Matt Rhule is right though, we are so freakin close, if Baker and this offense could just start clicking, we would be unstoppable.

Lmao I can’t imagine choosing to be this miserable after our first win in 9 games but hey man do you. 

After an n of 35 with Rhule to date, one middling win against a team with a broken QB ain't it. Also, being objective does not equate to being miserable.

This is literally OP's post. You could post this after every loss and it would remain the same. 

I suppose this is ultimately delusions of grandeur.

Or delusions of competence, at least...

I can't believe we have people riding a Matt Rhule hype train.

Do people really see him blossoming into the kind of coach that can win championships in the NFL?

But for us in particular it’s the difference between bottom dwellers and contenders. Literally the only thing this team is missing is a passing game. 
 

special teams? Check. Great D? Check. Reliable kicker? Check. Stout and reliable running game? Check. 
 

we wouldn’t even need an elite passing game, if we could simply just become an average passing team, that would be enough with our D and run game. We don’t need baker to be Brady or rodgers, if he could simply be a Kirk Cousins, that’s all we would need from him.

We don’t have a great D, our defense was giving up a lot of big plays, the only reason why we weren’t getting destroyed is because Winston was injured and kept missing passes. Without the turnovers and missed field goals the defense would had been average. If they played an above average QB we would have been destroyed. We don’t have a solid run game either, we have CMC and that’s it. Our offense sucks, our offensive line while maybe not giving up a lot of sacks isn’t giving our qb a lot of time to throw. Our WRs are dropping passes all the time and our play calling isn’t that good.

Panthers just played three teams so far that have shown horrible offensive execution in the games they played against Carolina.......

If Carolina is "close" at all ......then they are close to mediocre and that's it.

The kind of game they played against the Saint to win this past weekend would get them blasted out of the stadium at half time against a team that have a good offense.

plus subtract the gifted 6 from the D, which is not normal, and I am convinced we would have lost that game...

Only took a defensive TD to score an average amount of points.  The process is truly working.

Our defense has a few of those type games per season like yesterday where they simply dominate.  For whatever reason, it comes and goes. 

If the Rhuleaid drinkers think our defense is going to look like that every game the rest of the year, then the poison has already taken affect.  Granted the offense probably won't look as bad, but they aren't turning into a well-oiled machine that the defense can appear to be from time-to-time.

    • 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.
