Is Rhule the worst coach in the NFL right now

Looking at the other games across the league this weekend yeah I would have to say so as much as it sucks to see another year. There are some not great teams who came out swinging and either won or their offense looked significantly better than ours did for an entire half. Particularly the NFCS. Bucs kicked the poo out of the Cowboys who blew us out last season and the Saints/Falcons took it down to the wire with Mariota and Winston. The pathetic excuses some Panthers fans are clinging to aren't going to last we've got a long season ahead.

Our team didn't look prepared at all on offense or defense. ST gets a break because of kicker injury.

Cleveland ran the most vanilla offense possible, with numerous back-ups in play, and we couldn't stop them. Our defense just slowed them down and waited for them to screw up a series on their own.

Our offense came out with a plan of let Baker throw, throw and throw but with little to help protect him except for keeping CMC back to block on some of the plays. We "limited" CMC to 13 or 14 touches, including the one where he picked up a muffed snap and ran to daylight with it. We muffed the snap 5 times (not four) which is worse than you'd see in a high school JV game.

We looked flaccid yesterday. And we got beat by a team that we'd have killed with last year's squad.

If Rhule isn't the worst HC in the league right now, then I don't know who is. I was headed into this season with the desperate hope that I had been wrong about him and that he was turning it around and had the personnel to do the job.

Nope. This team has regressed and that's on the coaching staff and the work they've done in the off and pre- seasons.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
