I want Rhule gone and I think this team won't have a chance until he is  gone, but I don't want it done because some player won't come here unless he gets his HC of choice. I know it would probably be Brian Flores who would be an incredible upgrade, but I would rather just Tepper bite the bullet on his own and make it happen rather than using Watson as an excuse. 

If he's not convinced enough about Rhule to even let it be a non-starter in negotiations with Watson, then Rhule should have been gone already.

Yep, the insanity behind keeping Rhule is evident again with this whole fiasco.

This is a huge red flag.  Tepper is really trending in the wrong direction fast.

Tepper reeks of desperation and has put the Panthers in a horrible position where they have no leverage.

Sure, Jerry Richardson ran a Mom and Pop organization for two decades.

But, that's still far better than David Tepper's Amateur Hour that we've been witnessing for the last 3 years.

On one hand its been refreshing to see an owner put his foot down and not tolerate stagnation. But it is alarming that he seems to meddle too much. I feel like he risks stalling necessary growth and road bumps to chase instant success.

It's OK to put your foot down. But so far Tepper has been stomping on turds.

Tepper probably told him to play out this year, serve whatever suspension he will get and Rhule is gone.

They will pick a coach together next offseason.

That is the only logical reason why Rhule is still employed.

Yep. Having a player-GM sounds like a really, really dumb decision.

How are you supposed to coach a player who you know got you the job and could also get you tired tomorrow? You'd basically have an NBA team in the NFL.

The Cleveland Browns have been aggressive about Watson and are “incredibly interested,” and are regarded as a “wild-card entry” into his trade market

The Browns are among up to 10 teams that have been actively monitoring the situation, Wilson reported, adding Cleveland has done a lot of work on Watson lately and is regarded as “a wild-card entry” into his trade market.

The Browns have Baker Mayfield installed as their starting quarterback, but Watson is obviously better.

Tepper is wasting his wealth in all the wrong areas.

Tepper has made poor decisions from the outset.  Had he hired a successful NFL executive 3 years ago, (rather than putting all his trust in Hurney) this unfortunate turn of events could have easily been avoided.  Instead, Tepper foolishly puts all the team's decision making authority in the hands of Matt Rhule, an NFL novice.

The rest is history.

I honestly don't see a way back to relevance for the Panthers if Tepper doesn't radically change his ways. 

Mortgaging the team's future for one player isn't the answer. 

The NFL isn't the PGA.

This is the Vikings Herschel Walker trade disaster all over again.

This could be the system working 1000% that we just can't see, yet.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      By Basbear · Posted

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
