Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule made key changes to his staff on Tuesday afternoon by moving on from offensive line coach Pat Meyer, special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, and defensive line coach Frank Okam. How crucial is it for Rhule to nail the four staff openings on his staff?

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey has missed 23 out of the 33 games during the Rhule era. Should the Panthers trade CMC if given a serious offer? Does McCaffrey still have good days ahead of him? Julian Council explains why McCaffrey's injuries are more a product of bad luck than an injury-plagued player past his prime.

The Panthers defense finished the NFL season ranked No. 2 but has a few key free agents that they'll hope to re-sign in Donte Jackson and Haason Reddick. What does the future hold for these two players?

Following a 5-12 campaign and collapse down the stretch Matt Rhule appears to have survived to coach a third season in Carolina. Did David Tepper make the right decision in bringing back Rhule?

Sam Darnold was thought to be an upgrade at QB from Teddy Bridgewater. Instead, Darnold's New York struggles followed him to Carolina as he dealt with a lot of the same contributing factors that limited him with the Jets. Does Darnold deserve a chance to start for the Panthers in 2022?

Cam Newton has likely played his last snap for the Panthers. What does the future hold for the best player in franchise history? Is there potentially a role for him in Carolina?

The Carolina Panthers 2021 season mercifully came to an end Sunday afternoon as they finished the season by losing its seventh straight game finishing 5-12 overall. Thoughts on Matt Rhule neglecting to play Cam Newton as the goal line and Tony Romo's defense of Sam Darnold putrid season.

Reports from multiple NFL insiders suggest that Matt Rhule will be back for the 2022 season. Rhule will also begin interviewing OC candidates to replace Joe Brady. Could his job security be contingent upon who he hires?

After watching a once-promising season end in frustration in disappointment, where does the Panthers organization go from here?

Despite all of the issues and talk surrounding his job status, Rhule believes that his team hasn't quit on them. Is this reality true?

While the Panthers have crumbled when faced with adversity other NFL teams such as the Saints and Titans have been able to overcome. How much of this is attributed to coaching? Should this be enough to send Rhule packing?

What conditions should Rhule be back on? How must trust in the organization under Tepper should fans have?
