wonder if this is something Olsen saw a'coming, too?

"The TE is another long term Rivera veteran who is electing not to play for Matt Rhule"

Wouldn’t surprise me.  He’s a smart guy.  He also wasn’t very good anymore, he was terrible with the Seahawks before he retired.  But I’ll always appreciate Third Leg, he was so clutch and I can’t remember him ever dropping a pass except maybe once.  That Seahawks come from behind win in 2015 had me over the moon.  Good times.

Luke fled too. I think these were not accidental. 

At first I didn't agree, but Luke especially was a guy that took on a different role and then quit what seemed like a great opportunity for him, and as time goes on, I'm more on your and others side that he got a peak at the emperor before he unveiled his new clothes...

Why does it seem like everyone from all former players to regular everyday tubby message board guys seem to realize what's wrong with this crap team except Rhule and his boys? How is this even possible? Why does this dude even have a job this evening and how in the absolute hell will he still have a job after black Monday which we all know Tepper is going to keep this turd around for at least another year maybe two. Absolutely blows my mind. Somebody please show Rhule the door ASAP!

We'll know for certain if Luke comes back fast in whatever role he'd like if/when we get a new HC.

Luke said he left to hunt and fish… this guy lived and breathed football for years.  Maybe the reasoning is true, but I definitely think once the coaching staff showed their ass to him he left in a tizzy.  He would be such a great coach.  His knowledge for the game is on the level of Peyton Manning

The fact we have so many former players seeing the BS shows me I am not crazy in thinking the Panthers are a clown show. 

It’s funny how people keep bringing up the current players and how they praise Rhule and there are multiple former players who aren’t so kind. There aren’t many players on a NFL roster who will publicly criticize their coach.

A business man isn't going to bail after year two of a seven year investment. Rhule is here for five.

A business man worth 15 billion isn’t going to keep an employee around who he knows is costing him money. Rhule probably gets year three, if he continues on his current trajectory he definitely doesn’t get a fourth, much less five.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
