Rhule staying, the silver lining

It seemed unique and an all-in approach on building a stalwart defense, but that all-D draft in 2020 definitely set things back.  Unsure it makes sense to do this 1st year D, 2nd year O approach.  Just build with the best suited talent you find available.  Brown, YGM, & Chinn were awesome to grab and I won't lie, a lot of us liked that haul; buuut Pride & Kenny Robinson being our mid-rounders could've been some offensive talent.  Hell, those rounds produced Tyler Biadasz for the Boys, some good guards and WRs.  

Just seems unbalanced.

Hoping they don't purge too much 2023 assets

5. Controversial maybe, but I believe it will matter to some coaching talent out there the fact Tepper gave a more than a reasonable amount of time (three years) to Rhule. For a fan this sucks but as a potential coach I think this matters.

I think this maybe one of the most important and under appreciated points. 

Reading this post OP was a breath of fresh air on this page recently. I appreciate the  thought you put into it.

Jokes aside, a lot of these things can change with panicked, win now moves. We literally saw that happen this season. 

Remember when Bill O'Brien had complete control and he was on the hot seat? The Texans literally still haven't recovered from that. 

I know.  I'm so depressed.

These points are a sunken cost fallacy. What's done is done but leaving Rhule in place means no development for players currently here or other organizational improvements, and that's the main reason ditching him now appears the right move.

The lack of winning is front and center but Rhule's most egregious failures are the crappy roster moves, lack of strategic aptitude, and overall team regression during his tenure. Any coach that comes in and actually shows progress on the latter 3 retains their job even if the winning slowly comes, and all 3 are achievable in most any circumstance... pretty simple. 

I agree totally.

If ownership doesn't set limits Rhule can dig a much deeper hole for thr Panthers to dig out of after he is finally fired. Future draft picks, next year's abundance of cap and contacts trying us to the wrong guys because they were Rhule guys could kill off some of those silver linings.

At the moment Tepper appears MIA. Not good for us in 2023. Limits need to be set on Rhule before the offseason activities starts. 

Exactly!

Maybe aliens will abduct Rhule’s ass and save us all from this mess because I fear that it’s going to get way worse before he’s finally gone.america guy GIF

The aliens would quickly fire his ass too, complaining that after the abduction he totally screwed up their team on planet Zetox.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
