Yeah, “earning it” is an odd way to say, playing favorites.

The whole "earning it" was most likely in response to criticism last year that they handed Darnold the job (not to mention exercising his fifth year) with no questions asked.  So, like most people that have no idea what they are doing and catch some flack, they do the polar opposite in response (the other option is to double down). 

The difference between Darnold and Mayfield was the former has shown no ability to win on an NFL field.  Mayfield at least has shown flashes and accomplished some things. 

Those saying it somehow earned Mayfield credibility in the locker room by having to "earn it" miss one thing about professional athletes:  Mayfield earns respect when he proves they can count on him to produce wins or leave everything on the field trying.  Winning some half-arsed "competition" means about zero.

Bet Bozeman would've known about "earning" it before signing here now...

That whole thing just pisses me off. A proven talented guy comes to what should be a better situation and then finds he's got to compete with some scrub, gets hurt for a couple weeks of practice then the job gets given to the scrub who succeeds in putting the ball in the fake dirt's 5 times? Lol what a clown show. Guarantee not many vets are going to want to come here in the future unless they are desperate.

Hell, I’m fine with a competition but it needs to be a true competition, meaning that you could ask 50 people who they think is better and 25 say option A and the other 25 say option B.

That wasn’t the case with Mayfield and Darnold and it’s not the case with Bozeman and Elflein… yet somehow Elflein is still getting all the run at center… even after snapping the ball off his ass multiple times last week.

The moral of the story here is any competition among players for a position is only as good as the person judging it.

I think Rhule may share a very ominous trait with one Marty Hurney.  They both seem to think they see positives in players that nobody else sees.  Unfortunately, there is a reason nobody else see it.

It wasn't a QB competition, he lied, you can't see it?!

This was all exactly what he wanted to do while trying to deceive the public into believing that bull. 

"I can't wait to coach Cam Newton" remember that lie? Integrity? Man of your word?

How does that bus feel to Elfein now? Cam still has fresh treadmarks.

You guys need to go to couples abuse counseling.

This man has absolutely no integrity as far as what he says is concerned. What he's done?! What he's actually done...

Yep.

When someone isn't competent, it's not necessarily that they're always making the same mistake. It's that no matter what the choice is, they tend to make the wrong one.

Reports like this came out at the beginning of Ron’s 3rd year. There were threads on here about him constantly cursing out the players in practice and how they hated him and how he had lost the locker room.

All exaggerated horseshit, of course.

We might be in for a great season. I mean, I’m not going to hold my breath, but we might.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
