish us! Then Cam Jordan is going to send Matt Rhule a bottle of wine and say go back to college bitch!

Cam Jordan will have a bottle of wine in a backpack for Rhule along with pencils, crayons, ruler etc lol! #SendRhuleBacktoSchool

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
