We've got a Panthers believer

What is this 'Matt Rhule tends to have a big jump in Year 3' BS that continues to perpetuate? His biggest jumps have come from years 1 to 2 (while at Baylor), and otherwise his team continued on whatever trajectory they were on from Year 1 to Year 2.

That was a huge part in why I lost faith in this team last year and why I have none this year.

You obviously have to have some faith otherwise you wouldn’t be here 

I'm here because I'm not ready to completely give up yet. I'm hoping that they can turn it around. If they don't then I'm probably gone....at least until Rhule is gone. I don't know. I've got a lot of other stuff going on that's been more interesting than the Panthers so I'd probably just put more energy into other stuff. Panthers is only a part of my life that's been becoming less and less a part of it because they seem to be stuck and I'm tired of waiting around for them to figure it out.

Are we really happy with being the 7th seed in the playoffs, getting killed game 1 and then running it back with Matt Rhule and a more expensive Baker Mayfield...... I think thats the worst case scenario. 

So what would make you happy? 2-15 and start all over? Your such a tool! Some of us don’t care who is coaching and playing QB if we are winning.

Some of y'all don't care about winning a super bowl and love mediocrity and what exactly are you winning?

You didn’t answer my question. 

Yes, I would if we got one of these stud QBs in the 2023 class to build around and would have 10xs the salary and had our first choice at a new coach.... Mediocrity is very hard to get out of. Look at the hornets. Now answer my question: Can Baker Mayfield/Rhule win you the NFC or a super bowl?

I can understand that. I don’t live or die with them anymore.  I’m still a diehard fan and always will be… but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s a lot easier to expect nothing.. if they win, great, that’s a plus.  I’ll enjoy my Sunday.. if they don’t play well and lose, I’ll focus my attention on other things; and still enjoy my Sunday.  I won’t be upset all week until the following Sunday like I used to be

I'm not even upset anymore if I miss a game and it happens to be a good one. I'll watch the replay but I don't plan my Sundays around the game during football season anymore. If I get to watch it, cool, but we've lost so often the last several years I'm just not that upset anymore. I basically just don't care much anymore. My involvement in here makes it seem like I'm more interested than what I am.

I mean I do think that Rhule is bad and that he's gonna hold back the team while he's here, but I know he's not going anywhere so I'm just kind of like...

so because Rhule made decisions that resulted horrendous coaching (including himself) and qb and oline play to go downhill, those things actually aren’t his fault and we actually improved despite losing even more games year two????

rhule…that u?

It's way easier to win with a coach who makes poor roster decisions than with a coach who doesn't know how to coach.  All you have to do is take the unilateral roster management out of his hands, or at least institute some roster oversight, which we seem to have with Fitterer and Morgan now.  I'd say Rhule mostly falls in the former category of a coach who has been a victim of his own terrible personnel decisions - Sam Darnold, Joe Brady, etc.  I think it's still TBD whether Rhule can actually coach or not, since the aforementioned terrible roster decisions have been so overpowering that it makes the coaching aspect more difficult to evaluate.  I'll feel comfortable making a decision one way or another by mid-way through this season.  There are no excuses this year - either produce or GTFO.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
