Matt Rhule Is Confused

People love to bash him just to bash him. That's the cool thing to do now.

He’s provided enough subject matter over two years to warrant all the bashing. 
 

those defending him are just doing so that on the off chance he catches some success, they can come back and say “see, I backed him all the way.”

Yep it's that. The funny thing is one of the loudest pro Rhule posters in this very thread last summer vowed to serve up crow to everyone who said Sam Darnold wasn't the answer. By December they disappeared 🤣

The real quote for those who have problems with quotes.

Makes me think back to when he kept starting Erving over Brady…

“I want us to be a competitive team,” he said. “I talk about competition all the time, meaning you gotta fight for what you want. Again, my job is not to pick the starting quarterback. I have to make that decision. It’s the guys’ play. Russell Wilson, ya know, walked into a situation in Seattle with Matt Flynn, who had just had a guaranteed contract and Charlie Whitehurst, they just traded for, and he won the job. So I want competition. The best player will play.”

 

Unfortunately we don't have journalists. We have Twitter

 

That’s not the quote I’m talking about. The quote I’m referencing in op is from a video on ESPN.com, taken from a Matt Rhule presser.

ESPN unfortunately did not give me any option to copy link or embed, at least not on mobile. It’s not far down on the panthers team page.

This has been posted multiple times.  First off Rhule has last say on the roster.  Second off if you listen to the whole quote before you try to bash him he was just saying it's the players play the will ultimately decide the starter.  Aka it's an open competition. 

Why they gave a coach with little NFL experience full roster control is beyond ridiculous. Tepper gave HURNEY roster control over one of the best defensive coaches in the league in Ron Rivera yet gave it to Rhule, who is good at what, exactly?

Don't see any video of Rhule.  You talking about this:

or this:

Both are from the press conference 2 days ago.

I’m not a Rhule fan it’s just super old watching our own fans bash him/the team religiously. The contrarian in me now has to defend Matt Rhule/the team. I hope he turns it around. I really doubt he does but I hope he does the hatred he’s getting is od imho but I get it at the same time.

I don't know what the quote is or really care. All I do know is a ma a fan of the team but not of Rhule and I still think he is in way over his head in the NFL unless one of our coordinators or assistants can help him along and hold his hand this season. With that said I still hope the team wins and wins like hell but I'm definitely not going to believe we are super bowl bound. Hope and belief are two very different things. I do like this gif though so I'm posting it as well.dumb spider man GIF

To be fair in the 2 seasons he took over a very old roster with holes everywhere and now our roster is much younger and much fewer holes overall.  It just happens that we still dont know for sure if we have filled the QB hole which is the most important by far.

It's not whether there were or were no holes. It's that they gave it to Rhule to fix. Fitterer is a good GM, let him do his job.

On paper they seem to be working together pretty well so far besides the huddle blaming any move they dont like on Rhule and praising fitterer for any move they like.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
