Yeah man, ignore 90% of the people here.. we have a chance to make noise this year.

Despite what everyone says Rhule is a good coach and is a system builder. Year 3 has always been his year!

We have built a good core around a volatile QB situation while taking big swings. If it doesnt work of this year we will draft one next draft. 

We are close! LFG!!!!

Lol , Rhules Core is Himself, Snow, and PJ Walker.

The best players on this team all predate Rhule except Chinn.

Quit watching after the Rhule rah rah speach...good group of guys. They need a professional coach.

Did you even listen to what he said? I was surprised to hear him say that, honestly. I really respected that. I also saw many players and many team leaders nodding their heads and looking like they believe in the process. 

Yes. Rhule failed last season and he looked unhealthy for it. He was obviously trying to do too much. I don't know what happened but it's clear to me that someone pulled him to the side because I see a different coach this season. He's still awkward in front of the camera but he's much more relaxed and he looks much healthier. 

He has an experienced staff that know what they're about and he can just be the HC.  People may hate him for the collapse last season, i get being unhappy and critical but not the kind of hatred being expressed around here and unfortunately also from some fans publicly but I believe that problems were identified and addressed. 

I respect people who can admit mistakes and move on and learn. I respect that he isn't hiding his knowledge of what people are saying and pretending it isn't there. I also like how he defined why he thinks they are wrong. "We have talent. We have competitions at positions we've never had before. If you want more time, more reps, then fight for it. If you want to win, fight for it."

I agree with this and it is clear, at least to me, that this is the culture he preaches about. Keep Pounding as a culture and not just pretty words to say and I think he has young leaders who believe in it and are helping him sell it. 

He may fail, we'll see but he is trying to do what he said he would do from day one and if he does succeed, with Fitty and this new staff I think we can build something great. We had 3 QBs lead scoring drives in PS game 1. Has that ever happened before?

I don't really believe it's 90% of everyone here, just the ones who post 10-20 times a day. A lot of people don't post but I see them pie positive comments when they come around. Which isn't so often likely because of the negativity. I post sometimes when something interesting is happening but I also post less than I would if most conversations didn't always end with the same people finding another reason to spew the same old things. Sometimes it's just too much for me.

They had a quality roster. I didn't know this was the least bit controversial of a statement. 

They certainly weren't the 1st or second worse by any stretch.

Again, his receivers were crap.  His RB's were decent.  The O-line was average.  It's just not true.

Yes I listen to it and it was nothing but rah, rah cringy coach speak. But with a user name like yours there is no use in arguing with you.

Why would people project hatred of themselves onto a football team. This statement is beyond stupid.

Great production, and great clips. These are always a highlight of the offseason.

This video is encouraging me to stop hanging out on the Huddle so much.

I realized watching this, if I didn't spend so much time here, I wouldn't have an opinion on who should be starting or how many reps someone should be getting. I'd just be enjoying watching Panthers football, and rooting for whoever is taking snaps under center. I like Baker. Have liked him for years, and if you'd told me a couple years ago he'd be a Panthers QB, I'd do a backflip. I like Darnold. He's never had anything but an atrocious team and an atrocious O-Line in front of him, and part of me really wouldn't mind him starting week 1 because I don't think we've actually see him perform up to his potential.

Dammit, I'm optimistic, and the only reason I feel an reservation in being optimistic is the constant negativity and criticism flying around here.

 

More of this. More of watching these guys grind and have fun. And less pissing and moaning and armchair GM-ing.

I agree. I feel like I enjoyed football in general more when I did not look at the forums.

Damn, seeing the Baker and MC relationship is definitely awesome to see.  Also, the QB room.... are defintely close. I dont think I've ever witnessed this kind of dynamic before. Still need to win football games, but very interesting and new to see.

I can see the future.  Baker will solidify the starting role, get us back to our winning ways, and mentor Corral in the process to be his eventual successor.

Also, Sam Darnold will be managing a Cinnabon in a St. Louis mall in 2023.

Where? He had horrible coaches (including KS imo), and his two best receivers wouldn't be a number 1 receiver on any other team. I don't even know if Landry is a 2nd receiver anymore. His tightends were meh for most of the time he was there. Njoku broke out as possibly a good TE (not good at blocking) but a year before 2021 fans wanted him cut from the team.. He had great running backs that KS seemed to misuse. And the oline while being good (better at run blocking) they were injured a lot especially last year. Defense was below average most of the time. The browns lost to the chiefs in the playoffs because of the defense. Basically baker never really had that great of pass catchers and even if you think I'm wrong about that, KS likes to scheme for tightends, a group the browns were below average at.

This is 100% spot on.... Signed: A Disgruntled Brown's fan.

Sam doesn't feel like a real human. Are we sure he's not robotic under his skin

The running backs were pretty damn good. The D Ends are elite and the corner spot is good. Oline is above average. The team wasn’t that bad.

some of these posters want the world to burn because their life sucks.  It comes out on these boards.  Ignore them or make fun of them.

I thought it was really well done, I enjoy the behind the scenes interactions between the players and coaches. Darnold seems like a great guy, just not a good quarterback.

Super encouraged by Baker, drinking the cool aid with no hesitation.
