Yeah it was definitely an “oh poo” moment. He knew he shouldn’t had said that. It was a media speak blunder. 
 

im pretty sure the panthers PR team has been telling this staff “don’t let the media create a circus around our QB situation” this whole off-season.

What’s even funnier is that Rhule followed up with expressing his disappointment that McAdoo named Darnold the starter last week because he should be the one to name the starter.

No he didn’t…. “Ben made a statement about the starting quarterback and that got retracted out of respect for me. I should state the starting QB”

 

zero disappointment and smiling the whole time.

Trying to keep Darnold from holding out and forcing a trade.

DO IT, HOLD OUT AND FORCE A TRADE PLEASE

They really like Sam as a person and really wanted him to succeed but at this point they know it’s over and they feel bad about what they’re about to do.

Darnold holding out wouldn’t be bad at all. Throw in PJ, high pick QB next year, profit. Corral will need time and competition.

This season is a wash anyways.

It’s scary to think some of you guys are in the real world making inaccurate assumptions about people that you come across. 
 

Fitterer was obviously disappointed he made that statement. And I haven’t seen Rhule be this professional interacting with the media since his introduction to the team.

Please… the smiling was him covering up his disappointment. He felt that McAdoo undermined him which he probably did. I personally wouldn’t put that out in the media though.

Fitt doesn’t seem to like the media interviews. I think he is too honest with them because that’s just his personality and he realized he stated, indirectly, they are favoring their 3rd round rookie over Sam.

i doubt it was undermining ... Ben has always been horrible with media, worse than Rhule. I dont think the QB narrative is something being driven by Rhule but rather the Panthers PR. They dont want the unnecessary media attention.

Fitterer must be fun to play poker with. Bet he wonders why he loses all the time.

Y’all are pressing. Dude obviously is uncomfortable with public speaking. It was a nervous twitch. Calm your tits.

If it was truly a mistake then they don’t need to put McAdoo in front of the camera. I can see why Rhule would be upset… I mean he’s the HC. I just wouldn’t have made the comment he did in the interview about the whole respect thing.

the expression Fitter had was like "..I can't believe I just said that, this guy isn't going to be good.."

What else could that have meant?

If he didn't have confidence in Corral, he'd have drafted someone else. There were other options, Sam Howell for one.

This theory is stupid.

Darnold is making 18 million dollars regardless whether he plays or not. I am not that concerned with hurting his feelings....never seen a gone coddled like this on this team.
