That list certainly reeks of serious recency bias.

yeah they need to specify that it's the modern era. in the 50s you'd have owners fire the coaches and run things themselves not infrequently.

that said it's pretty hard to argue against urban. Every moment of his coaching tenure was hysterical. im sure its exaggerated i still laugh when I think about him asking if they could just also get kyle pitts in the draft and was completely sincere about the question.

Rhule lost to Joe Judge and had a worse overall record coaching than Both him and Patricia:

  • Rhule -.289
  • Judge - .303
  • Patricia - .314

Not to mention the 7 year contract which makes it 10x worse

LoL you all are just looking at records & fail to realize or mention in 2001 draft George Seifert drafted Dan Morgan in the 1st round & Kris Jenkins in the 2nd round & Steve Smith Sr. in the 3rd round ...just saying

we actually don't know who drafted who. the panthers had a weird FO structure 2001 between Hurney, Jack Bushofsky, Mark Richardson, and Seifert. Hurney was the Director of Football Operations. They didn't have anyone with the title of General Manager. Bushofsky retired after 2003, Seifert was fired and Richardson...well.

At the time Jenkins was considered a reach and didn't really do much during his rookie year. He could barely stay on the field. Everyone thought he was just fat, but it turned out he actually had undiagnosed sleep apnea. He got a cpap after his rookie year and then was maybe the best defender in the NFL for two years before he started blowing out his knees. Also how can you forget Panthers legend Chris Weinke who was also in that 2001 draft. Panthers were undefeated in 2001 before 9/11, just saying. 

Anyway, we'll never know for sure who made what decision and how the power was distributed. Based on how things shook out over the next couple seasons, I'd suspect Hurney had more of a say than anyone else in that draft. He earned a lot of goodwill with that Super Bowl and a LOT of rope with Richardson.

Seifert had a good 1st year rebuild and had a decent 2nd season with all the injuries and internal coaching drama. 2001 was an implosion from the injuries, coaching drama and the Jeff Lewis investment.

Imagine Patrick Jeffers, Muhsin Muhammad, Steve Smith, Wesley Walls, Tim Biakabatuka and William Floyd if they were to stay healthy with a solid QB. Dameyune Craig was the best option at QB in 2001, but he was before his time.

Seifert was competitive even during his 1-15 season like 7 games or something was decided by 6 pts or less. Our offense in 1999 was one of the best we have ever had. 

Reich wasn’t a great hire, but was at the mercy of Bryce last year. Chances are with Andy, Reich was 3-8 or 4-7 not 1-10. 
 

Rhule’s first season helped him off the list. We weren’t as bad as we are now that year and a lost a few close games. Whatever he was building, plummeted in 2021.
 

I miss 2020. We played the 1 seeds in both conferences and had a chance to win both games. We are so far from that now. Heck, 3-4 games into 2021 and this forum was discussing the potential seeding and playoff bye weeks. We threw the playoffs out the door on Young’s first pass, lol.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
