Love how it’s 3 weeks from game 1 of the regular season and we are talking about naming our starting QB and OL and letting them gel. Really setting these guys up for success.

Unfortunately rhule thinks he’s still in the big 12 circa 2016 🤷‍♂️

Lol, you guys just don't get it. 

This decision was already made long before now and the team already knew it. All the signs were there if you read body language and other signs like RA asking Baker for extra reps. He already knew.

The reason for this fake QB competition is simple. 

FREE PUBLICITY!!!

It's called marketing. It is a business and like all businesses advertising is important. Free advertising is priceless. 

Can you not see how many shows and articles were about the Panthers specifically BECAUSE of this so-called competition? We were talked about by everyone for weeks on all the major and minor shows. That's free advertising. 

It's genius if you are smart enough to see it. If not I can't help you. I can only lead you to water. I can't make you drink it.

There's good marketing and bad marketing. Making yourself look like a clown show is bad marketing.

Outside of Bozeman's injury and potentially LG, the starting OL is actually set.  Ickey, BC/Jordan, Bozeman, Corbett and Moton.  I don't think Brown, Tecklenburg, Horton or Erving is pushing for a starting spot.  Elflein may get the nod at center until Bozeman is healthy again.  Mays is good depth but isn't taking Corbett of Moton's job on the right side.  Camp competition is over, let the 1's all run together and get some continuity.

So, if I understand your theory correctly, we took away valuable training camp reps from our starter in order to get talked about on stuff like GMFB?

That doesn't seem like a real smart idea.

You know a great way to get all those shows to talk about you long after the doldrums of the offseason? Winning.

Hey it worked for the My Pillow guy really well didn't it. Any publicity is good for business.

Except you're wrong. The only ones calling us a clown show are around here. Many of those shows were talking about our improved roster and how Baker could take this teams to the playoffs. That's good marketing. It's genius.

Dabo just sits around and comes up w/ corny nonense and sells the hell out of it.  Somehow it works.  I no longer question how it does.    It's a mystery I quit debating long ago.  

and Dabo would be an utter failure as a NFL coach.  Yet is a modern day college GOAT.   His strengths don't translate.  And that's okay.  I still say Rhule is a knock off Dabo. 

I'm curious to see how things go with Venables leaving. IMO, he was the best football mind on that staff. Dabo can flat out recruit his ass off so I don't think Clemson is going to the dregs anytime soon but I wonder if they're still going to be perennial national title contenders minus Venables.

I'm curious in the bigger picture.  Clemson does a good job of having guys learn underneath to take over. 

Clemson's DL talent this year is great.  Pending they stay healthy, anyone should look good with that talent.  It will be interesting if they can get guys in without Venables and what the new guy does with his own recruits.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
