All is quiet on the OC front

When Tepper boastfully proclaimed that he wouldn't be settling for mediocrity, dumb old me just assumed that he was shooting for the top not the bottom. Four years into the Tepper era experiencing four straight losing seasons and three straight seasons managing only five meager wins, here I sit kinda longing for mediocrity again. The Panthers were always a mediocre franchise, but we DID have occasional success. Any hint of fleeting success seems too far distant to imagine currently. 

Sadly, this is where I am.   I wish I wasn’t

Jumping on this regime is like jumping onto the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

Rhule ain't gonna get anyone who isn't washed out. Maybe he can convince Norv Turner to step up to plate for one last NFL paycheck.

The only OC we're going to get.

Wish Tepper would just reverse his decision and fire Rhule. We wouldn't care if it happened later than it should as long as it happens.

It'll be Jeff Nixon or Scottie Montgomery. The next time the Panthers score 20+ points in a game will be 2023, if not 2024.

I legitimately believe this year's team will go down as the worst in NFL history.

...I arrived at this conclusion last week...all the pieces are in place to go 0-17.... fhule does have the ability to take the 1-31 trophy from Jackson...

A new potential HC name I think we could miss out on this year is Mike McDaniel in SF.  Not just saying it coming off yesterday's win either.  The way that team hasn't needed to fully commit to a RB or QB, or heck really anyone outside Dabo and Kittle has been impressive.  And even when you don't think they'll make noise, they somehow stick in contention, grind it out, and have rather stellar games.  Great defense but an offense that just figures out a way to win.  Using guys like Elijah Mitchell, Kyle J, Jauan Jennings, all at different moments this year, they just seem to always pack a punch without even a good QB at the helm.  From a great coaching tree, 38, awesome adaptive scheming.  That's a guy I'd like to see just brought in. 

Pipe Dreaming for an OC who we could promote to HC: Shane Day, Passing Game Coord & QB coach in LAC.  

Though these are examples of two fine candidates who will stay far away from Rhule.

We'll probably get some chump like Doug Marrone, Anthony Lynn, etc. (If we're even lucky)

Or if no one hires Jim Caldwell, he may be the ticket for Rhule.  He's apparently over the health issues and his could be a top OC candidate if no one hires him as HC.  He's landed some interviews.

Yup.  I mean, I see no QB that could get us to even flirt with .500 (that would come here) and judging by the last attempt to build an OL, I'm not confident they'll make the right calls even if we land on R1.  

And if they trade away DJ or one of our few assets for picks, could very well happen being bottom barrel.  I may be looking too much into it but Scott seemed open to move a player, not just shuffling picks.

CMC somehow making it through a full season would be about the only way we are respectable this coming year.  Otherwise, it's a 1-5 win situation yet again.

The Panthers spin doctors may be able control the info coming from Mint St...

The thing is Rhule went on WFNZ (twice in same day no less) with absolutely no preset conditions or list of questions --- that's the opposite of "spin".

[PanthersGTI]

I'm confused. Wasn't the word that Rhule has to hire great OC to keep his job? Did that change? If that's still the case this could be a good thing.

"you need to bring in a rockstar at OC or be shown the door"

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard...I hope it's not true, but knowing Tepper, it probably is.
