Will just firing Rhule do it? Firing Rhule and the OC do it? Is the base lost and will take years to recover?

Will winning bring them back or has the damage been done? How do they pull the bandage off and let the wounds heal? 

Twenty fifteen was a magical season and we are light years away from that energy.

Is the fanbase done with this farse for good?

Came here to post something similar. If this team was 4-1 and the team looked good, the fanbase would be excited, the stadium would be full of fans….it would be a whole different vibe.

Unfortunately the Panthers are a miserable 23-47 since Tepper bought the team, and 11-27 under his handpicked head coach. 

No quicker way to kill an already fickle and fair weather fan base than a stubborn owner holding onto a wildly unqualified head coach for longer than he reasonably should.

Like the other guy said, winning fixes everything. People forget about dumb mistakes and the past. People don’t pay attention to the small things and distractions. Winning pulls teams and fans together.

A young energetic coach with a clear well defined plan (not some vague process nonsense) and seeing said plan come to fruition whether that’s taking Will Anderson and getting a Jimmy G for a year or Stroud/Young and building around them. If the jets and browns fans can endure than so can I. I understand why some won’t ever be passionate again but at the end of the day I’m a huge Panthers fan and I WANT to support my team but I’m not gonna spend my hard earned money anymore until we have a clear direction.

Put a good product on the field and folks will watch it.

Call them basement dwellers while you serve turd burgers and poo shakes and you’ll have what we have now.

I don’t see how firing Rhule will fill more seats. Wilks isn’t going to fix our bumbling stumbling offense so you can still expect losses to pile up. 
 

Maybe people will get excited knowing that we might finally get a legit HC, but you have to remember Tepper will be heading that… again.

This is the most basic thing to do. But that may not happen this season.

Instead, Wilks is going to have to concentrate on developing that team identity.  While Rhule is gone, will Snow follow him?  Will we need a new DC as well?

We have a LOT of questions to answer as we move forward.  I have no idea what will happen, but it's something.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
