Hey guys. I do an afternoon show down here at Fox Sports Upstate. I spent some time today diagnosing some of the problems with the Panthers, thought I would share my perspective with you. 

Hoping to have Joe Person on tomorrow to dive into his latest article, and some thoughts on Carolina’s future. 

Thanks for letting me share. Hope everybody’s having a good new year!

I think it was premature. I don’t think the explanation given was completely satisfactory, but that’s just me. Here’s the thing: Sam was on the shelf, but was always going coming back and play IMO. I think Brady could’ve done some good things to help Sam develop down the stretch. I don’t think making that move made them better in the short term, and I’m not sure how they handled it makes them better long-term. Brady was not without fault, but I wasn’t a big fan of doing it this early. Again, that’s just me.

My problem with this thinking is.. Just like Rhule I think hiring a pass game coordinator with no play calling and little to no NFL experience was a mistake.. And the only thing I agree with Rhule about is it seem Brady inexperience was fallen into a pattern.. Both seem to fail and acknowledge how bad this Oline was.. Especially pass blocking and how it was affecting the whole team.. And I think it was Chris Simms that said we all got fooled thinking Brady was this young genius because of LSU passing offense.. But Reality was NFL DC had figured him out and he wasn't showing any different pitches.. So I agree the explanation was none existent.. But we could already see division when it came to not running the ball.. Being a Rhule discussion point every press conference.. Right??

Do you think like Ron had to do.. If Tepper is going to keep Rhule another year he will force him to hire a former HC on his staff?? 

That is something I don't understand about these new coaches.. They fail and fight against having someone on their staff more experienced then them.. And go thru seasons of bad time management and situational play calling and practice habits..

They rather learn the hard way instead of relinquishing some power to somebody on their staff..

      Our Next QB: The Qualifiers

      I mean, sure, he has made a mess of the football situation with his hires.   I'm just saying, he is often overused to take the blame of others who ALSO are bad at their jobs.    We see that often.  Not just with Tepper.  I mean, how many people did we scapegoat and try to give all the blame to before we admitted Matt Rhule was bad at his job.  Same for Fitterer.  Tepper's other pro team has gone to the postseason in back to back years now.  Think they set a MLS record this year too.  And they have barely existed.   Tepper is not crafting the roster and shaping the team.  Others do that for him.   The QB room is the way it is because of the big picture hires of David Tepper.  But on a practical football level discussion about why we suck at the QB spot and going forward, we got to talk about Dan Morgan.  He is the dude doing the bad job there.  I'm not trying to deflect any blame from Tepper.  I just can't stand how Dan Morgan gets the pass he gets from some and the narrative......Tepper is calling the QB room, and this weird Morgan mantra that he somehow is silently against everything he part of building (not saying that is you but it exists here)  I think with a good staff and QB,  no one would care about David Tepper.  I think Tepper has now limited his ability to get the good staff in the front office and sidelines.   In hindsight, the Matt Rhule hire.....might go down as the biggest error in Panther history.  Because it's all a snowball from that bad hire.
