Roy is safe. Rhule guy.

Very possible. I do think those IOL spots are going to be largely up for grabs.

Yeah, I mean if he never plays another down for us, it was still a good gamble in the 6th.

Smitty was not a UDFA, though. It's a long shot for any UDFA.

I'd buy it.

Even if that is the case, none of those guys is likely capable of beating out our top three. I think maybe it's more about that bottom of the roster churn Fitterer talked about.

That is interesting. We threw money at UDFA WR's. Maybe they view the positional depth as less than ideal? I would have honestly said that is one of our stronger units on the team.

I don't know if they would have and neither do you. That's ultimately the problem with your example to try and prop up your McAdoo argument. It's a flawed premise because it doesn't have factual support. Well apparently we did offer that massive deal straight up. Not sure if you remember but Rhule took that deal to the Giants and they immediately balked at trying to outpay us. So, again, not a great example. It's also getting a bit off into the weeds to talk Darnold or Rhule when my original point still pretty much stands. It's a big red flag to not be able to get at least a coordinator job in the NFL since 2017. That's a pretty clear indicator of what the league thinks of him. Could he turn that around? Sure. A season or two of really good offenses here and certainly.

I suspect that means he will at least make the PS.

Rumors aren't facts. The "value" on Darnold was established by one specific dumb team. Same with the "value" of Matt Rhule when we hired him. Same dumb team did both of those things. Same dumb team that hired McAdoo.

Yeah but there will always be dumb teams. The fact that no one hired him and we did.....well.....does you think 31 other teams are dumb? The Sam Darnold move is a great example of us doing something dumb that zero other teams would have done.

Yeah but I am not taking up either side of you guys argument on the playcalling. I am just pointing out the lack of ability to be employed in the NFL in any meaningful capacity outside of one year as a QB Coach in Jacksonville in 2020 since his firing in 2017 is bad. That doesn't happen to good or great coaches. Honestly, it isn't common for mediocre coaches. It is common for bad coaches, though. The NFL is kind of telegraphing what they think of him, IMO. We will find out soon enough. I know that I won't give him the same rope as I gave Brady. He doesn't have any "learning" bubble. He needs to come in and produce right away.

Well the Jags FO is a complete disaster, so that could be why they got rid of him. It will be interesting to see what the NFL thinks about him as a FA.

It's possible but it's been a while since we had a UDFA actually make the roster, IIRC.

I like Minshew but I do wonder if he can ever match the legend the Huddle has made him. I'm as guilty of it as most but if he were really the second coming of Fitzmagic, he would probably have a LOT of interest.

Great post. It's funny that I remember how having a "possession" receiver was such a big thing before all these spread offense became the norm. Lacking the ability to separate is one of the quickest ways out of the league now.

He is saying that it's an incentive for the fans to give feedback. And also that Tepper is a shyster.

Yeah, I am skeptical of the supposed "genius" of McAdoo. But, really we just need him to be competent and it's an improvement. I think we can all agree on that. I am also a little perplexed by the crowd that has elevated his status as QB whisperer to almost mythical proportions. I don't think he would unemployed for so long if he was really an exceptional guy at developing QB talent. But....he just has to be better than Brady, so his bar is gonna be pretty low.

Ron was an established entity in the NFL already. I wouldn't have hired him as a HC personally but he also wasn't a disaster. McAdoo on the other hand actually was a disaster as a HC. I don't know if he will work out or not but you don't find many NFL coaches that cannot get employed for the length of time that he did. It's definitely not a great sign.

I mean, that last part is damning enough. Not being able to be employed at your job for that long is a bad look. Great or even good OC's aren't on the shelf that long unless they want to be.

Oh I would bet a significant amount of money on us seeing a 5th straight. You know what's sad? I had the thought the other day about how much better it would have been had we literally just kept Ron.

If they made the stadium the only area in NC that using weed was legal, it will be packed for the foreseeable future. It would be kind of quiet but at least it wouldn't have a bunch of cheering opposing fans.

Yeah but that isn't gonna happen for a while at this rate. I don't think the city is in the mood for funding a new stadium and I doubt they are going to get a lot of traction on a new area after the Rock Hill fiasco. Plus, they would literally be selling a product at it's absolute lowest point. You think the public wants to hear whining about needed a new stadium after 4 straight years of losing?

See. That meltdown didn't take long. That most hilarious thing is that you literally do this to yourself. Even if I didn't try to spin you up even more, you would do it anyway. You pick fights with every user that doesn't have your exact opinion. Notice how you keep having problems with poster after poster? You ever consider maybe you are the problem?
