This move is 90% to set us back 3 plus years if not more. 

 

I think we just cemented our place in Purgatory. 

By what?  Giving us a worse draft pick if he plays well?  If he plays bad it shouldn't change much at all.

Like everyone says he plays to his normal 10 win self and Rhule thinks he's found the answer and we sign him long term and never win the Superbowl. 

 

I don't give a phuck about making the playoffs if we don't win the Superbowl.

Some people think you have to absolutely suck to get better.  5 wins were too many.  We need that  top 3 draft pick to get the QB of the future.  It worked out great for the Browns and Jets with Mayfield and Darnold.

Its madness.  Giving up hope before we've played a snap.

Throwing poo against the wall is madness

The new staff will most certainly draft one next year

If Baker is a bottom tier QB and Rhule is a terrible coach we should have a nice pick and can let Baker walk.  Wash our hands free of him and let our new coach draft his guy to compete with Corral.  If Corral is good we could have two young cheap QBs which is a great problem to have.

Mr completely just has to accept that this is who we are for now. He griped for weeks and weeks about this years QB class now he's posted up here all day griping about Mayfield. We are not tanking we never were in fact this is the very thing people tried to tell him but he didn't want to hear it. We were always going to try to compete. You can let this ruin your whole summer and fall or you can roll with it.

Who said anything about tanking?

Weren't you one of the people saying we should force Rhule to start Sam and let him get us a top 5 pick? At one point that was a fairly common take amongst those who didn’t want a QB in the draft. Most with common sense poured cold water on that though.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
