Rhule had good drafts? 

We haven’t had a “good” draft since 2017, but Rhule didn’t completely fug up a draft and put us multiple years behind with a single trade and incorrect QB.

Anyway, I was making that point because that guy was basically trying to act like 2023 was going to be a great draft because we were making moves without Rhule. Oops!

This was only posted in this thread because @CRAwas wanting a Matt Rhule GIF.  

But yeah Fitt sucked as well, I think everyone agrees on that at this point.

the Matt Rhule shrug gif is the best thing any actual Panther HC(I don't include interims) has done for us since Ron was fired.  And now I can't find one that is huddle compatible

I think you are missing my point. I know why you posted that. I was laughing at Goaty_Szn throwing shade on Rhule in March of 2023 as if we were making great moves. In reality, we made enough moves to be the worst team in the league and make us long for the Rhule, Marty and Teddy.

I think the most competitive team we have fielded in the Tepper era....was actually the Matt Rhule/Teddy Panthers.   Most would I think would say Steve Wilks...but reality is Wilks was limited to only playing 1970s era ball against bad teams.   They were matchup specific in terms of being competitive. 

That 2020 couldn't close the deal but they were pretty competitive all season long and was the best offense in the Tepper era.   And that featured a green OC who didn't even drill redzone and a checkdown QB.

It’s also his most recent team. The further away we got from the Ron years, the worse we became.

Yeah the 2020 team lost 8 games by a touchdown or less. They were even somewhat competitive in early 2021.  After the Washington game loss during Cam's homecoming the Rhule era collapsed.

I think the biggest issue for David Tepper.....is his best offensive draft pick to date.....is an average, RB by committee caliber RB.  As in, he is backup RB in the NFL. 

If that's your best offensive draft pick in a half decade.....your team is going to fail.

I would say Brady Christensen is actually our best offensive pick, which is almost as sad.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
