FYI

Team leadership has said this pretty consistently for a while now.

Ideally we hang on to him this season and see how the draft goes. He’d be a great piece to have for a rookie QB. 

The dead money hit we’d take would sting and I doubt we’d get a return good enough to make absorbing that blow worth it 

With that said he may never be healthy enough to get any offer for him so…

If the Panthers FO hasn't already contracted the dumbassery of Rhule and Tepper and can withstand Tepper demanding to trade CMC then he should be held on to at all costs. 

Yes, he was probably signed to a contract that now seems like we overpaid, but given his numbers and importance to our offense at the time we either had to pony up the money or try to go out and get the best return we could on him.  Trading him now for what people are saying would be at best a mid first round pick or possibly an early second and eating that salary would be foolish.

Keep CMC for hopefully our next franchise QB drafted next year.  Give that rookie the tools he needs to be successful.  We just need to do one thing:  keep losing.  I don't like it anymore than the rest of you, but every damn year we win meaningless games and just stalling any kind of progress that we could be making.  Rhule and company have to go and we have to suck.  It's the price we are paying for one man's pride...

Oh and don't freaking sign Ian Thomas to a contract that he should have never have gotten.  Also, no more college coaches unless it's Jim Harbaugh and even then I'd think twice.

What good new coach wants to come to an org that hasn’t won in a half decade, has no QB and no draft picks?  It will make us the default last pick IMO any good coach and they likely just wait another hiring cycle.  Where you go matters for not only player success but coaching success to.  You largely have about 3 years in this league to put up

Think McCaffery even in his current state is more appealing to a new coach than whatever draft picks they could get for him at this stage.

Seems like something is brewing

You can see the vultures circling. 

I wonder how many calls Rhule is getting from real estate agents that specialize in selling?

Off topic, but years ago the company I worked for brought in a "golden boy" to be a technical manager on our program.  He was not a technical person, but basically a BS artist.  To give you an idea, his solution to a program that was behind schedule and running over budget was to have twice-daily meetings with his software engineers.  Yeah, right, that'll solve it.  He took a couple of weeks of vacation, and when he came back there were 50 job applications, mostly for fast food restaurants, in his mail folder.  While he was out, whenever anybody would go out for lunch, they would pick up an application for him.

Rhule likely isn’t forfeiting that much money if he lands a good power 5 gig. Plus there is happiness and his entire future (more money) at play in the long run. 

Yeah, but Tepper wanted Rhule so damn bad I would almost guarantee you that there is no “offset” language in his contract.

Which would mean if Tepper fired him, Rhule would get the contractual payout on his Carolina contract *and* sign a fresh, new, full college contract afterwards.

I have run across a few of those types. For whatever reason, they still seem to get employed.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
