NFL Network analyst suggests Rhule needs Mayfield to save his job

As much as most people hate to hear it I dont believe this is a make or break year for Rhule with stipulations.   I think that was confirmed when it came out that Rhule wasnt the one especially interested in bringing in another qb.  I think if the overall team shows improvement (even if it's not so much in the win/loss bracket) and it comes down to the hole clearly being the qb, then I dont think hes fired if they struggle again.  That's not me offering my opinion about how I feel about it, that's just what I think. 

That particular item didn't "come out". It was suggested by a huddler with no sourcing.

Barely even qualifies as a rumor...

I think you and I are on the same sheet of music on this, including what the barometer is for Rhule Year IV (sort of like the Friday the 13th series or Saw).

If anything, bringing on some coaches with actual NFL experience may be more of a factor for Rhule than whether Mayfield, Darnold, or Corral starts the season under center.

These guys don't know what's going on on Mint St. What James Jones is suggesting doesn't even really jibe with the owner's comments.

Within that same vein, I'll take a hardcore fan's perspective about the state of a team over these B an C list national types any day of the week.

 

James Jones is a former player that somehow gives them credibility.  Most of these former players are encouraged to say outlandish things.  Steve Smith does it all the time.  People love it.

Doesn't mean they are right.

I mean, that is generally true.  But this doesn't really qualify as hot take click bait.  I mean, Rhule + Sam Darnold runback is a combo that the safe money would say ends Rhule's career in Carolina.

We’re going 5-12 whether Baker comes here or not. Might as well save the money

Baker likely gives us ~3 more wins over Darnold's total.  Is it worth it?  That's the question I think the staff and a lot of us fans are wrestling with.

I am really not trying to be funny, but it appears like some of Scots titles are becoming a little Special Juan-esque (with the unnecessary mystery).

You are correct, but hes alway done that just not as much. Plus he starts lots of threads.

1000% He is no better than Darnold and I don't know why people think he is. Look at the EXTREME difference in talent Baker has played with compared to Darnold and the results are the same....Maybe Mayfield has a tiny bit better stats because he throws a screen to Chubb with his elite OLINE and Chubb does the work to take it to the house. Not to mention how bad Baker is for a locker room. Imagine him Corrall, Darnold, Robby, Rhule and McAdoodoo on the same team....oh my 😞

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
