Adam Schaffer now singles out Matt Rhule as the only failing coach who hasn’t been fired, yet.

Reality:  David Tepper isn't ready to admit he was duped by a used car salesman.

Why I'd look at a guy like Colbert.

There's no shortage of people who'd be willing to tell Tepper he's a dumbsh-t. The hard part is finding someone he might actually listen to.

<cough>Greg Olsen 2011<cough>

There were others, but that one outweighs any of the "splash" moves we've made this past season alone. Wayyyyy outweighs. 

Not saying Marty was a genius at all, but let's not get all big and bold about the 2021 season's acquisitions. Gilmore looks like a good DB, but that was two interceptions on a team that just was getting killed every weekend since he joined.

 

 

Gilmore is relatively speaking a better player at his position, but the trade was basically a few months rental if he doesn't agree to stay.  If he does, it may become the best trade in our history.  If he doesn't, you're right that Olsen overall was a better trade. A big part of that was the longevity and quality play Olsen brought to the TE position imo.

Gilmore better than Olsen?

Really?

Dang, man.

I agree Olsen was excellent.  However, at the time we made each respective trade, Gilmore was by far the bigger signing.

Olsen wasn't anything special in Chicago.  Yes, he was good.  More importantly, he was young with potential to be better.

Gilmore on the other hand has a history of excellence before he ever set foot in BoA.

Olsen will go in the ring and rightfully so.  But Gilmore was the bigger signing.

I don’t know if we are terrible next year, and if Rhule is the coach I think we will be, it could be really funny because it is so absurd. 

It sure is looking that way. This season reeks of 2010 all over at best. Laughing at the failures is the best option I can see.

I think Tepps hands are tied.  We only have a few picks, the cap isn’t in great shape and the offense needs a total overhaul.  Not many head coach candidates that want to inherit that in year one. 

I think this is not an unusual situation actually for a coach to inherit.  Usually teams hiring are hurting in many of those ways.  We also do have the 6th overall pick and should have our choice of many options to boost the O.

There are so many things to change in this organisation unfortunately. I will still root for them though. Rhule has to go though. NanuqoftheNorth, you are correct.

Olsen was a potential foundation player being 26 at the time of the trade. Gilmore was a bandaid at 31. I mean, if we're going off of total careers, then Reggie White is the biggest signing in Panthers history but that's a ridiculous argument to make.

Early this morning at 7 AM as I was on the elevator going to take my dog out, and I got a twitter notification on my phone from the official Panthers account. It showed Rhule's fat face and the preview I could read said "The Carolina Panthers have decided to part ways with head coach..."

I clicked to open it, with so much excitement. Black Tuesday I guess, but it felt like Christmas. But as the elevator went down, I lost signal. Once I got outside I furiously refreshed twitter, but the tweet had disappeared! I had just imagined it in my half asleep state, and I think it was probably this tweet that I misread:

fug Rhule. That is all.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
