I probably started up talking Joe Brady today when someone randomly started saying Joe Brady was responsible and the reason the Sam Darnold mistake happened. 

I mean, that's not true.  But it's what people do when they are looking to cleanse the people still employed from their mistakes. 

 

Lol are you referring to the first post I quoted above?  Cause that's the one you directly quoted initially that inspired you to jump in and start defending Brady.  In which case your hyperbole about all these supposed Brady haters is on full display...absolutely zero mention of Sam Darnold. And no one is using Brady to deflect any blame from Rhule and the other coaches.  It's absolutely absurd that that's your claim.  Rhule is basically universally hated across these boards.  People have criticized virtually every member of this organization at one point or another but Joe Brady is in unique company as the only one you continue to jump in and defend against these imaginary people saying Joe Brady single-handedly destroyed our entire organization and forced Rhule to make every bad decision he has ever made, and punched 27 puppies while he did it.

You saying that people use Brady to deflect the failures of others seems like incredibly transparent projection considering deflecting from Brady's failures is precisely what you continue to do.  You already seem to have moved the goalposts of your defense from Brady being "impressive" to "hey I just don't think he deserves 100% of the blame for every single one of our failures from the past 2 years while arguing Rhule is perfect in every way".  Like, okay dude lol sure I can agree to that extremely sizzling hot take.  That's a great point.

I mean there is literally a post somewhere that claims Joe Brady is the one responsible for Sam Darnold being here.  I’m not going go find where it is lol.  Might be in another thread. Then I might of responded to yours. 
 

All I know Matt Rhule.  No matter what degree Joe Brady sucks has no bearing on that

Joe B was a driving voice behind the Teddy Bridgewater signing so it does stand to reason he had input on Sam. Go back and read those articles where he and Matt Rhule talk about Teddy.

Yeah don’t worry I think we’ve established by now that the best defense you can muster up of Joe Brady is that “Matt Rhule sucks”. That’s a very brave take. I think we can put this to rest now.

Getting NFL HC interviews only happens if you are catching the eye and ears of the league.  I suspect they likely were wanting to feel him out for for down the road if he continued to impress and progress.  To say he wasn't impressing is just denying the reality of the talk around him at the time.  Whether you agreed with it or not isn't really relevant.  It existed.  Just or unjust. 

I think the 2021 Panthers were an utter trainwreck. One that really was not recognized properly.   And Urban helped saved Matt Rhule and the Panthers from getting the light on them they would have without Urban.  Because while Panthers were a seasonal shitshow, Urban was a once in a decade type debacle.  

 

Brady getting head coaching interviews was for one reason: teams were obsessed with trying to uncover the next Sean McVay, i.e. undiscovered young offensive mastermind. There was no buzz around Brady being a serious contender for any of those jobs after his interviews and once his body of work was actually evaluated, he couldn't even sniff another OC position.

Brady could become a good OC some day, maybe. But he'll need a ton more experience before I'd feel comfortable handing him the keys to any offense. At the end of the day, his claim to fame is one year as a passing game coordinator for a team with Joe Burrow and two wide receivers who just had the most historic rookie seasons for a wide receiver in NFL history in back to back seasons. Suggests to me that Brady owes them more for his success than the other way around.

@MasterAwesome one juicy tid bit for whatever this rhule vs brady/no fire.....no idea or want to find out what happening in here. So to the juice-

 

Joe Brady lost a push-up contest to 68 year old phil snow...I believe in front of the whole team...

Yeah, there's no recovering from that. He probably resigned immediately after this but they fired him as a solid so he could collect unemployment until he found a new gig

Teddy B was also the simply the no brainer add given they hired Joe Brady (running a Saints variant O) and had to install an O when COVID hit.    It just made sense.    If you had to bring any vet QB in....Teddy was always to obvious add in that moment given what we were.  Without Brady lobbying for it.  It was easy to identify.   And that worked. 

Signing Teddy to a two year deal wasn't a problem.  They slightly overpaid him but you could almost justify that to get a functional base O up and running in such a weird window.  

We inititally were on the correct rebuild path.  Sign Teddy.  Get a base O up and functioning. Draft a QB.  Drafted QB takes over in year two and you see what you got and move from there.  But we got off the obvious path.   And part of that was a completely green staff and they botched the early rebuild but it was intitally set up properly.

Yet Teddy had no problem throwing Brady under the bus on his way out. 

Funny how life works.

Joe Brady is just a tool people use to deflect from how bad Matt Rhule has been in Carolina. 

Joe Brady sucked last year.  I don't argue that.  But there was going to be no other outcome.  You have green passing OC.....and you supplied him with a bad OL, bad QB and a HC that doesn't want to pass lol.  Which brings us back to Matt Rhule.

Of course he did, he'd been butting heads with Brady all season.

Brady was the greenest college coach we had and was CLEARLY in over his head.  Firing Brady was correcting a mistake that should have never been made.  I am glad he is gone and we are better off for it.

Was Rhule wrong hiring Brady?  Yes.
Was Rhule wrong firing Brady?  HELL NO.

CRA hates Rhule SO much, that when Rhule fires the idiot, all he cares about is Brady's career and how the poor guy got scapegoated, when the reality is,  Brady shouldn't have been here to begin with.  CRA is just a hater.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
