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

No I think they've already accepted the fact there will be a new staff next season.  Although no player will ever eluded to that fact.

I'd wonder how many of these players were shocked to come to training camp and find Rhule still head coach after the last season. No surprise they'd be accepting of moving on, probably were already there last February.

This team has a couple good players several average  players and a bunch of players that are 2nd-3rd string if they were on another nfl team. Add in the fact our head coach is an idiot  it’s a recipe for disaster. 
This seasons a wash hopefully it ends the era of rhule

Sounds eerily like Cam taking all the slings and spears for MoRon all those years.

I think some players just know to just fall on the sword and say the diplomatic thing. He's going corporate answer versus the obvious look on DJ Moore's face or the diplomatic answer by Moton that was also accompanied by a clearly perturbed look on his face.

For DJ, it's very clear he is having a difficult time bearing the brunt of questions about issues that are almost entirely not his fault. It was written all over his face and demeanor.

Simple checklist...

Can defense consistently get turnovers, tackles for loss, and stops on 3rd down? No.

Can the QB produce at least 30% GWD? No.

Can the receivers produce 5 big plays per game and catch 60% of their passes? No.

Can the OL allow the QB and RB to be patient behind the LoS and develop plays to control the clock? No.

Has the HC been able to put their players in close games and make the calls to win more than 50% of those close games? No.

That's the. Checklist to be a champion.

Coaches like McVay and Bill Walsh prepared their players for championship situations, put their team in a game winning position, and made the key calls/direction to tap into that preparation while making it simple on star players.

The catch where Montana throws the ball to Clark for the game winning TD was prepared and Walsh told Montana exactly where and how to throw it before they huddled up to call the play.

If players are better than the other team, then they blow them out like a college game. If it's a close game and the game comes down to the final drive, then the play calling and preparation have a greater impact than the even level of talent on the field.

    • 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.
