Relax guys.  In 365 days we will have a whole new coaching staff and #1 overall pick.  

No we won’t. Rhule will totally trade away our 1st and 2nd round picks for next year’s draft. Our only hope is him going to Auburn.

If this is the level of confidence and control Tepper threw at him, it makes me wonder if he’s even more safe than led on and Dave is sold on this longer term plan.

We could go 7-10 next year and he could stay pat. Holy moly

I'd like to hope Tepper isn't that dumb.

I can't say I'm confident of that fact 😕

He’s got blinders and built up confidence in his first coaching hire. Even the smartest among us can be fooled. He’s not infallible but I’d like to hope he’s shortening his leash.

I don’t see this situation being sustainable on its current trajectory for an entire season. We lost what like 7 in a row? We just completely wrecked. Depends on how much crap he’s willing to sift in. What he likely perceived as patience has become stubbornness to act in the fan’s view.

I’d like to think Tepper only keeps Rhule to tank.  Rhule gave away bunch of 2022 draft picks, signed duds to big 2 year deals.  We are screwed for 2022 no matter Rhule or not.  

Yep. Just looking at the OL, WR and DL talent likely to be sitting in R2-3 this year makes me a sad panda.

Gave up pick 37, $18.9 mil, a 4th and 6th for Darnold. Good god. 

We could’ve just sucked with Kyle Allen this whole time. Hell, may have been better lol. 

We better get a promising young coach and QB next year after having to sit through this crap.

Of course he has final say.  Its his team.  How is this news?

The GM's job is to get the players the coach thinks he needs to win.  The GMs job is also to help guide him to the right players.  If Rhule wants somebody that everyone knows will suck, the GM needs to talk him out of it.  I think Fitterer has done that reasonably well (other than Darnold - which turned out to be a bit of a head scratcher).

Its not like they were reaching on guys in the draft.  Horn will be fine.  Most people were mocking Marshall and Nixon in the first and second rounds.  Tremble, Christensen, and Brown were all being mocked in the 3rd or 4th round. We filled needs everywhere.  While every pick will not be an all-pro, I believe we got some solid talent and contributors throughout the draft.

Once the coach has his guys and he fails to win, he will get fired.  I think Rhule needs to win at least 9 games next year to keep his job.  (believe it or not, Darnold went 7-6 with the jets in 2019, so it may be possible) 

We just need to draft well again this year, ride with Darnold one more time, and grab our franchise QB next year.

I had the weirdest dream last night.  I never dream about the Panthers but this was super real.  We fired Rhule and signed Troy Aikman… no clue.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
