All of my ire is on Tepper. Rhule was put in a position he wasn't prepared for or ready for. He failed miserably but he'll I told y'all that was probably gonna happen from the get go. 😂

This. There's not a chance anyone here would turn down life-altering money from a billionaire determined to give it to you.

Anyway, I'm personally happy for him. The NFL wasn't for him, and Rhule did unequivocally fail at the QB position. He also failed at surrounding himself with coaches with NFL experience early on.

However, there are some revisionists here that won't give him credit for anything. Objectively, the Panthers had the worst roster in the NFL when Rhule took over. And now, outside of QB (although it obviously is the most important position), this roster is in much better shape. To the point where this team is in playoff contention with even close to average QB play.

My historical comparison I hope holds is the Sefiert to Fox transition. Seifert came in with a lot of fanfare and was an utter failure like Rhule in many respects, but in retrospect Seifert's roster building and drafts, especially the last (Morgan, Jenkins, Smith) really set the team up for success under a better coach in Fox.

Regardless, this chapter is over. Maybe its the homer in me, but I do hope there is something positive that comes out of this for both sides. 

And Tepper isn't going to miss the money one way or the other.

Can't wait to see their fans melt down in three seasons when they haven't turned it around.

probably would have been easier to have "success" at Colorado, especially with USC and UCLA joining the big 10.

Easier conference, recruiting territories don't really matter anymore, a winning record gets him a statue built. Plus he's already resurrected one program that was destroyed by rampant sexual abuse scandals. 

Rhule's bullshit church youth group thing will go over well at Nebraska though, that might buy him some time.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By frankw · Posted

      PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Also, this post is EXACTLY what I wanted to move on from Bryce this offseason and sign Jameis. Because he'd be slinging the ball all over the field and it would expedite the growth of all our young pass catchers, which to me, regardless of our record, would have made for a "winning" season.  We all want our long term franchise QB, but if you can't get that, expediting the improvement of the rest of your roster is a solid consolation prize given the state of our franchise.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By Icege · Posted

      You are correct that context matters. Let's look at the timing of those six (I accidentally counted one of Etienne's previously) runs of 10+ 11-yd run | Q2 10:43 (0 - 17) 14-yd run | Q2 9:49 (0 - 17) 25-yd run | Q2 1:47 (7 - 17) 53-yd run | Q3 14:53 (13 - 17) 43-yd run | Q4 9:09 (20 - 17) 16-yd run | Q4 4:31 (27 - 24) Q1 the offense basically walked onto the field and then immediately off thanks to Bryce's turnovers, but that's the only quarter that Dowdle didn't rip off a 10+ yard run. I think that's also where folks are basing most of their frustration... because Q1 was straight cheeks. By the half though, it was 10 - 17 with the Panthers set to get the ball to start the half. That's not a situation to get desperate and start flinging it everywhere. Though not exactly related to the topic, I do have to give Evero credit where credit is due. There were halftime adjustments made that resulted in the Dolphins not being able to mindlessly abuse the defense over the middle. That's not even mentioning how they completely stuffed the Miami run game in the second half as well.
