Seifert had the team looking decent in his 1st 2 years with Steve Beurlein at QB.  It was time to move on, but Chris Weinke was a terrible replacement.  Seifert wasn't a good coach, but I don't think he was awful either.

Beat me to it.  Seifert thought he needed to upgrade from Beuerlein when Steve wasn't the problem.  The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Seifert was bad but he wasn't arrogant about it like Rhule. The arrogance in the face of everything a fan could see on the field every game was just mind numbing. Repeated bone head decision after bone head decision. We went from Cam to T2G to Darnold to PJ sorta to Cam2.0 to Baker to whatever the fug this is now. Holy fuging poo show.

This one is tough because this season seems so awful, but that Siefert Weinke combo is the only time I actively disliked the team. I think Rhule and Baker were trending that way but since we cut ties early it won't get to that point. As others have pointed out we were at least competitive at times during Seifert but he was so unlikeable as a person it makes this a tough one.

This thread is going to be full of recency bias. 

Watching that Seifert coached NFL team was tough to sit through. My dad had a suite during that period of time, that came with tickets in the 307 section. I always preferred to be outside rather than the box...  I showed up to every home game saying to myself "this is the game we win..." and it never happened. Seifert just didnt give a fug, he rode his 49ers pedigree and drove the franchise into the ground. He got progressively worse each season that went by... 3 years here as well... 

That nut had announced he would be back for another season at his presser and then was fired the next morning. For good reason. 

As bad as Seirert was Rhule was worse. 

Rhule never won big in college nor the NFL. His only accomplishment was rebuilding shitty small college teams to play mediocre. 

Not to mention Steve Beuerlein had good numbers and threw for over 3000 yards back when QBs didn't have it easy. Moose had over 1000 yards and we rushed for 600+ yards that same year. Our defense caused 38 turnovers that year as well. Those are respectable numbers even though they didn't produce wins. Not to mention we were 3rd in the NFC west in 2000. 2001 was more about losing Beuerlein more than anything else. 

3 years of Rhule was all about Rhule. We never had a jump in stats no matter who played where and no matter who was QB.

Ditching Steve Beuerlein for Jeff Lewis was Seifert's fatal error.

That strongly resembled a Rhule move. However Rhule is in his own class among the worst coaches in NFL history. He’s only better than a handful of coaches on the Hue Jackson and Rod Marinelli tier.

Seifert chose to replace him with Jeff Lewis. Seifert traded a 3rd and a 4th for Lewis. Seifert was making Rhule type of decision while Rhule was in college.

Yes but he still had better numbers. I mean we are talking about two suck ass coaches so they are going to do dumb poo. Rhules dumb poo was just worse overall. We were not competitive in any year under him.

The only way I change my stance on this is if two years after the Rhule regimen we have a completely different roster and still not competitive. The only thing Seifert has going for him in my eyes is the draft he had in 2001.

So you're just going to ignore stats and proof that Matt Rhule sucked more? I didn't realize you simped for Rhule that much.

Dude, why are you after my opinion like that? I shared why Seifert was the worst coach in Panthers history from my point of view. I had emotional attachment to the entirety of his tenure.

Just bc you and I have different perspectives about shitty coaches doesnt mean anyone is "simping." Whatever that means.

While recency bias tends to definitely have an effect on our perspective, see below.

Yes. The team was competitive in 2001, they just couldnt come up with the W`s. This is the worst team next to 2010.

This.  And Seifert had a background and history working with one of the best coaches in league history before coming here, as well as professional players as a professional coach.  Even the 1-15 season, we were so effing close.  It was just so many heartbreaking losses coming down to the last drive or last play from what I remember.  We were competitive.  

Under Rhule, we got worse each season...  we regressed and not just by a little bit.  The fact we knew if the opponent scored 17, we were going to lose is about as hopeless as it gets.  He was horrible.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
