Yeah but Sean Clifford will never be considered close to an NFL talent. I see your point though. Just makes me wonder if we should be concerned about Levis.

Based on what you wrote I wouldn’t say you disagree completely. You mentioned several things that have currently hurt our franchise under Tepper and have caused our organizational demise. During the Chris Weinke year or Jimmy Clausen year I still don’t remember things being this low. Jerry was a creep in many ways, but even without talking to the media we could see his vision. Tough nose defensive minded football team that wouldn’t quit. He knew when we stunk and made changes the following season to correct the mistakes that were made. No one knows if Tepper has a vision for our franchise. The things that he says does not match the people he employs or his actions. It’s been 5 losing seasons with this clown and without a clear direction our fan base is arguably at an all time low.

Will Levis passes the eye ball test at Kentucky, but no one really talks about him getting beat out by Sean Clifford at Penn St. and having to transfer to Kentucky. That raises questions for me. How can we expect Levis to lead an NFL team when he couldn’t beat a guy that won’t be drafted? I get the questions about CJ Stroud in the Ohio State offense, but when you watch the tape CJ looks like a future star. I like both prospects but it’s important to get it right this time. I hope our scouting staff looks at every potential aspect and scenario to uncover flaws for both QB prospects. Baker is fool’s gold. We don’t need to be starstruck.

Nah competitive losses would be better. It’s hard to turn a fan base back in your favor if we continually get embarrassed beyond any hope or repair. I want a top quarterback out of this draft too. I just don’t want irreparable damage to our squad.

That’s exactly how the Bills got Allen too. They kept swinging over the years until they struck liquid Gold

After looking at his stint as coordinator and HC, I really see this as a PR stunt because so many were calling for Rhules head. We will probably be drafting top 3this year. That should get us one of the top 2 quarterbacks. I am still willing to draft Will Anderson if we get a proven quality free agent QB but drafting a QB sets your salary cap up for the long haul.

He gets more and more confident each game. If he continues to improve like this watch out league!!

Lol you guys are a trip. FIRE RHULE NOW !! Less than 12 hours later …….. If Wilks fugs up our draft I will be so upset !! Wilkes sucked in Arizona ! Get rid of him !! What do you want ??? If that’s the case most of us should have quietly accepted Rhule for his failures until week 17, and ask for his head on a platter then. I don’t think it’s probable for Wilks to succeed, but at this point let the man do his job, with his limited ability to make changes mid-season, without blaming him for his predecessors failures.

That’s kind of how successful coaches are built. The most successful coaches come up under a great mind (coaching tree) and sprinkle in their own elements to grow. McDermott learned under Jim Johnson while Andy Reid was the head ball coach. John Harbaugh also learned under that regime so those are pretty good references or coaches to be associated with. I don’t know if Wilkes will work out but it’s kind of premature to say clean house. McDermott was fired and cast off once and look at him now. May as well see how it plays out.

I hope you’re joking. Only position group that needs to be addressed is linebacker and overall team depth. We have a ton of young talented players. We NEED a quarterback to fulfill our true potential. Heck based on our draft position we will be in line for early 2nd round pick, we could get the 1st or 2nd best off ball linebacker there for sure. Panthers will be 4 years into rebuild QB is the ONLY call in a draft year where QB is supposed to be a strength

I think Brady had more creativity in the route tree and spacing for our key players. The problem last year was Brady called the same plays over and over. That became predictable. Hopefully Macadoo has more rabbits in his magic hat.

Hard to judge based on Rhules contractual control. Fitterer really hasn’t had the opportunity to build a roster yet. He has had to collaborate and compromise based on what Rhule wants. That isn’t typically the case in most front offices. Final say typically goes to the GM. Rumored Fittz has had more say this year, but it’s way to early to judge the draft class and free agent signings. I think he has earned the right. Most analyst and fans alike loved his draft this past year.

Based on what I have seen this list is spot on. Chinn and Burns scores are a tad low. Luvu’s score is high in my opinion. Frankie Luvu had a better game in terms of tackles, but he dropped an easy interception. Hoskins flashed last year before going on the IR but he suuuuuucks this year.

what sucks is that we are one game in and it already feels like LAST season ANOTHER lost season. I always thought the “I fixed it for you” line was cute but corny. Had to do it.

Lol kind of like R. Rivera with Siona Fua oh the misery

Honestly I’m okay with that based on who we have in the secondary.

I agree lol. Nixon isn’t game changing or game altering talent. I just feel this signing has the potential to help make the Browns one dimensional. My emphasis on Cleveland was because we have to take it one game at a time after winning 5 games each of the last two seasons. We should want Brissett trying to throw it 30 or more times against our strength, which is our secondary. No way I want Chubb and his backups running down our throat in BOA.

Hard point to argue there. I think this move is more about taking Cleveland’s rushing attack away. Roy is a better run stopper than Nixon.

Thanks that’s what I was curious about. Now we at least know there is a clear plan. Cleveland for the last 3 years has been top 3 in rushing. This is a step to ensure Cleveland doesn’t run all over us. I’m not sure why some of the other Huddlers are surprised based on how Rhule can be quick to the trigger. Nixon wasn’t going to turn into an All-Pro. He fell out of favor in college, so why gamble on a low floor decent ceiling defensive lineman now. We also need to be honest Nixon didn’t flash this year and Hoskins and McCall are both stout against the run. I like the signing, if it works on Sunday. We don’t need any 150 yard rushing days from the Browns. We definitely don’t need Chubb gashing us and taking our defenses confidence away. At least our coaches know their potential flaws.

The quarterbacks that have had the most success in Carolina have all had moxie and swag. Delhomme, Cam and hopefully Baker. It’s an Alpha sport that generates billions of dollars. You need an Alpha go get ‘‘em attitude. Based on Cynthia’s transcript and backpedaling I don’t see anything that Baker did wrong here.

If we’re smart we will run the ball at a high clip to protect Ickey and Baker and plan for quick throws early in the game. Then take some shots as the defensive line gets a little winded.

Yep I swear Rhule fixates at all the wrong analytics.

Best comment in this thread. He needs to coach his way out of the hole he created without any further damage. That’s if he can, which isn’t likely. He would need to hire new offensive and defensive cords. I know the defensive coordinator idea isn’t as popular but I thunk we can do better.

I think that’s most peoples thought process. Donte keeps playing at his current level with his tackles for loss, speed combined with his age he will probably be the top free agent CB . If that happens I rather take Gilmore for around a 3 year.

Good post I hope Gilmore #9 can erase #17
