Yeah, the Superbowl definitely knocked it out of us. That tends to happen when you work your asses off to get to the pinnacle of the sport and then get used as the league's whipping boy on an international stage to advance their storylines and agendas while having everything you dreamed of snatched from your grasp in minutes. Now, there has been a lot of turnover since then, so I don't believe there are any players or staff outside of Cam that was a part of that, so I think what we're seeing now is just how horrible an owner Tepper is and how bad of a coach Rhule is. They set the tone, and it's clear the tone is one of mediocrity and apathy. Decisions made demonstrate that this isn't a culture of meritocracy, so why really sell out? Your efforts may or may not be rewarded. You may be scapegoated. You may get playing time you don't deserve. Or worse,, you may give 100% and play the game of your life, but your amateur coaching staff will srill find a way to lose and waste your effort, over and over again... so why try? It's all a crap shoot, so it's easier to just show up and go through the motions. I feel like that's where we're at now.

We definitely are already there. How many losing seasons is this now? And now we'll be going on like, what? Our 5th or 6th starting QB in 3 years under Rhule? I remember the Browns having a different starting QB each year for several years, but I don't remember even them having this many in such a short amount of time. The only thing I get optimistic for or excited about in regards to our team is whatever happens after Rhule.

At least he won't get injured.

Remember that cutesy story Panthers media spun, where our dumbass coach called the college LS and asked if he wanted to be a Carolina Panther? Then remember how we used a draft pick on the guy when he likely would've been available as a UDFA? Then remember how that LS couldn't beat out ol' JJ? Then remember how we put him on the PS because he couldn't beat JJ? And now we resigned JJ? Rhule is a fuging idiot. But, glad JJ is back so Rhule's mistake isn't forced into action.

Has plenty of experience but didn't seem to excel in any of it. But, judging from his lack of ability to stay anywhere for too long, he shouldn't be too out of his depths here once this staff is canned in December.

I can't believe that's all it took to move Sabonis. No picks??? Wow.

Just using your post as a springboard, but he def had a job here, I think he just couldn't stand working for an amateurish, know-it-all, self-absorbed idiot who was getting ready to destroy the franchise he loves.

It's likely going got prove to be Rhule's final parting gift as well as the kiss of death for his tenure here. He has the previous connection. He's the smartest guy in the room according to himself and we've seen this movie before *ahem* Darnold! *cough* so just go ahead and prepare yourself... he will be the pick and Rhule will be fired. Thanks Tepper.

Told everyone last season he should've been gone. Rotations have always been poo and he has always played favorites that get minutes over more deserving players. Also, can probably count on one hand where he drew up a play that actually worked out of a timeout or stoppage. I guess he has been ok at player development but thats hard to guage from the outside because a lot of these guys may have developed along the same trajectory regardless of who the coach was. Also, between this and MJ getting up to walk out after almost blowing the Lakers game, I'm guessing he already has one foot out the door. You can't blow having the #1 offense in the league and playing so badly you might not make the playoffs.

I think he's a late round pick with a ton of value, but funny enough, that is exactly the type of RB we should've gotten to plug in our offense instead of investing all the money we did into CMC to miss the majority of games every season.

Strictly politics.

The fact that the best player/point guard on the #1 offense in the NBA didn't make it is completely bullshit. fug the NBA, fug Cleveland, and fug Garland and his basic ass game.

Unfugingbelievable. Trae and Garland are complete bullshit.

I said it back then, but Gettleman had a full on fan club on here that thought he was the second coming of Bills-era Polian. He completely blew our best opportunity to win a Superbowl to date. We should've had at least a 3 year window to contend for a championship annually... and I said it when he left that he set us back at least 5 years even after his departure. Luckily for us, Rhule is setting us back another 5-10. Great times.

Good. fug him and the Aints. Now hire him as our HC.

Wow, wow, wow... I can't fuging wait for Rhule to be out of here fast enough. This poo is a sick fuging joke.

Wow we are a fully engulfed and overflowing port-a-potty right now.

It was supposed to be "of". But I guess either works in this case. Damn autocorrect.

I've screamed to the mountaintops here about my belief in Fitt. I'm not wavering... I am certain we got the GM hire right for the first time ever (Polian doesn't count, and fug him). We also got the related front office hires right (Morgan, Stewart, Sulaiman, etc.). From the program he came from to his analytical-laden answers in pressers and the methodical way he approached the draft and was able to keep trading back and got numerous starters, as far down as the 5th round... its the same thing they did when building Seattle into a contender. Kam Chancellor and Sherman were late round picks. He knows football. He's smart. Now, if we could just get rid of the useless slab of clueless lard that is Fhule.

OP's take is exactly why if this is Tepper's ultimatum it is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Not only because no OC worth their salt or currently employed elsewhere would want to come here, Rhule wouldn't want to hire any OC that presents as a threat to his current throne, and as OP said, because what's stopping Fhule from dragging ass all offseason so that Tepper has no choice but to keep him and let him see the 2022 season. It is as dysfunctional as dysfunctional gets.

Great game overall. But, damn, Chargers... thats gotta hurt. But, at least it restored a very, very minute amount of integrity for the league... if it had ended in a tie, I 100% would've believed either the teams agreed to it or the NFL mandated it beforehand.

I've always liked him and he has always seemed like a solid, capable, productive NBA player when I've watched him in games. Only reason I can think of why he hasn't stuck is because NBA teams have went thr way of smaller/athletic bigs who can move and are interchangeable with guards on the PnR. But honestly, ask yourself what does Plumlee do that Fall can't? So, I say all of that to say, I would sign him.

I kept looking for him when he was in, but didn't see much one way or another... which means he was a thousand times better than Miller.
