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.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
