Igo, any credence to this?

This is a clown show and we all know it.

I'm a Panthers accelerationist. I want things to get so bad that Tepper has no choice but to sell the team.

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.

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.

i hear next week Rhule is giving Mayfield his Carolina Letter Jacket with a big C and a football pin.

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...

[rippadonn]

If it was a real QB competition we would have seen every QB behind the first and second team offensive lines.

Not in the least. It was Cam, Cam said no then it was trade for Baker.......... nobody else did... Seattle...mmmm...no......... anybody......Matty Rhule and Fitty.

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.

[Khaki Lackey]

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.

[dpanther69]

If this true it's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard,  but sadly it wouldn't surprise if true.

[rmoneyg35]

Let’s be honest, if it is true then no one in the panthers organization would admit it. We would get the same old “no nothing is wrong, we all are getting along and just trying to focus on the next game” bs that we always get from every coach.
