My issue is not with Haskins. He made mistakes as a young player and deserves a second chance.
My issue is that it's tough to line up a couple of statements, the first one being the obvious one that Rhule wants to build a specific culture/brand in the locker room and Haskins

doesn't seem to fit that equation and model.
Rhule says he wants guys that love to play the game, are tough-minded, want to come in early and outwork everyone else and Haskins is (reportedly) not someone that falls into that camp.
Maybe they want to meet him for themselves...

which makes sense since the questions are not on-field but personality/maturity.
The other thing that doesn't line up is Rhule saying emphatically that he doesn't want to be GM and make personnel moves, the Panthers not having a GM and them signing a quarterback.

I understand the idea that there's low risk in terms of salary cap, but the risk (to me) is that you build a situation where talent outweighs accountability.
A month ago they released a practice squad CB because he was seen making a bad decision and breaking COVID protocols.

Now because Haskins is a former-first round pick, has the pedigree, is more talented, he breaks the protocols and is worth kicking the tires on?
Sets a precedent that if you're talented enough, the rules don't apply to you, which seems to be the opposite of how Rhule wants to

build the team/locker room.
It seems like you're hand waving away a year of building to a certain type of locker room and going against that to bring in a guy that threw three picks in a half, including being picked off by Tahir Whitehead?
Just doesn't seem to line up.
