True. 

But it’s also a true an incompetent person can have good people around him.  And the fact an incompetent man leads the group defines what ultimately happens in the end. 

I still think Rhule is the problem.  And I have been hard on Fox and Ron at times.   Didn’t think they were great coaches. Incompetent was never a place I went with them.   Even in the dark times they had.  

and maybe Rhule will turn into something one day.  It’s clear he has a long way to go and so don’t expect there to be enough years for him to learn on the job in NFL HC attempt #1. 

Agree 💯I’m being optimistic but the incompetence was real. I’m hoping it’s a sign of growing pains for an inexperienced college coach that needs more time. However, Tepper and us fans have to see significant change on the field to regain any confidence.

and it’s not that he is incompetent.  It’s he is a hands on and one wants to control everything incompetent type.    So it doesn’t appear to be in his coaching DNA not to be able to not put his thumbprint on everything.   

he probably could work if he was just an actual figurehead that hired good people and just let them do their thing.

Yup…hope these recent hires signal an adjustment in his approach. It will have to be for things to change. 

Both coordinators have HC experience (Tabor was interim for one game) and I hope Rhule will be smart enough to draw from that.

Yeah I seen Ellis the other week post something on Twitter from one of the training camp practices he went to this past year. He had a clip where Rhule was micromanaging everything on offense, it was bad. He has to quit that poo.

Maybe that was as much an indicator of Brady’s liabilities as Rhule’s micromanagement. If so, it may explain why he finally cut ties. No confidence in the offensive development. Not excusing Rhule - just connecting dots.

DaCHARLOTTE — The Panthers have found their new special teams coordinator, adding an experienced assistant whose units have performed well in recent years.

Carolina Panthers:

The team has agreed to terms with former Bears special teams coach Chris Tabor, who brings 14 years of NFL experience to the job.

Tabor spent the last four seasons with the Bears, after seven years as the Browns' special teams coach. He was previously an assistant special teams coach with the Bears.

Under his watch, the Bears have ranked in the top 10 of longtime NFL writer Rick Gosselin's special teams rankings each of the last two years.

The Panthers found some stability last year with kicker Zane Gonzalez (who hit 17 straight field goals prior to his pre-game injury in Buffalo), but he was one of four kickers they used from the start of the preseason. They also cycled through three punters last year. The Panthers ranked 28th in Gosselin's special teams rankings last year

That's where my thinking is as well.  I see two important assistant coaches being added with a lot of NFL experience.  It's something which was sorely lacking the last two seasons in Carolina.  If this is a sign that Rhule realizes he needs more talented guys around him, that's great.

Now I'll wait to see who the OL coach is and what the team does on draft day.  Another experienced hire and the #6 draft pick on a LT will go a long way toward getting me enthusiastic for next year.

That depends on whether such a lack of confidence was justified or whether it was just Rhule's overbearing micromanagement.

I'd have to look it up, but I think Brady actually had just a slight edge in NFL experience over Rhule (though not by much).

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
