Obviously there is no one on this staff who has a clue about running an NFL offense.  I do not see Rhule being able to attract a competent  OC to his staff or that he even would even know what one looks like.  Time to move on Tepper.

I read the article.  To be honest, I didn’t post it as it just doesn’t matter anymore 

Tepper decides.  
 

The only thing I decide is what I do after 26 years of caring about and investing in a  a pro team 

Tepper, in all probability, will keep this fool another year and there is nothing season ticket holders like me can do other than this turn in our tickets and walk away or pray we can sell individually and recoup.  Unfortunately there is only two games that might sell in 2022 and they will sell below value. 

I did sign the change.org petition to fire Rhule yesterday 

after the last game, I will email my rep and ask he get it to Tepper. It’s probably below his pay grades

Everyone was all ready to throw Joe Brady in front of a speeding bus but if you were paying attention you should have already known how this would play out. This putrid offense has been running exactly the way Rhule has wanted it to.

This is still largely Joe Brady's offense...anyone expecting our offense to have been completely revamped in a span of a week or two late in the season just because our OC got fired, had irrationally unrealistic expectations.  It takes at least an entire offseason to install a new playbook/offense.  Nixon only gets to decide which plays to run from the same flawed playbook and so far admittedly has done a poor job of it.

Though Rhule fired former offensive coordinator Joe Brady weeks ago, the Panthers are still running his offense and shouldn’t be.

This is what people don't seem to understand.  Anyone witnessing our terrible offense over the last few weeks and thinking that somehow vindicates Joe Brady, is being incredibly naive.

“The Panthers should be set on the outside.” How sad is it that Rhule fought tooth and nail to keep BC out of the LT spot, only for him to have better success than anyone there all season. I’m convinced that the only one buying into the Rhule process is Rhule himself. 
 

I agree with heavy play action, Darnold is a semi mobile QB and we have wide receivers that can succeed downfield. Seems like a no brainer right??

Yup, although earlier in the season they were trying play action every down but not actually ever running the ball, which is not how you succeed in keeping the defense guessing. Ellis could probably call a better game than Rhules staff

It's the incompetent in game play calling that is like coaching for dummies level stuff, for all that have been involved. Problem is Rhule doesn't have any experience to share with these guys so they're just learning on the job just like him. Obviously starting with Brady's playbook of Sean Paytons preseason sheets doesn't help either especially playing in the same division

Coming away from an article feeling like I've been given something to think about always makes me feel good about the writer.

Williams is very good at his job.

Sh¡t! Sounds like he knows more about running an offense than Nixon and Brady. That should be a deafening wake-up call for Tepper (who seems to want to keep hitting the damned snooze button).

The biggest lesson to learn from the Brady hiring and firing is that experience matters.

I know NFL teams are crazy to find the next Sean McVay but they'd be smarter to try and find the next Frank Reich.

That search for the next McVay lead Cinci to Zac Taylor and Green Bay to Matt LeFleur. Those both seemed to have worked out okay.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
