What does firing rhule 4,5,6 games into the season accomplish?  If it gets to the point where he is fired then the season is a waste anyway at that point

It keeps the fans that are ready to turn off the Panthers as long as you're owner. I know he gets profit share from the TV deals, but how much money are you losing on your own "brand" by continually backing a losing product? Fans aren't incensed because we're losing. We've been there before. We're incensed because we as fans are right more often than a professional HC. We're riding the worst losing streak in the NFL and told the process is working 1000% but we just can't see it. Comments like this just insult the intelligence of fans and drive them away.

I've never been convinced Rhule would be fired this season unless they looked as completely hopeless as late last year, and the staff looked totally clueless again as to what to do about it.  Any perceived progress may be enough for them to continue with "the process."

That would be largely because Tepper has no idea how the business of an NFL team runs.

The rational reason for Tepper to wait is to play a game of chicken with Rhule and see if he leaves on his own for a college job.  That saves him a ton of cash, which is not a deal breaker for him, but if he can save a few million by waiting, why not? 

But I am not convinced either of them has a clue about an NFL franchise.

The only reason I think tepper is patient is that he pulled a Stephen Ross and told rhule to lose the final 7 games last year for draft purposes. We did start throwing in the towel once we were a game away from elimination for playoffs.

what I find funny, is that is what fans want but when they get it… it’s the coaches fault fire him. Who knows what’s really happening.

Shitty situation for any coach who is asked to lose. It’s a lose-lose-lose situation.

I'd call that wishful thinking.

Rhule isn't losing deliberately. He's losing because he's in over his head.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
