Expectations for the Carolina Panthers were low this season. Yet they're still one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL.
"I hope you guys understand, I'm here to talk about the game," Rhule said."I've always been very forthright with you guys. I have nothing to say about that now. Really just here to just talk about the game today. I would never want to make this about me."
It's a tough spot for Rhule, who knows the drill. The business of football is hyper-focused on results, and two-plus seasons into his tenure, the Panthers have shown no signs of progress. They recorded five wins in his first season, five wins in 2021 and are on pace to fall short of the total this season with another last-place finish in a bad NFC South. Five weeks into the season, Rhule's seat is scorching hot.
He's not getting much help from quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was acquired this offseason as an alleged upgrade over Sam Darnold. So far, he's been anything but. Mayfield entered Sunday with a career-worst 54.7% completion percentage while throwing 4 touchdowns and three interceptions with 186.8 passing yards per game. Sunday's line against the 49ers: 20-for-36 for 215 yards with zero touchdowns and an interception the 49ers returned for a touchdown. These are not numbers befitting an NFL quarterback.
Mayfield was likewise asked about his job security on Sunday. He didn't appear to appreciate the question.His response: “Did you question my job?”
