CMC - Bad football is not being coached, it's the players.


Recommended Posts

Interesting feedback from CMC

Source: https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/2440479/amp

Excerpt:

Still, Rhule believes he can beat the odds.

“We have good players and I trust our players,” Rhule said. “I think we need to make more plays on offense. Our defense is playing well, our special teams is playing well and our offensive line is playing well.”

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey said players are “absolutely” behind Rhule.

“Each player on this team, we have high accountability,” McCaffrey said. “The matter of fact is we haven't been good enough. I'm in the meetings, and I know what's being coached. Bad football is not being coached.

When asked if he’s seen that accountability across the locker room, McCaffrey responded, “We’re getting it fixed.”

McCaffrey, one of the team's captains, said it's up to the players to turn things around and change the losing mentality.

“We have to make the plays when our numbers are called,” McCaffrey said. “And that's not happening right now. We have extreme urgency to get it done.”

What did we think CMC, any team captain, or almost any player was going to say: we are capable of playing better football, but our effing coaching staff is like the Keystone Kops in every phase, and we can’t do enough to overcome that?

It would probably be true, but not something I would expect anybody to say at this point.

just my unpopular option but I think it’s all of the above, the roster is not talented enough. however that is a result of coaching. You see, the players simply aren’t good enough to play good football, it’s not accountability and it’s not a choice and Rhule put this team together.

this team is trash. outside of a few players the team Rhule built is not good enough to compete in the league. it’s obvious. and his high school antics will not resonate with these guys, who aren’t  good enough anyways. It’s a lose lose.

If Robbie Anderson was consistent and not sucking off Rhule for getting him his big $ for being a Temple alum, he’d be trashing the coaches.

It doesn’t have to be bad to get roasted in the NFL.

It has to be good enough to beat the best of the best.  Every team is good.  It’s the ones that do it better, win.

It might not be “bad football” but I can guaran-damn-tee it ain’t NFL level good.

This Kool-Aid sucks.

    • 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.
