Snow and Rhule wanted Sam and got him.   Not Dan Morgan. 

Cam Newton was a Panther ultimately because Ron wanted him. 

Wtf does Snow have to do with grabbing Sam, lol. 
 

and no, RR is on record wanting to go with marcel dareus. Marcel even said that RR told him they were gonna pick him at 1. MH is the reason we took Cam.

There were some quotes from Rhule before the year where he goes over watching film and Phil Snow saying that Sam looked like Matt Stafford. Believe it was on the Rich Eisen show. Snow definitely liked Sam and I think Rhule trusts Snow more than any other person on the planet.

People think that the NFL forced Rhule to trade a top 40 draft pick for Sam Darnold and he was just unlucky that he was bad.

Yeah they had Teddy under contract and the 8th pick in the draft, it was set up perfectly to get your rookie QB. Drafting a bust and trading for a 3 year proven bust is not the same thing. Not money wise or fan excitement wise

Matt Rhule has gone on record like 100 times that it was Phil Snow that came to him to about Sam Darnold.  And then Rhule went and got him.  That’s not a secret.  

Cam was only a Panther ultimately because of Ron.   That’s how it works when you have a brand new HC building his team.  He is calling those shots.    Same reason we didn’t go after Herbert who Marty also liked. 

Marty has always been a coaches GM. Only time Marty did what he wanted was 2010 when Fox was an open lame duck.

To be fair, the expectation has always been 3. His 7 year contract has nothing to do with that number.

The 7 year part is a running joke from the Jay Z quote a few weeks ago. 

And if Matt is right and the team figures it out in year 3, then awesome.

Bengals

2-14

4-12

10-7 and going to the AFCCG

BUT our coach Jay-Z and our owner thinks it takes a lifetime to build a winning team LOL

This is the worst example ever. LOL. The Bengals is exactly the point you don’t want to make to fire Rhule. They stayed with their boy and look what happened. Again, not sticking up for Rhule, but he said the 7 years it took Jay Z was an example of sticking with the process. Sheesh. This won’t age well if the Panthers make a big leap year 3 like the Bengals do. Yikes

They doubled their win total from year 1 to year 2 (with a tie as well) and lost their rookie franchise QB who showed tons of promise after he was injured in week 10. 

That's progress and the argument to stick with Taylor made sense because the progress was evident.

Our progress is apparently there 1000%, we just can't see it.

10 wins against 4 in a division with Brady and Brees, absolutely different story. Just saying, sometimes riding with a guy for a few years is better than blowing it up every 2… only time will tell. Bengals is a poo example. If you don’t think so your Rhule hatred is clouding your inbred thought process.

You know the answer to your question

 bottom line, Rhule was afraid   As I recall Hurney was in love with Justin Herbert. 

Herbert wasnt there when we picked.  There isnt always a deal available.   The only qb we have passed on so far is Fields and so far hes definitely not looking like a qb that can carry a bad oline.  Trading/signing bad ones I will agree with.  Not taking good ones is unfair.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
