And yet, Baker STILL wanted to come here.

(although seriously -- have we heard from people who know whether Rhule truly is a players' coach vs what we see and comment on here?)

Not originally...

Early word was that he was as disinterested in us as some of our guys were in him.

That's why the "talking to him" thing was important. He had to be sold on the idea.

Our buddy Ellis for one.

Heck, even Gantt addressed the question (I think in one of his Ask the Old Guy columns) confirming at the time that Rhule does still have final say but has been asked/suggested to listen more to those around him.

You mean this one where he said Rhule appears to still be lead chair?   It says the exact opposite of what you said.    What exactly from John Ellis says that he has some source that Tepper reigned in Rhule?

You're not exactly good at reading, are you? 😆

i mean clearly from a public perception standpoint the Carolina Panthers intentionally altered Matt Rhule’s availability and presence after his nightmare season. That alone tells you their has been a shift in how he is being viewed.  They made him disappear and when he returned the GM was the lead publicly on all things.  A deviation from his prior seasons.  Plus there is the fact the HC that was booed out of BOA last year until Tepper brought Cam in….had his staff revamped with at least 3 guys that could take his job temporarily and all 3 be more qualified for the role than Rhule was day 1.

Or Rhule just chose that he didn't want to deal with the press. 

He fired his OC, so he had to replace that.  As for the other staff, some were fired and others left of their own accord. 

It doesn't matter, you're going to believe whatever you want anyway.

      Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

      By Basbear · Posted

      It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so.  Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what happens. In theory you should also add picks, but it does get to point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup.   Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years......   Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover.  I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.
