Well at least we are not Dallas...

Sure you didn't. I said it is week 1, and I'll wait a few weeks to judge THIS team.

And you jumped right in with. "It's not week 1. It's week 35". You may not have exactly twisted my words. But you sure ignored them to dump on Rhule.

So like I said. Exactly how this board works. I'm Wrong because I didn't dis on Rhule, and have a differing thought line. 

Several people this offseason told me they had "facts" to back up that Rhule was going to be a better coach this year.

When I asked them to cite what those facts were, the vast majority stated one of two things: "His college teams got better in year three" or "We had the number two defense in the NFL last year".

As has been pointed out, Rhule's college teams also improved in year two, but his pro team finished with the same record and actually looked worse so counting on the year three magic doesn't really make much sense.

The number two defense thing was always silly, but I think after Sunday not too many people are going to be referring back to that.

Now "I'm trying to be positive" or "I'm trying to keep an open mind" is perfectly valid, but it's not a fact. You said "facts", so with that in mind I'm willing to hear what facts you think you have.

I'd keep in mind though that since you said you're not talking about the past, anything you cite from previous seasons will be hindered by that statement.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
