The key to the season

it is how the Panthers play in the 3rd quarter also meaning how the coaching staff makes adjustments.  Since Rhule has been here the 3rd qtr performance has been awful, just awful.    The Panther staff has been embarrassingly outcoached.  Have to hope McAdoo has better half time skills and that Snow in his 3rd season has learned a lot....a whole lot.  Maybe Wilkes can help. Glad to have him back.

If the 3rd qtr performance does not improve, it does not matter who the starting QB is.

Not sure there has been enough changes to matter in the end. McAdoo was unemployed for a reason. He can only do so much anyway because this is the Rhule show for better or worse. 

Wilks was a nice addition but he was never a great DC honestly.  Great man and leader but not a great strategist.  He should do well in his current position however.  Snow is out of his depth just like Rhule. 

I'm not expecting much to change and predict the outcome for the season to be about the same as last season.

McAdoo was with the Cowboys last season

Key to season is Rhule being hands off and letting real coaches coach. He can stick to being a motivational speaker.

It would probably help if Rhule booked some motivational seminars for people on Sunday afternoons, in places like Milwaukee, Des Moines, Little Rock, and San Antonio.  Anywhere but Charlotte or where the city the Panthers happen to be playing a road game.

So?  I'm afraid he alone will not be enough to change the smell coming from BOA. 

But I have come to accept the fact that I will have to endure the Rhule process until the bitter end. He's done a decent attempt to piece together a better offense this season at least I will give him that.

But I digress,  fug Baker Mayfield.

I agree with the OP 100%.  Also throwing the ball deep (with some completions) will help us a ton as well. Last year corners were just sitting on curls, slants, and outs. Opposing Safeties lived in the box. The Offense has to be able to take shots and land a few to keep defenses honest.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
