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.

Real question is if Pickett can sign his contract with his tiny baby hands?

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

[Carl Spackler]

This hand-size argument is tiresome and pointless. It's been proven you can have tiny hands and do anything -- even get elected president.

Tepper needs to modify Rhules contract. 

There is no "M" in void...

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

Been saying this for weeks and weeks to the “Keep Rhule/Strip His Power/Year In A Vacuum 2022” true believers but their faith in their cult was unshakeable.

Or he's so sidetracked by Soccer he doesn't even give a poo. He'll wait til the stadium is empty

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.

[CRA]

remember in his last presser, when he tried to pretend like he wasn't the guy purely responsible for Sam Darnold lol.

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.
