It occurs to me that if Rhule was uncomfortable taking a Guard at 8, he is unlikely to take a Center at 6.

Rhule said something that stuck in my head a bit--he mentioned that BC can play all 5 positions--but he only played 4 this year, to the best of my knowledge. Then he mentioned the word "Center" a bit later. 

Did I miss BC playing Center?

IMO he is going to use that excuse when we draft a left tackle and not a center in the draft.    He will say bc will get a shot there.  

Interesting. There are only 3 college centers worthy of drafting, IMO--and 2 on day 2 or later.  I thought it was pathetic that he said he could not go to a Hornets game (due to the booing).  Then he tried to downplay the fans' concerns by referring to how he was booed at Baylor for going 1-13 but turned it around.

At least he has some idea of where our patience threshold is now-

I want Rhule on the next Greyhound bus out of Charlotte.  That being said, if we fire the whole staff, who would we get to run things as an interim next season?  As has been said before, next year is already a lost season for the most part, and we should be setting ourselves up for 2023.  If Rhule is here next season as a lame duck, he will likely cause more long-term damage to our roster and cap between now and the end of next season or when he's canned, whichever comes first.

We're in deep poo and Tepper's silence is really pissing me off.

I can’t name one. 
 

at least other bad teams have some hope they can hang their hat on.  New coaches coming in.  And basically every bad team minus the Giants finished on the upswing.  

Remember in the past when we had a disappointing season we would say things like "well, at least we aren't the _______________"? Well, we are now THAT team. Absolutely depressing.

This is why you don't base every football decision on analytics. It's why analytics are situationally useful but shouldn't be the deciding factor in pretty much anything.

You're looking for guys that fit a certain mold and if they're outside of that, you discard them. So you pass on a pro bowler at a position, be it guard or tackle, that would have improved your team.

If I were a GM, there's no way I'm going to pass on a good to excellent player because he's an inch too short in height(or his arms are an inch too short in length our case).  If he can play well enough to be a difference maker on the team than I'd pick him.

The Dallas Cowboys were notorious for this back in the Gil Brant/Tex Schram/Tom Landry era. According to the legend, a college coach from Baylor (a Texas University) personally talked to Landry about drafting his star middle linebacker, who was the best LB in the country the last two years of his collegiate career. Landry wouldn't draft the guy despite his excellent on-the-field play. Back then the Cowboys wouldn't draft a linebacker if he wasn't 6 feet tall.

Years later this story was confirmed by Cowboy personnel director Gil Brandt when he talked to the guy they passed over in the draft...HALL OF FAME MLB MIKE SINGLETARY, whose childhood dream was to play for his beloved Cowboys. Singletary was only 5'11, therefore that made him an unacceptable draft choice for America's Team. 🙄

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
