The Tailgate

I can't, I just fucking can't with this god damn team anymore. I do not think it's a stretch in saying they are the most poorly run organization in the NFL. Ever since David Tepper has bought the team after the NFL forced Jerry Richardson to sell the team, it has been just one shit move after another. First we let go of Ron Rivera, who wasn't having the best season at the time......but the guy took us to a Super bowl, won 4 division titles and is just a good dude. Then we hire unproven Matt Rhule to a 7 year contract for $62 million, some proven coaches don't get that much. Then they sign young stud offensive coordinator Joe Brady from the the National Champions of LSU. I loved this hire to be honest but then we gave Joe Brady no tools to work with at all. What the fuck is an offensive coordinator supposed to do when you give him Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold and Cam Newtown(who is clearly at the end of his career). Let's rewind for a second and point out the fact that we traded for Sam Darnold.....not signed him because he was a free agent but gave up draft picks to get Sam fucking Darnold. Darnold has a career passer rating of just over 70 and has thrown 54 touchdowns and 52 interceptions in his first 4 seasons. To say the least, Darnold is not good....not good at all. So then we fire Joe Brady, who I'm assuming will probably become a head coach in the NFL one day and shove it right up Carolina's ass at some point. Then we sign Cam Newton, sure it was cool for nostalgia purposes but we all knew it wasn't going to be the 2015 MVP Cam that we all fell in love with. Cam was just bad after his first jolt of energy to the starting roster, he had 4 passing TD'S and 5 interceptions. To be honest it was and is sad seeing Cam end his career this way, it's a tough look for the former MVP. Before I get to Matt Rhule, who I feel is the biggest problem with this team, first let me talk about our owner David Tepper. Jerry Richardson was a rich football guy who owned a football team and now David Tepper is just a rich guy who owns a football team. The problem with Tepper is he's a fan first and doesn't actually know the first thing about football and it shows day in and day out. It came out that he was "unhappy and embarrassed" about signing Rhule to a 7 year deal, then a month later he stated he had tremendous support for Rhule. What the fuck are we doing? Honestly what are we doing?! Matt Rhule has blamed everyone else for the failure of this team, except himself. He had continually thrown Cam Newton under the bus, presser after presser. He's fired multiple coaches and said things like "It wasn't working and we had to make a change". We hired Rhule without a general manager being in place yet, which was a bad start to begin with. Again like I stated he throws players under the bus every week and can never just admit that he was the one who fucked up......it's always everyone else's fault but Matt Rhule. Now we get to the hiring of Ben McAdoo, who has been a tremendous bust as a coach and offensive coordinator, especially during his time in New York. I'm not sure, maybe McAdoo will just be another scapegoat for Rhule when the offense still can't get going. The thing is this team has talent on both sides of the ball, sure they're not close to winning a Super Bowl anytime soon but shit the compete level should be better than this. This team should really be blown up started with the head coach then maybe finally going out and getting a real NFL QB. I don't know what the next move is for the Panthers but it looks like things are going to get much worse before it gets any better. So buckle up panthers fans, it's gonna be one hell of a shitty ride.
