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.

      Canales' O - Year 2

      By strato · Posted

      Tell me something I don’t know. I said right there in what you quoted I wasn’t optimistic. I said I could still be hopeful. Which ain’t the same but will have to do.  I have optimism regarding more compartmentalization aspects of the team. Some players. The good draft we had is cause for optimism. Maybe that Tepper is actually being less harmful. Maybe.  I had some for Canales but his meter is about 50% right now with me.  Etc

      Canes vs Ducks 7pm

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Got a little more juice in us this period. Gotta get these chances to start falling. Ducks and us keep getting these chippies that are missing. First team to start banging these in and I think the floodgates open.

      S Fowler Coker in, Legette out as wr2

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      The things that make people give up on him is that he is getting worse in terms of simple football things and he isn't improving on much in terms of being a WR. He has improved his drops but then he has increased his insanely boneheaded penalties. I mean, the dude has THREE false start penalties. That is the second most on the team.  Couple that with his obvious limitations in terms of field vision, agility, etc and you just start to wonder what there really is to even believe in. I'll put it this way, when such a notoriously terrible personnel management coach like Canales gives up on you, that's saying a lot. He has ridden more bums for longer than any of us care to remember.
