Breaking news.  Team with no LT finally announces the #6 overall pick and first lineman drafted is the LT. 

Would not even be news if we had a competent coaching staff. As is, was a question mark. Headline should have read:

Coaching staff finally does super obvious thing even armchair mouth breathers could get right.

In other news: the sky is blue, water is wet, women have secrets.

Feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t hate how this was handled. 99% of his reps were at LT all camp and he was named the starter before preseason week 2. I don’t think it was the worst thing in the world to not just give it to him right of the bat. Yeah we all knew he’d be the LT but doesn’t hurt to at least act like there is some sort of earning that had to be done for a rookie. 

 

Rhule has a lot of head scratchers but this seems pretty normal to me

Great news...now do QB next because it is even more obvious already.

Floundering head coach goes into preseason with 4 QB's on the roster and gives meaningful preseason reps to the only one that a brain dead lemur on crack can see won't be on the team come opening day.

No reporter asks meaningful questions about this.

I mean yeah, but at this point I'm just venting my ire at the man who killed my love of the team. 

Remember, keep your focus on what matters here:

Me.

But there is no earning. Rhule is incompetent and has not been able to put any worthy competition there. Announcing it now is better than holding off just for that point and basically give the youngsters the impression you’re an idiot, although I am sure Rhule will prove it to them eventually anyways.

      So, just what is it that makes a QB "elite"?

      By The Lobo · Posted

      I think what makes a qb elite is when every week you think your team has a chance to win because of your qb. No matter who they play, they always make you feel like you have a chance. I have not gotten that feeling once while watching Bryce.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By d-dave · Posted

      Great point!  The quotes from O'Connell about teams failing rookie Qbs and the one about how you coach them after 3 picks and a loss were really interesting.  To me, an idiot with a keyboard, it means NFL teams need to be patience if they are going to have quality QB play. So bringing me to Bryce, is there some benefit to being patient.  I know it's not a particularly popular opinion around here, and even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  Most QBs, when benched lose their confidence.  It takes a LONG time to get it back.  Bryce on the other hand was benched, and came back a different player.  I feel like that's worth a lot more than the physical talents of a guys like AR15... I think Bryce has the mental make up to be a good NFL QB.  His problem will always be his tools.  Now it's on coaching to work around that.  Bryce is more physically gifted than late years Drew Brees (low bar, I know).   While I'm content to see what happens this season, there's a small part of me that says...maybe we should see what grows?  (let me duck and hide from the well earned vitriol the Panthers have earned). Then again, I agree that some guys get it while others just don't.  I'm still hoping for the Panthers and Bryce to find success this season.  But if not, I won't be too surprised if the plug is pulled and there is a restart.
