I'm sorry, Rhule's unwillingness to replace players that aren't getting it done needs to get him axed more than anything else. 

There was no reason at all that he shouldn't have sat Hubbard immediately after the fumble. Moreover, it was painfully obvious to me that Shi is at a severe disadvantage at the point of contact. He's small. Once he dropped a couple of balls, Rhule should've made sure that TMJ was put into the game to at least see if the big second-rounder could actually do what he was drafted to do. And lastly, it's a damned shame that Marquan McCall didn't get some legit play until Roy went out. Oh, yeah, why not just put Ricci into the game more to see what he can do (though that may be more of a question for the OC).

It's so frustrating to see fug-ups and uninspired coaching.

Yes it's bad especially in the Robbie Anderson area where he can't catch a ball from any QB. Still this Roster has talent it's just not being coached to it's potential. 

Anderson? He hasn't dropped one this year. Out of all the things you mention, you mention Anderson. Come on, dude.

didn't a bunch of nfl execs say rhule's regime was the least meritorious in the league? turdball way to run a team and the chickens are coming home to roost

I wouldn't be surprised. 

Players need to sit down, if nothing else but to get their head together, if they're not getting it done. You can't just be pigheaded and continue to play a player based on preseason when the live bullets start flying. Neither Shi, Roy or Hubbard have done enough in the league to just stick with them when there are other players behind them with potentially more upside. I'm not saying that you don't get them in the game, but you have to let others get an opportunity. Go with the hot hand at least until someone earns their role.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
