If Rhule loses and is actually given a 4th or 5th year, or god forbid all 7, it will be the first time this has ever happened in the NFL. 
I know coaches that have stayed on max a 4th year after having 3 losing season, but usually they always get fired during the season. 
I really feel like Tepper and Rhule is treating this franchise like a college team. 
In college Rhule would get till the end of his contract to turn the team around. 
This is unprecedented if Rhule actually completes his contract even if he only has losing seasons.

A personnel official with another NFC team said the Panthers’ top four trade chips are Christian McCaffrey, receiver D.J. Moore, defensive end Brian Burns and linebacker Shaq Thompson. And though Fitterer said he’s not looking to trade McCaffrey, he indicated he would listen to offers for everyone, the All-Pro running back included.

The only one I would be good with trading is CMC. The guy can't stay healthy and we can't count on him anymore. I might be ok with trading Burns but only if we keep Reddick.

This is all bad news and all very negative. What a clusterfug. Ohh well. Rome wasn't built in a day but a bowl full of dookie sure is and we are not watching Rome get built here. 

Keeping Anderson while trading Moore is beyond stupid. Either CB over Reddick is stupid. Tepper thinking he can ghost on this mess and won't have his soccer team or anything else publicly ridiculed is naïve and I look forward to the shame that flies his way. 

This team is being run by morons from top to bottom and it's just accepted now. Sad days but I guess the poop has to go somewhere. 

Fug'em all.

Yeah the fact that Rhule is doing the OC search on his own is interesting. It can go either way though, Tepper giving him one last chance with no one else to blame and if it doesn't work out he's gone. Or Tepper just being patient/too stubborn to admit he picked the wrong HC and they're both going to try to force it into success so they can brag about how "the long, hard process" paid off

It's looking like that we're in a wasted year, no matter what we do, unless we trade some assets and modify our core profoundly. Not enough money, not enough day 1 and 2 draft picks. Darnold on the books to the tune of 18 mil...🤦🏽‍♂️

We may have to view this season as a total reset, or we're going to trade away some high profile players (with an "s") to try and have any semblance of a competitive team in 2022. Now, in your gut, what do you think Rhule and company are going to do?

We are behind schedule due to two wasted years in the Rhule era. The reset should've happened when they overpaid for Teddy. That started a bad cycle of overspending for faux competitiveness. Now, we're in a helluva pickle. Hard decisions will have to be made!

Ironically, if Rhule felt secure, we may ultimately be better off, but how can he? Basically, we need time.

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.
