He's 250lbs, they've known they can run on him since his rookie season.

Good lord you people have a pathological hatred of Rhule.

OP really doesn't like Darnold (assuming OP is the host ). Also I felt like you strayed into the Option, rather than the RPO when talking about that part of the game. Otherwise a good listen.

Unless you're bringing him in to start - and we know that he's washed so that would be a mistake - then don't sign him. He's simply a massive distraction - this fan base can't disassociate the player he is today with the player he was in 2015.

If he beats out Darnold, sure.

He's limited his touches himself - he hasn't played for two years.

They could never work out how to get the A's there. No way they've got the money for an NFL team.

It was certainly the epitome of filler.

It concerns me, to be honest. It's out of step with the rest of the article. Fitterer: "If I had the #1 pick I'd take Ekwuno". Also Fitterer: "Ekwuno unexpectedly fell to #6 and I chanced my arm at a trade, knowing he wouldn't be available when I picked again". Same mistake we made last year. I don't know who the OT we were targeting in the 2nd round was, but I'm inferring, from the relief in Tepper's voice when he made the Draft call and the way they handled his rookie season, that it wasn't Brady Christensen. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how Fitterer has accumulated picks and moved around the Draft board, but sometimes he gets a little too cute when the answer is staring him in the face.

Cross is a better pass protector now, but Ekwonu has a higher upside if he takes on board the techniques he'll be taught by Campen. We're committed to running the football with this OLine. This won't be a finesse team.

Beats the 20 threads about Watson, fighting for space with the 15 threads about Rhule and the 10 threads about Darnold.

Jimmy G? Brissett?

And then he ran into a HoF WR who could bail him out every down.

If you think he's an NFL starting QB you take him in the 2nd round even if you've got Mahomes or Allen at QB. Quality starting NFL QBs are as rare as hens' teeth - you'd get your return for him in a trade down the line.

Kiffin is a brilliant College OC. It's cause and effect for me. Did he install the (S)RPO because that's simply what Corral ran best and was most comfortable with? Or did he install it because that's all he could process? For what it's worth, Kiffin loves him, so I'm hoping it's the first one.

I question his deep ball accuracy and his ability to process the field - Kiffin made things very simple for him with that (S)RPO offence. That said, for a third rounder it's a great pick. Sit him, let Ryan and McAdoo develop him and see what you've got later in the season. No need to rush him.

Go check out the interviews on the Panthers YouTube channel. He's standoffish and awks with the local media, but very affable with Kristen Balboni - I assume she made him lower his guard before hitting record.

OP: Our new OC recommended Corral Huddle: Fire Rhule! Rent. Free.

And we didn't pull the trigger. Therefore, we didn't value him as a 2nd round pick.

Well sure, but Brady has won 7 of the things, so that's taking a lot of them out of the equation.

That mock is incredibly disrespectful to Big Dick Van Dyke.

I'm off to shag Katherine Langford. I'm just waiting for her to return my call.

Exactly. We didn't value him as a 2nd round prospect.

Teams weren't playing chicken - they just didn't value anyone outside of Pickett as a 2nd round talent. It is what it is - we'll see how it plays out.

Out of interest, what do you consider a 'franchise' QB? 'Cos to me there's only like 10 of those guys in the NFL. Everyone else you're looking to upgrade on. I'd just be happy with a good NFL QB at this point.
