They played with a lot of heart and energy today and could be seen hugging and patting Rhule on the back all game. That to me is encouraging that they haven't quit on him. I know many on here want us to lose every game, even though it is only week 3, but I want to win. I don't care who the coach is as long as we are winning. Yes, Saints played like ass, but we made big plays at big moments. I personally would rather see us continue this success, than hope for losses. That's just me. 

Why haven’t they done it for the first 2 games much less the last 2 seasons. I don’t buy it.

If they are happy with a losing coach, have at it. Either winning is the most important thing or it's not. Apparently winning matters less than loving your coach.

I don't doubt the players love playing for him. Again, I don't think that ultimately matters. The goal is winning. 

People loved playing for Jeff Fisher too. But he was a losing coach who had a job much longer than he should have. 

If a team isn't winning with a coach after a couple years, they have the wrong coach....imo. and my opinion is based on the idea that winning matters much more than anything else.

If his players like playing for them and we're still waiting for them to start executing going into his third season....then that's another huge red flag. 

Something isn't right there. Something hasn't been right. At this point I don't expect it to get right, not by this coach anyways. He just doesn't seem to be able to make it right. They might like him, but he's not helping the win. He's not getting them there. That's his job and he's not doing it. Not well enough.

Fair points

By not being as good at his job as the opposing coach was.

(it's not really that difficult to understand)

And we already had the "close" discussion. You don't keep your job by being close, but if you look at the last several games, we're not really "close" to anything but the bottom of the league.

Technically we’re second in the NFC South. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact.

Just a heads up… the jaguars had the largest roster turnover of any team this past offseason 🙂

Oh yeah, I'm sure the likes of Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram, and Zay Jones additions really made them start looking like an NFL football team. They're still the Jags. You think Urban Meyer would have them looking like that with the same roster? Trevor Lawrence looked like a bust under Urban. That same QB has a 6:1 TD to int ratio with almost a 70% completion to start the year. Sounds like better coaching to me.

I don’t disagree. But it was stated it was basically the same roster. The jaguars lost about 4-5 starters from last year on both side of the ball. It’s not the same roster. The upgraded in a lot of ways.

So you're telling me a good coach + a good offseason can turn things around quickly? That it doesn't take multiple years to start looking decent again? For the record, I can't believe Doug Pederson (a freakin former recent superbowl winning coach) wasn't on our radar. It just stings seeing all these new HCs have early success, ESPECIALLY Mike McDaniel who a lot of us wanted after we fired Rhule (which never happened).

And a generational qb doesn't hurt

I feel like you are leaving out the most important thing… a franchise qb. Unless you are doing that on purpose to attempt to make a point?

Well, if you really want to brag about something like that after Week 3, maybe you should say we're undefeated against divisional opponents 😆

I' d probably wait until we see how these things play out before crowing too much though, but that's just me.

(granted, you might not get too many chances to do this sort of thing if you wait)

A franchise QB doesn't mean sh*t if the coaching isn't there. See Cam, Herbert, Murray, Dak, etc. Then I see teams that have had success with no franchise QB because of good coaching; 49ers, Titans, Rams with Goff, etc. And I'm sorry, I didn't know Tua has all of a sudden become a franchise QB even though last year pretty much all Miami fans were ready to move on from him. LIKE I SAID, it's funny how a coaching change + a good offseason can change things around quickly huh?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
