You don't have to have coached in the NFL to recognize bad coaching or bad management, and it's not required to recognize the arrogance to claim success despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. Rhule has made absolute bone headed decisions from hiring a staff with almost zero NFL experience to assembling one of the worst offensive lines we've ever had (and overpaying for it to), and trading assets for the worst QB in the past 3 years after watching very little film on him when other better QBs were available for far far less. And let's not forget the 2-12 finish after barely beating the Jets, a Saints team missing half the damn staff due to Covid, and a Texans team with a 3rd round rookie making his first NFL start. But keep on drinking that kool-aid Rhay-Z keeps serving. It's good poo. 1000%

This defense better be the best the NFL has ever seen because they're going to have to hold every team to 7 or less for us to have a chance with our high powered 3 and out offense.

There's a difference between sticking out the rough times and tolerating incompetence. Rhule has shown he has no idea how to run an NFL team, evaluate talent, or put players in a position to succeed. Demanding better than arrogant failure does not make me less of a fan.

The Detroit Lions have a brighter future right now than we do. How far we have fallen.

The fact we signed PJ Walker the day after our season ended tells me sadly, the answer to your question is on our roster.

Step 3. The next time you allow the football guys to make football decisions, please make sure they at least have some NFL experience first. Step 4. See Step one.

The only reason we got Burns is because Daniel Snyder forced the pick of Haskins. Montez Sweat ended up going to them with their 2nd 1st round pick. Otherwise it would have been Greg Little in the 1st because Burns wouldn't have been there.

Stupid moves are the reason we can't have nice things.

I don't either really and if we were to trade for later 1st round picks, I think we would have to draft Thibs if we believed in him enough and try to move Burns, a 2023 pick and his still decent rookie contract with 5th year option to get a 15 and 19 like we could from Philly. There's a lot of what ifs involved with that, but I seriously think that's the only way we could trade out from 6 and not lose a whole lot IF we believe Thibs could be as good as Burns.

Losing CMC is a big deal but if your OC can't do anything other than run 75% of the offense through him, the problem isn't just that we aren't a competitive team. It's in large part because we've been led by a guy who thinks he's smarter than everyone else in the building and well... we've seen how that's worked out. 5-12 is for winners. 1000%

If someone is willing to trade up from the early or mid teens to get him if all 3 tackles are gone then I'm good with that. Could still land Linderbaum or one of the other top LTs if they are high enough on our board.

So a tackle that is really a guard that might be able to play center but is really just our long term solution at long snapper.

It's pretty bad when you see Panthers gear in the clearance section of discount stores. I've seen some stuff 90% off and thought to myself, nyah, still to expensive.

The really really sad part is that the members of the Huddle have been right more than our NFL guys.

He's letting the football guys make football decisions. Except the guy making the most calls also happens to have virtually no NFL experience and is probably going to make Bill O'Brian look like a competent coach/GM.

Every time I see one of these trade options I can't help but think this is how Texans fans felt when Bill O'Brian was their HC/GM.

Unfortunately we don't have the coach to play this what if game.

I'm not making plans with next year's QB class or that we will have the ability to even get a QB. But you don't draft a player out of desperation. We have needs that can be filled at 6 with LT or possibly trade down for more assets. We need to look at what's best for the team as a whole and if we think Willis is the biggest difference maker, then that's who we should take. Unfortunately, the guy who's going to make that decision also thought he was fleecing the Jets to get Sam Darnold.

Why are we hyping guys that would likely have been 2nd or 3rd round picks at best last year. This is not the year to snatch a QB at 6.

They were all dummy years.

Linebacker is one of the least risky positions. Everyone talks about Hurneys masterful 1st round picks but his 1st round picks weren't all risky either. Peppers was the best player in the draft. Gross was the highest rated tackle. RBs aren't 1st round picks IMO, there's too much production available in much later rounds. We need to focus on the hard to get positions with our early picks and fill in the lesser demand with FA and later rounds.

We're between a desperate coach and a hard place.

Well send our 2023 1st for Jimmy G and draft Pickett, keep PJ as our 3rd string, convert darnold to HB/TE, and make Cam our slot receiver. That should give us enough QBs to make it to week 7 behind our line.

Mainly because the first anheiser Busch brewery was in st Louis. The stadium would still probably serve stale beer though.
