Matt Rhule made Sam Darnold the man. He assembled that OL. He spent his top 10 pick on a DB. He is the dude that punted from the opponents 30, calls timeouts and lets the boos make the playcall…. fix the OL and we still have Matt Rhule. If your architect is unqualified….getting quality materials still won’t matter in the long run.

I was done with Rhule this past offseason while we were in camp. His bullshit there just didn’t fly. And it even seemed like he knew it. He looked really bad then.

That why I said relative to his other homes and where he spends his time…he is a billionaire. he spent like 5mill on that and then went on to spend 70 mill for his primary residence in FL.

It’s a safe place to park some of his money with an added ego perk. Just some diversification for his wealth. That’s how I view his professional sports adventures. and he has no ties to the Carolinas. He isn’t from here. Has no history here. And relative to his other homes and where he stays….basically rents an apartment here for when he visits

Truth. but maybe it isn’t even about that. Can Rhule even find 3 guys with a real NFL resume for the job to say yes? Maybe Tepper is just going to let the rest of the league tell him what Rhule is. If I was a good OC….I’m not taking the job unless it’s the last job. Because it’s a bad job under Rhule.

Yep. And you saw one of the most important things happen IMO….you saw his Lions team actually improve as the season went on. Yeah, they stunk overall but from week 1 to 17 they steadily trended up. two seasons in a row Rhule has gotten worse as the season has gone on. That should get you fired. Same thing happens in game. Worse. Matt Rhule isn’t an NFL coach.

3-0 > 0-3 or 2-1. But Sam was still Sam. And it was talked about by many even when we were 3-0 and the breaks we caught to be that. Joe Brady had overachieved frankly every season but the one that he was paired with Sam Darnold. You know the imploding Sam Darnold who our DC and Rhule picked out. you can put Rhule on Tepper. Sam is on Rhule. There is literally no evidence that Tepper forced Sam freaking Darnold on Rhule. That’s just being a make things up Rhule apologist. And all the inside rumors were Tepper wanted Fields even when Rhule got Sam.

Biggest downside to OP, is you give Rhule another year to dictate contracts and player resources….that will impact the future. Because they will be made to fit his vision.

He didn’t just fug up. 1. He hired an unqualified college coach. But then 2. He then have that guy a 7 year deal. And then 3. He then made him one of the highest paid and then * maybe there is, but we have no confirmation he then even put an offset clause in this contract and Matt Rhule is a variation of Tepper when it comes to QB lol. and you got to think the other owners hate Tepper of fugging up inflating coaching contracts. If Matt Rhule gets that….then what should a good and qualified HC get? That’s what other owners have to hear.

We have 4 years as a starting QB in the NFL and his college years to judge Sam. He is a happy feet turnover machine that can read a field. And that has always been the case. OL protection or not.

No. We beat 2 teams that featured rookies on and teams making their NFL debut and a hurricane displaced team that lost all their coaches to covid. We struggled to beat Jets. We got very lucky with Sam putting the ball multiple times on the ground vs Hou. And the Saints were a complete mess for a thousand reasons

Lineup on a neutral field tomorrow and I’m only favoring us vs the Jags and Giants. Giants beat us but they have trended worse. Hou and Lions were better teams by seasons end

ST and OL coach were the same one speculated that he would sacrifice in season if needed. They weren’t his boys from college. and it looks like he threw in one Baylor guy that he only worked work for 2 years to make it not so glaring. probably hires brother in law or some poo. That went to Temple for a semester or something

Yes, I know. Just like Sam isn’t. And Sam is much worse than Teddy. but Teddy wasn’t our QB this season. So why are they forced into Sam next year. Teddy was under contract to be the dude this season.

Teddy wasn’t our QB this season. So you always have a choice.

Samir ain’t running the show. He is signing deals the goof troop tells him to sign.

Robby was a 2 year deal. And he took up more cap than Devante Adams and Diggs lol. That’s bad. And it sets a bad precedent for how they do business. I didn’t comment on rookie deals. The worry is what they will do with Reddick, Jackson, etc.

Look, Clemson and Ohio St aren’t in the playoffs this year! Totally different. And Bama missed that one time too. Remember! lol. But yeah, you right. you can pretty much pick some variation of Bama, Clemson, Ohio St, random SEC team, Notre Dame and almost hit it every year. OU obviously prior to the move and now just lump them into the random one year SEC rotation.

Well, the GM/HC still seem to be rolling pretty hard today towards Sam. And as noted in the presser, they were different with Teddy at this time last year.

Samir is making the deals with the input and influence of the HC/GM. So whoever you want to put it on. The contracts this FO makes. that’s a worry. Nothing sound about Robby and Sam. That’s not something a good FO does. I think we got a lot more pain coming and I think we have lost sight of how lucky we were to pull of Fox and Ron windows back to back. Those were two solid runs in reality. It’s not Tomlin or Bill type runs. But there is a lot worse than what we had been doing.

He had a OL at USC. Yet nothing but fumbles and INTs. And he had time in NY where the OL play wasn’t disastrous. Everyone tries to define his NY career as all being like his final year. It wasn’t. Sam can’t read a field. Can’t stay in rhythm and go throw when he should Z Giving him time leads to disaster too. Basically all be can do is dink and dunk. Ask more of that and Sam does Sam things. Always has. Always will.

I worry about the deals Rhule/Fitt will make. we are living through the “it can always be worse” window following 2 strong back to back runs by Fox and Rivera. Think Sam and Robby’s deal are the canary in the coal mine.

I think Bama’s game plan should be to intentionally be one dimensional to a degree. let the pass setup some running but screw trying to come out and run the football

Sam gets worse every year. That’s where letting him work on it gets you. Worst starter for 4 years in the NFL. You somehow need 5.
