He also adds a ton of info daily and is the reason I have picked up on a number of team related news facts. I don't agree with him on everything all the time much like anyone else since we are all different individuals but he is always respectful even when disrespected on here and seems to be an okay guy. It's a message board and doesn't matter if he responds to Evey single post and reply on this board. Free country and he is just carrying on conversation. Who cares, life has too much other stress than to feel it on an internet message board. I used to be this way too and get all pissed at posters but in the end it took me to realize that's it's a damn internet message board and we are all different with different opinions on everything from politics to favorite color of underwear but at least we all support the same team do we have that in common.

That dude just sees Fhules process 1000%, we all just don’t see it yet.

Cheerleaders should be seen and not heard.

I can respect getting tired of the negativity given the marathon we find selves in currently but injecting fantasy positivity is a hard sell. Great posts.

Alexander explained in another tweet that it's not Rhule pushing guys out so much as it is not stopping guys who want to leave.

Basically, if they want to look elsewhere, Rhule isn't blocking them from interviewing. For lateral moves especially, he could.

Expect he blocked the TE coach, which idk why it isn’t like we even use that position or care about it anyway.

Didn't Rhule once say he will never fire anyone? I feel like not blocking specific people from interviewing else where just allows the door to swing open enough to where he can replace them without being the bad guy.

I don't blame anyone for leaving but I sure do wonder what is wrong with the people coming or staying here willingly. Well I guess I didn't have to wonder but just look at their careers lol. 

Looking at the guys who've come aboard...

James Campen is a good coach who's recently had a track record of getting hired in places where the coach got fired a year later. Truth be told, that trend could continue this year, but even if it does I hope we keep him.

Steve Wilks was coaching at the college level largely off the NFL radar save for one recent interview. Coaching here brings him back home to Charlotte, is good for his career and good for us as well.

Ben McAdoo wasn't exactly in high demand himself but had at least returned to the NFL in a minor role as a consultant on the cowboys staff with former Packers colleague Mike McCarthy. Not sure I get choosing him over Jay Gruden so much, but he'll get a chance to reform his image here.

Chris Tabor is probably the guy who would have been in the most demand by other teams. His hiring is a good move, and other than Campen the one I like the most.

On the flipside, Paul Pasqualoni is probably the one I understand the least. Brentson Buckner was available, has a solid resumé and a Panthers connection. And he'll, if you wanted somebody in this age group why not go for Rod Marinelli?

So overall it's a mixed bag. Some are guys with good reputations but also guys who weren't necessarily on a lot of other teams' radars.

We'll see what happens...

He did, but he's already broken that particular practice (I don't really think anybody expected that to last at this level anyway).

The departures don't strike me as guys he was planning to fire since he would have just done that when he fired the other three.

Throw in that there was definitely no rationale to fire Jason Simmons.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.

      Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
