 I think Darnold was supposed to be Rhule's "Developmental young QB", "he was the same age as the guys in the draft, he just needs a new environment", etc..

Hell, that might have made sense if we'd have had a real "QB guru" type on staff.

We had Joe Brady and Sean Ryan.

This part is interesting, I do remember there being a lot of questioning why he waited through the bye week to fire Brady, when he could have given his new OC another full week to prepare for the transition. 

Also, I wonder how Brady felt, working all week to hopefully improve the offense, just for your boss to get back from taking his vacation and can you lol.

I remember that too, and the more that comes out, I'm shifting from believing he just didn't know to that he actually just didn't care.

This part interests me...

Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer has said the best plan with quarterbacks is to draft and develop one. But under Rhule, the Panthers continued to reach, hoping they would hit on a franchise leader through free agency or a trade.

We had heard that there was debate last year among team leadership regarding drafting a quarterback. Most of us interpreted that as Tepper wanting to go the draft route with Justin Fields but Rhule and Fitterer being against it.

I'm now wondering if Fitterer might have wanted to draft a QB. Maybe Fields, maybe someone else, but a QB either way.

We dodged a bullet on Fields. He's not developing well in Chicago, he'd have done even worse here.

You really need a proved OC and QB coach on hand BEFORE you even evaluate draftable QBs. Or even try to pick up a veteran, I guess. We haven't had those guys in quite some time.

So Rhule was great at the relational side of things but bad at the Xs and Os.

Perfect college head coach.

BTW…That kinda describes Wilks as well.

Heck, you can win with that if  the head coach knows how to pick the right guys for his staff.

Rhule obviously didn't.

I don’t see any modern examples of coaches that like that who can sustain success. Good staff always leave.

The best head coaches in recent memory have always been really good coordinators. X and O guys.

Wilks is not that guy.

I mean regardless of what you think of Joe Brady.  It’s a bad look in-house. 

Rhule was called on it at the time.  And his justification was such painful bullshit.  Basically an extra week of prep time doesn’t help anyone lol.

Well, with The Process, an extra week probably doesn't matter.  Or month for that matter.  Or year.

Rhule was basically nothing but a BS artist.  Tepper got into this mess by listening to another BS artist tell him he had to jump at the chance to hire this BS artist.  He wasn't savvy enough to realize the entire situation.

I guess he didn't understand that when you take the job of being an NFL HC, your life basically is put on hold between July and January.  That is the price of the job.  All the BSing in the world doesn't alter that much.

I'm only saying it's possible.

Anymore it's neither common, nor preferred, and it's definitely not what I'd want here.

I disagree with the notion that Wilks isn't a good Xs and Os guy though.

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

      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.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
