Players Not Speaking Out Against Rhule

Yeah, I definitely recognize the obvious about players wanting to stay professional, needing to get paid etc. 

But in the worst run franchises you'll usually get at least a peep about the coaching, or even see it funneling down to the players criticizing each other.  I didn't get much of that.

I definitely see Rhule has a lot of work to do to even be decent.  I'm just a bit surprised to see these guys behaving so calmly. Especially the vets that have dealt with this for 2 years.

I mean, Person just wrote a pretty damning article with 20 sources inside Carolina.   

Cam today basically said from top to bottom they ain’t got the right people in the building right now. 

But players know Rhule has a big contract so there is only so much they can say.   They got to stay employed on a profession that has a tiny window.

Fwiw I am sure some of these guys like him. After all we have a bunch of his college players that wouldn't have anywhere else to play if not for him.  Plus it sounds like he genuinely cares about at least some of his players, if not all of em.

Rhule doesn't need to be a bad guy to be a bad coach. It's kinda like with Rivera...

Players generally don’t do this no matter how bad it is…where does this idea come from that they do? It means absolutely nothing. Like Jackson’s comments.

It does not facilitate change. They’re professionals. It would only hurt them in their professional career.

It is no different from your own employment. When is the last time you went ranting around your office about how awful your boss was, even if it was true?

And did so in a fashion other offices/companies/opportunities were also able to take note of your rant and further hurt your future (analogy for other NFL teams)?

I swear some people have no clue how the dynamics in the NFL, coachspeak etc. works…I wonder how the hell are you people able to navigate society?

Exactly. Being liked and/or respected, if Rhule is, does not mean a leader is good at job. It also doesn't mean the players/employees are at their best either. The tape and record seemingly speak for themselves in this case, and it appears we'll have no choice but to roll on headlong into year 3.

I respect this answer, I've been a fan of the league (as we all have) for quite some time. 

A lot of people in the thread are speaking it as if it's absolutely unheard of for players to voice they're upset with coaching or play calling.  I don't mean to give off the impression that the players normally scream 'off with his head ' at the presser, but normally you'll hear a few sly comments that allude to the players disdain.

Also...this isn't a defense of Rhule at all (which I can tell some are trying to turn it into), just an observation about an abnormally quiet locker room. Did we have a single player only team meeting, heated disagreement, etc. as we've had in the past during down years? (granted I may have missed it, I was a bit more disengaged than usual years lol)

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
