Scary Scenario for Halloween season: If Rhule comes back next year what will you do?

What can we do but not watch. 🤷‍♂️

I've been in this mode for a very long time. I stopped getting upset a long time ago.  Now all I can do is laugh until I cry. But this level of suckage is beyond funny. It's just plain sad now.

This is, indeed, a scary point.

Somewhere in the INFINITE, existing, parallel universes, there's a David Tepper who NO MATTER WHAT keeps sticking with Matt Rhule, year after year, until Matt Rhule finally "gets it" and has a winning season.  For the simple reason that David Tepper would like to point to the low, dirty yokels and say "SEE!  I TOLD YOU SO!  I WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL!"

Let us all hope and pray that this particular universe is not our own.

Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports passes along, team owner David Tepper may be just fine waiting a year to see if Sean Payton entertains a return to coaching in 2023.

While an official Panthers spokesperson didn’t want to speculate, at the risk of tampering since Payton is technically under contract with the New Orleans Saints through 2024, this is an expected response.

 

“We would not talk to — or consider — a coach who’s under contract with another team.”

Carolina Panthers spokesperson on Sean Payton rumor

Back in January, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis mentioned he was prepared to negotiate with teams regarding a potential Sean Payton trade, but discussions didn’t appear to get far, as the asking price will be “significant”.

The cost for a Payton trade won’t suddenly go down in 2023 either, but maybe it’s a price the Panthers are willing to pay. For Payton, the chance to return to coaching in the NFC South, facing his old team twice per season might be the trigger that brings him back to the whistle.

I’m already fading as is, luckily fantasy football forces me to watch other competence clubs so I get enjoyment out of it but another year of rhule and I’m not watching unless I have one of our guys on my fantasy team.

I’ll always root for our players but it’s painful seeing them constantly put in bad positions.

i feel bad for every qb that’s played for rhule, he’s done zero favors for them, zero.

    • I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.    
    • Plays aren't designed to go to only one receiver. Qbs go through progressions for a reason. Primary or not the other routes are viable options.
    • Worst QB ever? No Worst QB to start for 4 straight seasons? Yes, and it isn't even close
