Word was they were trying to keep him.

He may have been on an expired contract though. Hard to say.

The Texans HC he was working under got canned.  So who knows if the new guy would have kept him or not.

I think the comfort level with OC McAdoo (who he worked with for many years at Green Bay) was a big part of Campen's move to Carolina.

the mcadoo connection might have been the trick. job taken despite having to work for a guy that couldn't tell his ass from a doorknob.

This is great news for Brady Christensen and Deonte Brown.   The team is finally going to see what these two can become.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the team got better play from Cameron Erving and Pat Elflein (though that's not saying much).  Maybe these two can become competent backups or spot starters now ?

ok....now grab these guys:

Terron Armstead - pay him whatever

Ryan Jensen (option a) or Ben Jones (option b) - would be totally happy with either

Norwell - just bring him home.

do this and then we can talk about getting a QB in the first round. wouldn't need to worry about not having picks in the next couple rounds.

Rhule might have been NFL naive when he took over the Panthers but I don't think he's completely stupid.   If he has any self-awareness at all, Rhule must have known he needed more experienced guys to help him lead the team next season.  

I also wouldn't be surprised if his boss Tepper nudged him in that direction as well.  

I believe all your points may have played a factor in Rhule's "awakening".  McAdoo's personal contacts/established relationships within the league likely didn't hurt either.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
