Stadium could be flat empty every week and NFL owners are still raking $$$ in.

Packed houses aren’t a money thing (though owners are glad to take the money), they’re an IMAGE thing.

True, the TV deals bring them in a ton of money. That being said, I imagine that Tepper (like most stupid rich people) is a narcissist and having an empty stadium or other team's fans taking up most of the stadium would have to be humiliating for him

There’s a healthy amount of players in that locker room that are employed because of Rhule so this isn’t surprising 

And we never hear the ones who actually matter support him or ever really see the direct interaction.

Can't tell you if I've ever even seen CMC or Chinn talking to Rhule.

Yanno, for a hot minute in the opening game, Robbie was killing it out there.

Since then, well, not so much.

Good ol' Robbie, he's reliably consistent.

 

When he caught that long bomb pass I thought,”Well there is Robbie’s contribution for the year.” 
He always seems to get on long catch per season and then nothing for the rest of the season.

I mean whatever is going on, there is certainly a toxic under current with what's happening with this franchise.  I think it comes from the top.  When the team goes around and starts wasting taxpayer money on projects that it bails out on, on top of a nine game losing streak and a 5 year playoff drought the fans should be pissed.  If you think the media and fans are going to excuse that along with losing....not gonna happen.

There are only two reasons that even remotely make sense for Tepper to keep Rhule.  The buyout being number one.  Secondly,  maybe you don't want to give off the vibe to the next coach that he will be fired after a season if he doesn't produce the results in the first year.  

Whatever the case may be, legit coaches don't need 3 years to turn around a franchise.  Every team has players.  The talent gap is not so big where we can't see marked improvement almost instantly with a new coach.  

With our previous two coaches we saw almost instant turnarounds.  In 2002 we started Rodney Peete and went 7-9 with a first year head coach and went to the Superbowl the following year.  With Ron we saw the team improve it's record the first year, then the playoffs, then a crescendo to a Superbowl.    

Long story short, because of the parody and the salary cap, a traditional long term "let's build the foundation" approach is archaic and a waste of time.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
