TOUGH QUESTION OF THE NIGHT: Name one area on the team that has improved under Rhule

defense played well, secondary is the best we’ve had in a while. ron didn’t believe in DBs. OL is the best we’ve had in a long time. people bitched for years that we didn’t address the LT. now we did, and people still bitch. don’t give me the crap about how he sucks. he’s played well for a rookie in one of the more difficult positions on the field. look at how well BC has developed. now extrapolate that to icky + BC, and the OL is solid.

I think the team is overall better. They just can’t seal the deal in crucial moments. It feels like a good team with a case of the yips. 

Fun fact the most horrendous, pathetic teams ever fielded in nfl histories with records from 0-3 wins actually averaged about eight games where the final score was one score or less.

8 games. That’s half the season. That’s average - sometimes it was more than that.

the 2008 0-16 Lions were literally the worst team in history and 6 games were one scores.

point being….close doesn’t mean dog poo in the nfl. all games are more or less close in the grand scheme of things. even the greatest coaches of all time don’t average an eye popping winning %.

who cares if Rhule ‘comes close’ it doesn’t mean poo and never will

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
