I guess with Bozeman coming off an injury I see why for the moment you list Elf as 1st team. I don't like it.

Kinda like another fairly successful QB around these parts . . .

As soon as it's at their new team facility you should expect it.

Luke Kuechly. By far our best game day coach, despite the fact he was on the field.

I interpret this differently. I interpret the exchange as: REPORTER: "Go F* them up Baker" (colorful well wishes for start of season) BAKER: "I will" (thanks) That's probably all it was, based on what I've seen. Then, someone decided then needed more followers or whatever and made more of it.

Expect to see us go down below the 53 so we can pick up some depth at DE off waivers. We've cut nearly all of our depth there.

Yes please. I liked Mond coming out. He was a little bit of a system QB at A&M, but he's got a live arm.

I believe that the responders probably conflated dislike and distrust in the context of that question. I suspect that the real answer is that none of them trust the other.

That's a negative, Baker is 2 inches taller. Also: Our "backup" QB throws half as many TD's and twice the INT's (as percentages) as Sam Darnold. I gotta believe we can do better. Our PUNTER can probably do better tbh.

I don't hate Rhule. I also don't think he's a good coach. The two aren't mutually exclusive. To me, it's a simple question: If fired here, would he be hired elsewhere in the NFL as a head coach? My answer is no, he would not. I'm sure he'd get another mid-tier college job rather quickly and probably do quite well. The hate should be reserved for a front office that isn't constructed and organized in a manner conducive to success. It seems that no one there has the power to pull the plug on the coaching regime. That falls squarely on the owner.

The Rhule kiss of death has now been thrown down. Hope he makes the team.

I like what I saw on Camp Confidential from Chris Tabor. Dude has some juice, seems like he can really connect with the guys. Results on the field (what little we've seen) also seem to reflect that he's making strides. Oh, and shocker, NFL experience. I like what I've seen so far from McAdoo. He's got a lot of character in interviews. Taking this offense to a top 10 offense would be a massive accomplishment for him. I think we have the players at the skill positions, and while not perfect, our line seems a lot better. Our QB can't help but be better. Cautiously optimistic with him. Campen . . . I like his resume. I want to see them settle on some starters to get the chemistry going. I am troubled by some of the interior OLine play from the WTF game. On the flip side, the troubling play all came from the usual suspects. Everyone else, I think still too early to tell.

Goes back to the old saying, the most important ability is availability.

"If you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none" - John Madden.

I'm sure he would, but having a turnover prone backup QB is not what you're looking for. You need that guy who will protect the ball and not lose the game.

That's JT O'Sullivan on the analysis. He's generally pretty good in his analysis. His QB School channel on Youtube has 150k subscribers. And yea, if one of the WR's on the opposite side ran a corner or something to hold that safety, it would have been wide open.

Does Justin Jefferson come down with that ball? Does Stefon Diggs come down with that ball? Does Davante Adams? Cooper Kupp? I would answer yes to all of those. Because that's what WR1's do in the NFL. RA did not. Draw your own conclusions.

So, what you're saying is that Rhule's most successful season doesn't count? Really? That season we only had 3 losses by more than one score. We were actually in those games for the most part. If we had more than just a bridge QB, we probably would have won three more games. TB5 was exactly what many folks thought. A very solid backup. He isn't going to lose many games for you, but unfortunately, he won't win many either. Last season there were six losses by more than one score. We were far less competitive. Even the one score games, I never got the feeling that we had a chance to come back. After the first three games, we never really looked like a team that was figuring things out. 2020 was a much more successful season, all things considered. 2021 was an unmitigated disaster.

This one game has no bearing on Matt Corral's future as an NFL player. His future is however highly dependent upon the coaching staff. So far, I haven't seen much evidence that those folks understand what MC needs to develop.

CMC has NEVER complained. Not about his workload. Not about the team. Not about the QB. Not about the coaching. NOTHING. Wherever you heard that from you heard wrong or were told wrong. Now, folks on the Huddle do often discuss how (in their opinion) CMC should be used to increase his effectiveness and longevity. Those discussions are usually rather valid. I'm pretty sure that everyone here wants to see CMC on the field as much as possible. Whatever that takes.

Doesn't matter. I don't think Walker is eligible, and Corral would never make it past waivers to be on the PS. Somebody is getting cut.

No way we do business with a division rival. Smith is an WLB, not an MLB.

Camp heroes don't get snatched up. He needs to show something in games.

I mean, that's some pretty good company to be in right there. We could use one of those guys on third downs.

DJ, Robby, Roberts and TMJ are locks. This leaves Higgins, Shi, Zylstra and Saunders fighting it out for either two or three spots. At least one of them is getting cut. I would assume Shi gets cut and perhaps signed to PS.
