Rhule defenders chime in here

We could also see no plan was really in place and they're just winging it when it comes to QB, offensive philosophy, & identity.  The QB shuffle we've done has been the most revealing about this regime and how they're just throwing darts and seeing what sticks.  Cannot wait for a high draft pick and a fresh coach next year.  It will feel like we all just finally got a massive dump out of our system and showered.

Nothing is wrong with Sam or Baker. Both could be good enough to get to a Super Bowl with the right staff. Tom Brady couldn't even overcome this poo show of a team.

Also, we should've drafted Evan Neal. Whoever thought it was a better idea to take Ickey is an NC State Homer or a moron. He has been beaten like a 7th round pick since he took snaps with the 1's in practice. He has been the worst left tackle in the league. 

If they want Baker to survive, they need to move Ickey to the right and Moton to the left; it can't be any worse than it is right now.

Theres no defense.  Rhule sucked again this week.   The offense was anemic. That  Chuba's  last years performance and then preseason this year, showed that he is not an NFL running back. His insistence on ever putting Chuba on the field is dumbfounding.   Rhule's arrogance on his ability to develop bad players will play a big part in his undoing.

So all of this "hope" and "optimism" you guys were preaching preseason doesnt really trump being realistic.  Got it

The funniest thing for outsiders that aren't Panthers fans: We've been acting as if we're at the precipice of being contenders, more active in trades than anyone else, but at the same time don't seem to really have an identity or experience even moderate success.  

It was like we never accepted we were in a rebuild and just went straight to operating like a contender while saying "there's a 7-year plan".  I imagine we're just a confusing team to decipher and not in a good way.

What is Rhule's thing? Most NFL head coaches have a thing whether it's running backs (Daboll), defensive scheme (Buffalo, Washington, Seattle), Offense (Green Bay, Denver, Los Angeles). Like what is his thing? As far as I can tell he doesn't have a thing that he's actually good at so he doesn't full understand the game and how to manage it.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
