Put yourself in Matt Fules shoes.
Throw opinions out on him. And no you can’t fire yourself 

Just make yourself the current Panthers HC


Your seat is the Hottest out of any seat in the entire league.
You know you pretty much have to make the playoffs next year while playing what looks to be one of the toughest schedules in the league next year

Just to save your job.


Your OL is in Shambles and you have swung and missed on QBs in your first 2 years.
You Have to both fix an entire OL AND get a QB
Because like Baseball
1 strike
2 strike
3 strikes 
You’re out.
Coming up empty finding a QB 3 years in.  You’re pretty much toast

You have no capital.
You have middle of the road Cap Space.  Limited draft picks.

For the QB spot.  In order to upgrade.  You can trade for a Vet like a Jimmy G or draft one.
Trading for a Vet starter will cost you a top 100 pick. 
Our only pick in that range is 6

Or draft one.

You can trade players to get more capital.
But the only guys that will bring you back a top 100 pick needed for the QB are
Burns, DJ, or a Chinn

Now ask your self this
Are you willing to part ways with 1 of those young guys for a 1 year rental of Jimmy G?

Also remember.
We still need at least 2 solid starter caliber OL this offseason.

So what’s your plan?
Knowing you have to fix BOTH in order to even have a Shot at retaining your job?

You could trade down Draft Charles Cross at OT
Pick Up an additional 2nd and use that on OL.
And still end up losing your job because the situation at QB.

 

 

What are you doing 
Because this is the actual situation we are in

I’m laughing at the huddle meltdown over my supposed cluelessness. Because I know 10x more football than any dipshit, overweight, BBQ eating fug on here.

I say fug it and draft Malik Willis at 6, go with Moton and Christensen at the tackle positions, keep Elflein at center as he seemed like the least horrible option of the motley crew we played there in 2021, start Brown at one of the guard positions, and then dumpster dive for another guard.  Willis hasn't had his head caved in like Darnold yet and would be an injection of excitement which might save my job so I can fug it all up next year as is Panther tradition.

I feel like we have to explain this a lot...

His job isn't to know more about football than fans. That'd be easy.

Rhule's job is to be better at coaching football than guys like Sean Payton, Bruce Arians and Bill Belichick.

What he showed last year is that he's not even as good a football coach as Joe Judge, Mike Zimmer, our old friend Ron Rivera and several other head coaches who wound up getting fired.

So yeah, if bragging about being better than fans is all you've got, welp...

I have no doubt that any one of the Panthers previous Head Coaches could walk in on day one of next season and get more out of our roster than Rhule (even if he were given an entire off season to prepare). 

And yeah, every one of those previous coaches were ultimately fired for their lack of success.  Which begs the question, why is Rhule still the Panthers Head Coach considering he is the worst coach in Panthers history (based on his record)?

Trade for Watson, restructure and backload a couple contracts to bring in at least two starting caliber Olinemen, bring back either Jackson or Gilmore whoever is cheaper, let Reddick walk as he'll want too much money having him and burns makes us too light upfront to stop heavy running teams, extend DJ moore, and trade back a couple of times to get more draft capital to select an off-ball linebacker, a safety, and some Oline depth. Then walk into phill snow's office and make him put Chinn back at linebacker.

Rhule:

Pay Day Money GIF

IDK what the hell Rhule will do. I also don't know if any one can or wants to stop him. Tepper is a ghost, Fitts could just let Rhule burn and hope to step in next, what say does McAdoo have and then there is the fact some free agent or trade guys will not be lured here at this time.

Sleeping on a pile of cash and seeing what college is going to throw even more money next year when Carolina fires me and still owes me a ton of money.

I can’t feel sorry for the man, but he is just out of his element in the NFL. Maybe he can get lucky like the Bengals coach and have a player save his NFL career, but I don’t see that happening…

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
