I still can't believe there were a few people defending Rhule all the up to that 49ers game.  I'm not sure if they were just homers that don't like people in this organization bad-mouthed or if they really thought Rhule was a decent coach.  Either way, it was painfully obvious to the other 99% of the Huddle that Rhule was a joke.  Dude would crush it on a used car lot!

I know there are some folks who like taking up unpopular positions just to be a--holes.

Find that kinda stupid myself but hey...

Also the people that were on the "It doesn't matter at this point, we're going to lose either way" train. Borderline cruel to not want a less toxic environment for the players and staff for the rest of the year.

Looking at this roster, this coaching staff and the qb's on this team in the preseason and not seeing a complete trainwreck is on you.  Anyone with a brain could see this happening.   All the optimism in the world,  all the unicorns and rainbows, all the supposed fandom wasnt going to change reality.  This was (another) wasted year from the jump.

Was Pepsi still the official soft drink of the Panthers at the time?

I do think it's odd that we did had Pepsi (originated in Goldsboro NC) then switch to Coca-Cola (originated in Atlanta... home of the crows...er Falcons).

I never liked the guy and now I like him even less. Holy shite there it is, a peak behind the curtain of stupid. 

If I was a kid and this guy got hired at my school I would transfer.

I hope Tepper learned because if he comes near that BS again from any employee he should tell them to go fug themselves and not look back.

I said it from the beginning. Rhule reminds me of Butch Jones and the way he ran things at UT. Lots of corny cliches and unicorns/rainbows, but no results on the field to show for it. Players eventually resent that kind of poo. I know for a fact the majority of UT players hated Botch. They’d both crush it together on a car lot.

    • 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.
