I’m just going to let that stand on its own. 
 

Well, except one a the DPOY(or will be) and the other just had the same season he had the year before and had to sign with his college coach for 6M. Keep digging. That was great. How drunk are you? 

Pretty sauced.  But still…I think the Panthers are pointing up.  But then again…I like the unpopular crowd

I don’t agree that Rhule isn’t building something here and I don’t agree with jumping ship in 2 years with any coach.

I think you are forgetting Rhule is still the HC and his college boys are all still going to be position coaches. McAdoo may have been good under true blood NFL coaches. We don’t have that. 

Nowhere in my post did I say we would actually be good. I forgot none of what you said. 

All I said was it was the best move Rhule could have made. 

We still hard suck bad.

Ryan Reynolds Reaction GIF

4 straight losing seasons, 3 consecutive seasons with 5 wins, 1 draft pick in the top 100 and limited cap space to address GLARING holes at OT, OGx2, C, FS, MLB, DT, and most importantly QB, a Coach that has been outcoached damn near every game of his career in the NFL, and a RB with the largest contract at his position in NFL history that can't stay healthy...

And we are pointing... Up?

I mean... Yeah. No arguments here. 

Yeah, sorry looking back I liked your OP. The main issue for me is Rhule was supposed to "build a program/culture like the Steelers have had for 30 years" or whatever. Now he's just doing some more gambling hoping to hit on some kinda situation he can take credit for

Historically speaking, if a coach isn't showing progress in year two as a head coach in terms of wins and loses it is best to cut bait and start over. 

If wins increase from year 1 to year 2, but the team still misses the playoffs then by all means, dude deserves a year 3. But if a coach actually loses MORE from year 1 to year 2, they generally suck and it's not going to get better in year 3.

Naw…after year 3 lets talk.  Do I expect to be disappointed…probably 

Have to give him 3 years…it really isn’t that long to turn around a franchise

I have done the deep dive, I can start a thread and show the evidence if need be. 

Since the year 2000, if a coach misses the playoffs in the first two years and does not improve their record from year one to year two, they do not become a successful coach. 

Two years is plenty of time to assess if a coach has what it takes to make it in the league as a HC.

Seems like a short evaluation…which I am sure you are used to.  🤔

I am giving Rhule another year.  Maybe 2 if things improve on offense.  Otherwise we are starting from scratch and there is no way of knowing if the next guy is any better

Sounds interesting to me.  I'd like to see that.

I've always believed in giving a coach 3 years, but there are some pretty bad recent examples that come to mind.  Coaches that did poorly and were not given 3 seasons, where I thought their termination was justified.

You are one patient dude. 

Considering the average NFL career is 3 years, you are potentially wasting numerous players entire careers by holding onto a coach after 2 consecutive years of losing.

I have a week off next week (Taking a week off before I start my new job), I'll start throwing the thread together.

Sure…but Matt Rhule is a good coach.  I believe it

I will go down with that.  I can’t stand all the hate for him, he is building something here

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.

      T-Mac or Nalo

      I dont care as long as he plucks the ball out of the air like he did in college, maybe it will rub off on XL and make him up his game too.
