So what was it about Rhule that these guys gushed about him?

Who gushed?

I can recall Burns and McCaffrey offering public defenses but I wouldn't have called that "gushing".

The closest you likely got to enthusiasm came from Temple/Baylor guys like Robbie Anderson and Colin Thompson. Nobody should take those guys seriously.

maybe. i just don't know what kind of impact they have on the players, but maybe what they bring as a guru will compensate for anything they lack as a "leader of men" compared to Wilks. 

whoever it is, though...i don't want a 7 year contract offered to them. 5 years max. 3 years ideal.

They are both able to lead and build from there background. My problem with Wilks is my problem with Rhule. While Wilks is a better leader, he's not a guru in any field. I would be willing to take a shot if we can't reel in better talent. Also and no, no coach deserves 7 years unless they have won us a SB.

The team is still losing and figuring out ways to lose. I’ll pass unless wilks gets us to 7 plus wins. 
 

2-6 at the moment.  1-2 under wilks. Still kinda like old ways. 

Oh come on

The team weve seen the last 2 weeks has been far more entertaining than the team that started this season

Wilks straight up went to McAdoo and told him him what BS wasn't working, 3 weeks later the offense looks NFL caliber. Not a giant leap but Wilks has owned the fact that he has gone into every position meeting room and giving his perspective. Rhule just hired/fired/benched/unbenched every possible move while micromanaging the social media team to try to get people to stop booing him. Rhule was not able to lead and knew nothing about football. Wilks is an incredible leader and at least has a defensive concept that is helpful to bounce off the OC

Many assholes on the front page of this thread. This franchise was very successful by NFL standards before the Rhule/Tepper mess. Yes there were bad years but two Super Bowls and 4 NFC championship games to go with 8 playoff appearances is good. I don’t know what y’all are expecting pre-2018 other than a super bowl but we have been right at the doorstep.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
