Just screwing with you since you tagged me on some random doing great in camp tweet. I saw him give up a few receptions. Not even sure who Hodgins is but he got open on CJ and caught a few. Didn’t see the big play. Anyway, I don’t put much stock into the camp heroes stuff especially since it’s meaningless when TMJ has twice been put up as a camp star. The preseason games have so much starters going against 2nd and 3rd stringers that it’s not a good comparison. I’ll wait until he actually plays to draw any conclusions.

Why Rhule again? Ok, maybe you can say he’s made every personnel decision on every draft pick and who to sign but why is he responsible solely for the 5th year option? Does he do all the cap decisions and contract negotiations too? Some people love that Sulieman cap star so why wouldn’t he decide that with Fitterer? Why would the coach get involved in whether you wait to use the franchise tag/long term extension or decide early with the 5th year?

I get the Rhule hate. I’d rather have a better coach but this is a huge reach that a coach with minimal salary cap knowledge coming from college would make what is fundamentally a cap/contract decision.

I’m not a Rhule supporter but damn it gets ridiculous with how much he gets blamed for that most likely wasn’t him. If Corral ends up as bad as he’s looked, didn’t we all say Fitterer was handed the keys or are we going to say Rhule was trying to undercut his development?

Dude, I don't hate Rhule at all. I'm a Rhule supporter and even I didn't understand immediately picking up the 5th year option. I was pretty much defending Sam with my comment because it is really not his fault that he makes that much to suck as the person I quoted was saying.

Besides, a GM is not going to extend a player without the coach signing off on it. What good would it do for a GM to extend a player the coach doesn't want around for a while?

You're right. I don't think I said anything wrong for him to come at me like that lol

A good GM and cap guy would know that if Sam did well they could extend or tag him. A good GM and cap guy tell the coach, we’ve got him as long as we want and we don’t risk him not succeeding and having a guaranteed $18M+. The coach isn’t making the cap/contract decisions. We have a “cap specialist” who’s been lauded by many. This should have been his call. Run the numbers and it was easy.

We really have to stop blaming him for everything especially stuff that absolutely is GM/cap guy territory.

Not blaming anyone. Just explaining the typical role between coach and GM. I never said it was a correct decision on eithers part. As with any coach/GM role they both share the accolades and them criticism in this business.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
