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) 

Our schedule in 2022 looks to be more difficult than what we faced in 2021. We will face the NFC West and AFC North next season. Two divisions that are strong top to bottom. This means we'll play both Super Bowl participants plus a third team from Championship Weekend. There's still the off-season but those teams tend to be well run.

Bingo. I will honestly be surprised if Rhule doesn't truly fug us over this offseason trading future assets in a desperately reckless attempt to win now.

Yup so much for his "program building". Any loser can gamble on random free agents and throw them under the bus when they don't work out.

Fitterer and Morgan came aboard AFTER Rhule was hired. This falls more on Tepper for keeping Hurney around a year longer than he should although I understand the rationale. I’m of the thinking that Rhule having the final say does not mean he has total autonomy over the roster with no collaboration. As P-Claw stated earlier, the HC’s control over the roster is not unique to the Panthers, so there’s really no need for panic IMO.
 

 

They took the job as is like you stated 'after Rhule was hired' with complete control. They took it knowing how this was going to be ran, job interviewing runs both ways. That is on them, all except Morgan so far due to when he was hired, and they have done a very poor job to date. It all falls on Tepper sure but that doesn't take away from how bad the rest have done. 

It's not panic for me, it's complete disgust.

Im confused as well, why the surprise??

Reactions seem par for the course, don't see anyone like,. "ohhh realllly?!?". The interesting note is the OP confirmation w/ the added news of the contract language.  It's always been his show.

I think everyone already knew that. I think some folks were just holding out hope that after two seasons of colossal failure that maybe that dynamic had been shifted somewhat. I mean, I'm not surprised that it hasn't but there was definitely some cause for hope that maybe it had.

Tepper really is still all in on Matt Rhule. This would be like Tepper putting all of his hedgefund into a tanking penny stock with awful financials and no clear pathway towards financial success. How long do you think his investors would've stuck with him in that scenario? Well, we're the "investors" in this scenario and Tepper has no track record of success to lean on in the football world. In the football word, he's basically a Redditor in his mom's basement who still has his entire life savings tied up in GameStop stock. 😂

That's  quite the assumption there. 

 

Not really. There's a reason we don't hear about it more, and that's because teams aren't typically dumb enough to do it with unproven quantities.

Key word there being typically.

I thought most huddlers knew this since most here are in the hardcore status. The doomed and o noes ones, like this was the way for tepper to get his prized pick.

      BREAKiNG NEWS: Panthers interested in trading for Trey Hendrickson

      By Basbear · Posted

      I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....

      Did Cam Really Say This??

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.

      That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
