Rapoport says Rhule will be retained “barring some unforeseen circumstance”

Actually yes. It wouldn't matter if we had Tom Brady in his prime. Matt Rhule has no freaking idea what he is doing as an NFL head coach. Until he's gone, other than for fantasy football, I won't give 2 flying fugs about what happens to the Panthers organization. They deserve all of it for keeping him. Even Marty Hurney was easier to tolerate than this poo show.

The only remote chance you might have at Aaron Rodgers would be to replace Rhule with Nathaniel Hackett, and even then I wouldn't bet on it.

If anything, I'd say keeping Rhule ups the chance that we draft a quarterback with our top pick. Guys like Rodgers, Watson and Wilson aren't going to play for a lame duck who's been a disaster so far.

Hell, what free agent worth their salt at any position is gonna want to sign here?

And now, "Deep Thoughts" from MHS:

This strongly suggests that we are going to have a NEW QB next season.

This strongly suggests that we are going to have a NEW VETERAN QB next season (due to the urgency / finality of the situation

This strongly suggests that we will have to trade for the QB (because no legit veteran on the market would come here (I think Watson and Wilson have already stated that they do not want Carolina to be their next destination.  Garrappolo trade?  Maybe. Trubiski signing as a free agent?  Perhaps)

This strongly suggests that the focus of the offseason will be on offense, meaning that we may not re-sign some defensive free agents.

This strongly suggests that we will trade back in the draft to acquire 2 OL because the OL was exposed (G, C, and RT) and one upgrade will not get the job done. 

This could also strongly suggest that Rappaport has no idea and is speculating based on the tea leaves he is reading.  I personally think Rhule is gone if he loses the last 2 games.

    • Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46
    • As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. 
    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
