Jon was a guest on my show yesterday— I thought he provided some interesting perspective on the power dynamics within that building. 

Still fascinating that final say on roster decisions are reportedly baked into his contract. You have to take the good with the bad, and there’s been plenty of bad, and some good. 

Here’s the full interview below, if you’re interested.

 

Thats what happens when a coach has leverage, and during the hiring process he had it whether it was warranted or not.

Also people need to realize this doesn't automatically absolve Fitt and/or Morgan of being responsible for some of the bad personnel decisions that have been made.

I seriously doubt Rhule is doing all of the leg work on his own.  For example, last offseason they all get together and decide they need free agent help at the LT position.  I would think Fitt and/or Morgan do most of the research, maybe one of them comes up with the idea of Erving and then Rhule has final say if he wants to veto it.

Tepper is even dumber than I originally imagined if everything stays status quo.

It's a cycle. 

Something happens -> I say something incendiary against Rhule/Tepper -> people on here call me negative, say it's ridiculous, poo on all of it -> it comes true in short order, the whole Huddle minus Shocker accepts it as fact -> Something else happens

I still don’t understand why an owner would give final say on personnel to someone who had zero experience on an NFL level.

Because he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Doing things differently is a way for him to show it.

Of course, that only works if he succeeds (which he isn't).

Does the "final say on the roster" include the final say on draft day and the picks that go with them?  Because if that is the case that is truly insane that Rhule has that authority. 

Per Jonathan, Matt has the final word on all Panthers roster moves.

But we know it's working 100,000% because he said so. What else do we need? Certainly tangible proof isn't necessary to dumb fans.

There is no hope as long as Rhule is here.

 

There has never been a time in franchise history that we had no hope.

Never. Even   Bossa Nova gave hope.

Here is the sad/scary part, I think that we may end up saying the same thing with "Tepper" in that sentence.

    • Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46
    • As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. 
    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
