Rhule would have had him play RG.

Keep swinging

Ouch stalker done been spotted.

Quit the insults. And it's 'you're' dumb as fug.

I'd rather not trade for any player, but if we were bound and determined to I'd do this at the most

I wouldn't use the word excited. I said they were learning. Taking steps in the right direction.They still have a ways to go and if Rhule still has to ok them, they aren't looking in the tiny fishbowl Rhule was using to find talent. They've improved there. It's ok to say something good about the team every once in a while if it looks like they possibly might be doing something better than they were. I said they also need to find a good LT and good QB, both of which are still big problem areas that have to be addressed with someone who can contribute at a high level right away. I don't see both of those happening. And I said winning record, not playoff caliber. There's a difference and even then it's a stretch saying that Rhule could take this team that far (although as bad as the falcons and saints are looking, if Brady starts falling off this year, we could be the turd that floats to the top but gets flushed anyways).

The FO is finally learning how to build it right....or they already knew and it was just a matter of taking control away from Rhule (control that he should never have had). Whatever the case, they are doing it right and it's a formula that they can rinse and repeat. Now it's just a matter of what Rhule does with the team the FO is giving him. We tried it Rhule's way with Rhule deciding on and controlling personnel and we fell on our face twice. Now he gets a chance with more legit talent, picked by someone else, that isn't predictated on their relationship with him. If we get a decent LT and a QB that's half decent, we might see a winning record. Downside is Rhule might stick for a while longer

Not all pro but big improvement over last year. I think someone got their mouth taped up.

Probably/hopefully this. Not a bad idea having a LB who is good against the run and that's his role. Then just take home out for nickel packages on passing downs. Shouldn't be an issue.

Whoa. What a shock.

Desperation is affecting objectivity and it's going to cause the team to settle. There are no QBs worth the pick. Waiting till next year is the wise choice, but this team is desperate so it will reach.

It's his job to make sure that happens. It's his job to make sure he gets the right coaching and that he stays on track and gets from point A to point B developmentally. It's on his shoulders. The responsibility is his. The job is his.

Lol blind squirrel

Whoa. Nice.

This is awesome!!!!!!!!

He shouldn't be.

He's have to do much better than just a winning season. Deep run in the playoffs or he's gone. I mean there has to be big time improvement. I just don't see it happening. Not with this crew. Not with this team. They have to get a QB that performs THIS year. No time to develop. It needs to be a real and quick turnaround. You think Rhule can pull that off?

We need to act as if we got Watson and get the OL he'd need to succeed.

The center you need is out there. Go get him.

It is true. Prove I'm wrong. The notion that it takes years to build a winner is a myth. Is the goal to win a Superbowl? How many teams have won it in the last 30 years in more than 4 years after hiring their head coach? It's going to be a really short list. Typically it's done within 3 years and in occasion 4. Those teams were winning within 2 years. Show me a list of teams who became consistent winners after several years of losing using the same coach. We should have seen a lot of progress between year one and two. Did we see it? No. No. I don't have patience for a plan that goes beyond 2 or 3 years to build a winner because it just isn't warranted.

He only had one year in so he was still an unknown commodity without pro experience who had a coaching staff without experience. At best, he was still an experiment and not at all a proven commodity. There was and is really no reason to choose him over a head coach with a proven track record of success or one with years of experience in the league. He's just not an attractive commodity, regardless of how he tries to sell himself. His sales pitch might work on kids and billionaires with no/limited experience running a team, and bad GMs, but apparently it's not working on the grown men who take the field. Does Tepper actually believe that Rhule is his long term guy? Does he have faith in his head coach? Then come out and say it. Players notice this kind of thing. Why come and lead a team as a franchise QB if the head coach has an uncertain future?

We aren't set up to win because this is Rhule's team. It doesn't take long to build a winning team if you know what you're doing. It takes just a couple years and we aren't exactly trending upwards. If a head coach doesn't have his team winning within two years, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen with Rhule. Even if he does miraculously eek out a winning season somehow next year, it won't be a trend. It will be an exception. He's not capable of building and coaching a consistent winner.

Here's one big thing... Rhule is perceived by many, with good reason, to be a coach with one foot out the door. He hasn't been winning. He hasn't exactly been successful building a winning team. He hasn't put together an offensive line that can protect a QB, not does he seem to know how to do it with his poor choices and constant shuffling around of pieces (and wanting pieces to shuffle around rather than let them play their one position). And his lack of experience in the pro league shows on several fronts. He just isn't isn't that attractive an option for a franchise QB and coupled with the notion that he might get fired within a year...what's the point? He's just not a good selling point.

There's another thread on it.
