When Ron Rivera talked about trying to help players get the storybook ending they deserved, we all mocked him for it.

And correctly so.

I don't give a flying sh-t about that sort of thing. It's a football team, not a soap opera. You make football decisions for football reasons only or you're doing it wrong.

As to next season, all indications right now are that Matt Rhule is still going to be in charge. Does playing out his final season under this clown show really sound like "exiting with the dignity his status deserves" to you?

Bottom Line: What I expect next season is both an awful lot of losing, and a lot of awful losing. I don't know what quarterback is going to be doing it. At the moment, I don't honestly care because it's going to be a colossal sh-t show regardless.

NFL history is full of great players that didn't have happy endings. Very very few guys go out on top or get victory laps. That's just reality. Newton likely won't be an exception.

To tell the truth, if your honest desire is that Newton gets to end his career with some kind of fanfare, what you really should be hoping for is that he sign somewhere else...

...cuz that ain't happnin' in the midst of this circus.

You put a lot of extras on a basic concept. 

Under any competent franchise, letting him exit properly, wouldn't be such a cluster. The NFL absolutely sells nostalgia, fantasy, history merchandise and fanfare. You stay trying to pigeonhole and compartmentalize what the business of "football", is. What are you talking about? You speak as though I want a fuging disney movie made. Instead of going at your thesis point by point, I'll say this...you are right regarding Rhule being here next season. He has proven to have issue with Cam for whatever reason.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
