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?

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
