Rhule Needs to Finish the Year/ Baker Needs to be the Next Clausen

Lions will destroy us. Steelers will be Kenny’s breakout game and they will beat us too. 

I hope so, the fact it’s us, the lions and Steelers with the top 3 picks had me concerned we will mess up and beat one of them. I’m not that concerned with the Steelers because if they get the no 1 pick I don’t see them taking another QB, but the Lions def would

If the Steelers end up with the #1 pick this year starting Pickett the rest of the way, I'd bet my entire life savings that they draft a new QB and trade Pickett for whatever they could get for him.

i literally cannot watch another matt rhule game. i sat through every fuging loss of the 2010 season and it was infinitely easier than this. i honestly don't think i can make it through next week if we don't have a new coach to give me some kind of hope.

I sat through all of those too, and the only thing that made it worthwhile was that #1 pick

Myself and others have mentioned that Rhule and Baker give us the best chance at #1 overall. I honestly do not want any coaching or personnel change that would affect that possibility.

I may take a few games off from watching because the misery is only funny to a point. I will probably work on Sundays or do other things. I suggest people also find another hobby on Sundays.

It is a sacrifice we need to make now. The season over 1/4 over anyways.

Problem is there is no Cam waiting.

It is definitely time to give up on the season. 1-4 teams don't make the playoffs, and interim coaches rarely ever stick. We also need a new QB. How exactly are we going to get one without the draft? No more FA QBs please

So you want fans to accept you're trying to lose the next 12 games? I don't think that's a good idea. And the whole tanking thing rarely works anyway. QB success is more dependent on the dynamics of the team that drafts them than when they're drafted. 

Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold were drafted ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Mitch Trubisky went ahead of Mahomes and Watson.

That's the whole point I am trying to make. This season is a wash anyways

Agree there's little to no chance this team goes to the playoffs - though I'll argue the division isn't all that strong right now. 

The offense needs to find an identity. The right players need to find time on the field in the right positions to succeed. That's how talent is developed. This team has a culture of losing. You can't continue to cultivate that culture and then expect it all to change because you drafted a 22 year old QB with no NFL experience. That DOES NOT work.

    • 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.
