It's probably worth asking the question in a broader context.

Among the revelations that have come out in recent months about the Panthers locker room was a note that this team’s roster is considered by many to be the least “merit based” in the NFL, including on it players who likely wouldn’t make any other roster in the league but are here because of Matt Rhule.

 

In a similar vein, prior to this year, the majority of Matt Rhule’s coaching staff was made up of either guys who’d followed him from place to place or guys with whom he had some prior familiarity directly or through connections.

 

This offseason though, Rhule was forced to chose to hire assistant coaches with actual NFL experience.

 

So what happens when the guys who just joined up start giving honest opinions about those non-merit based roster spots?

 

Right, and my comment was more hyperbolic than anything. It's perfectly clear that Rhule has 'his guys' and favors them even to the detriment of the team. I'm sure every coach has their favorites but most seem to at least make sure they can play at an NFL level.

Well to be fair, Rhule can't coach at the NFL level sooo... 😕

TB5 was 18th, fwiw.  As much as I didn't like him when he was here, we should have kept him.  And our picks.  And drafted a QB.

He's exactly the right guy to hold the ship steady while you coach up a prospect and build the team.  We probably would have won 7 games this year with TB5.  We've have a prospect learning, we'd have a bunch of picks still in hand for this draft and a much better cap situation.

I was one of the ones who wanted TB gone.  Can't take it back.  However, someone down there on Mint Street should have seen the situation for what it really was and made a better call.

TB5 was gone because he criticized the coaching staff. At the time I was pissed too and wanted him gone, but turns out he was telling it like it is and Rhule couldn’t handle it.

For real.  And what kind of coach doesn't draft a QB?  Every coach in recent memory always drafts a guy.  Most of the time you're coming into a situation where the team stinks, and they need a QB.  It's crazy to think Rhule decided to bet on Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold instead of just drafting a guy.

Is it hubris or just stupidity?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
