When did you figure out Rhule was a fraud?


Randolph Panther

Rivera goes 5-7 and gets fired.

Rhule goes 5-11, 5-12, and likely 4-13 and he gets 4 more years for his 7 year plan.

Now, I thought the Panthers needed to replace Rivera to take the next step to championship SB level, but I knew the Panthers had to be patient in looking for that coach that would be an upgrade over Rivera. Same with Fox. These are NFL head coaches who can maintain a team in the NFL and beat the Rhules, Meyers, and Moras of the NFL consistently.

I knew Rhule was fools gold after seeing how he was unprepared to win an NFL game in the final 6 minutes. This showed with Bridgewater at QB during the Bears, Saints, Falcons, and Chiefs run in 2020. That offense was never prepared in practice to manage/win a close game. It was by the Falcons game I knew this experiment was over and the Chiefs game hammered it home for me. I believed Bridgewater 100% following the season.

amazing how his stench is still all over this franchise 

Is it?

I mean, it feels like he's been in big boy chair here for 80% of our existance....may not be that long, but sure does feel like it.

Almost have to wonder if he's a secret Falcons fan or something.

I was not excited about this hire. College coaches, historically, don't have success in the NFL. But I wanted to be wrong. I just didn't get that HC feel from him. He looks like he belongs sitting behind a computer in a cubical all day making TPS reports. And he seems like the guy who would forget the cover sheet. In all seriousness, I've been on the fence for a while, but that playing for the FG crap is what finally did it for me. He's weak and will never have success as a HC in this league. Personally, he should be done. He probably knows he has one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel. Nothing he can do. He just has to wait until he finally gets that call, and hopefully, it's soon.

    • The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.  
    • we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play. 
    • He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
