The sudden backlash from Carolina Panthers fans regarding what was the inevitable hiring of Ben McAdoo is somewhat understandable. He’s a not-so-new name with very little, if any, of that rockstar appeal and doesn’t exactly scream “progressiveness!”
But before you completely disparage and dismiss your new offensive coordinator, you may want to keep something quite relevant and important in mind.
Since his hiring, head coach Matt Rhule has bungled the quarterback position, time and time again. From rushing to sign to Teddy Bridgewater, to passing up on Justin Fields (or even Mac Jones), to investing a bevy of resources from 2022 into Sam Darnold—Carolina has been thrust into purgatory under center in very short and alarming order.
