"shock the world"

 

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.

I wonder who in the building couldn't wait to leak this garbage mission statement to Jones. In the end, Rhule was not "OOU"

My guess is Steve Drummond is JJ’s source. I imagine they developed a good working relationship when JJ was with the Observer and Drummond was the Comms guy

Why the fug did this not come out sooner? Like the urban meyer crap last year. Also is Tepper really this absent or did he believe this is truly how you coach an NFL team? 


I’m surprised things didn’t leak sooner, but I understand it. Folks don’t want to lose their job and potentially be blackballed in the league. As bad as Rhule’s situation was it wasn’t nearly as toxic as Urbs.

But again, you could see how dysfunctional it was from the outside which is what makes it so much more insane that Tepper let it stretch on for as long as he did.  Even the "DBO" poo...  it was clear he was trying to implement that and emphasize it as part of our culture but then quickly saw, not even after camp, but during camp, how ill-received it was and abandoned it.  Then you see the details behind it, like this and it's just incredible it went on for as long as it did.  

Anyone of us could walk in that building and do the exact stuff he did, and in fact, I believe some here with their football knowledge, would actually produce more wins and a better culture...  point being, all that rah-rah poo means jackshit if there is no substance behind it.  It's like he went hunting and came back with the game's skeleton but never explained to anyone where the meat was.  poo just doesn't work and the more you implement poo and then abandon it, the more people will lsee you for the buffoon you are.

This stuff reads like any bad sales manager I’ve ever had. Most often the people in charge of leading other people have zero clue on how to actually do it and generate results. 
 

They often mask their insecurities by regurgitating the “tried and true” sales method philosophies that have failed miserably dating back long before them. 
 

You want a good head coach?  Get someone who relates to the players, someone who knows how they think and why they think that way. That someone is Demeco Ryans.

The only difference I'm seeing is the physical assault and publicly threatening jobs aspect...  but aside from those, Rhule actually seemed to be more toxic IMO, and the environment he created and fostered was able to fester for a lot longer.  We knew it was bad, but the fact this went on for two and a half years is insane.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
