0-3. Is the leash that short?

I don't think we will go 0-3.  For the last few years, our teams have done fairly well at the start of the season.  3-0 last year, 2-2 the year before.  Its after we get past the first 3 or 4 games that we struggle.  

Yeah, it's once we put some film on tape for the opposition to study that we start getting vastly out coached and out schemed.

I truly think Tepper will wait until the end of the season. If the team finishes trending upward (even if they don’t make playoffs) Rhule will be retained. If they look worse as a team and don’t show progress then he will be fired.

As dumb as Tepper is he may not even fire him.

I mean, besides our bottom of the roster guys, the team has looked pretty good this preseason. I'm slightly shocked at the overreaction on the board after that game last night. Our 2s dominated their ones, all of who played well into the second quarter, and we had a 3rd string QBs, and back end of the roster WRs playing. I mean Kieth Kirkwood was a starter, he isn't even going to make the team.

You sir, have been around long enough to know better!

I think the BOA crowd determines his fate.  If we are losing and he is getting booed out by midseason (like last year)…..he gets fired in season.  

Rhule better have something to show for after Brady/Tampa get done beating us at BOA.  If not, that IMO will be a bad crowd for Rhule. 

Rhule is going to need to win early and at home.  If he does that he probably can last the season.

Look worse than what? Progress according to what? This would be asinine. There are stats, historical precedence and beloved analytics showing that would make no sense.

How many coaches get a year 4 without a post season appearance? Anyone want to guess? Where is Mr. Scot…it’s literally like 1 or 2 in 40 years.

Why the fug does Tep say fug history and think Rhule is so special. What am I not seeing.

Teams do NOT need 5-7 years for success, that poo is maddening. Tepper is one dumb motherfuger.

The scarier scenario is what if we do win those first 3 games, a la last season, and then he starts to go Super Rhule again, and we can't win for the next 10 weeks or so?

Ahh, what a time to be a Panthers fan!  Thanks Tepper!

That scenario is quite believable in looking at our schedule.

I always wait until preseason to make any predictions, since historically, when we've been bad in preseason it carries over true to the real games. It's not about winning or losing, but more just how the team plays and looks and carries itself in the preseason that I look at. That said, I have no confidence in Rhule. Zero. At least he hasn't admitted his surrender yet with a public comment about how he has to play Alabama every week now.

2-15 or 3-14, and it needs to be that bad to break up this arrangement. 7 or 8 wins keeps him here because of progress, and there can be some more "teams lose when they don't know why they lose" nonsense.

We split with Atlanta. They are on a similar level of ineptitude with us.

I lean towards Seattle being the other win, but the trip itself coupled with it being later in the season worries me a bit.

The 3rd win if applicable, Atlanta, New Orleans which is very mortal after the 1st string defense, Detroit, Browns, only as a Baker revenge game since I do feel we are overmatched by their defense, or the Giants, although getting manhandled by a lesser version of the Giants last year is a concern.

Most of the schedule offers little hope. Even teams like the Steelers, that are probably looking at a disappointing year, have an advantage since we have yet to show we can stop the run in 4 years now.

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
