Biggest blunders of the NFL season

The Athletic chronicled this year's biggest NFL booboos, and I doubt the inclusion of this particular move will shock anyone...

Panthers sticking with Matt Rhule

Despite poor decisions on quarterback acquisitions and 23 losses in his first two seasons, Matt Rhule earned the vote of confidence entering Year 3. However, few — if any — around the league believed Panthers owner David Tepper was truly sold on Rhule.

The suspicions were justified when Rhule was fired after a 1-4 start. Then the Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey to San Francisco, signaling the start of a rebuild that could have commenced this past offseason had Tepper hit the reset button then.

Interim coach Steve Wilks now finds himself in a virtually impossible situation. And with the team spiraling further, he just fired two of Rhule’s former assistants, after two others got the axe in October when Rhule was dismissed.

Tepper did have to balance the patience dilema, and got him some NFL guys. Rhule just seemed to revert back to his horrible instincts as soon as football started, after spending all offseason convincing our handful of super optimists on here that he had turned the corner with a few cheesy press conferences.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
