I dont know how anyone can hate Marty and not David Tepper. Tepper has one hand up Marty's ass and the other up Rhule's ass. If you think Rhule was hired and Marty retained were to be anything more than "Yes men" you're fooling yourselves.

Because at this point we dont know if Teppers overall plan is going to work or not.  Pretty simple actually.  We know how marty rolls

So with all teams doing totally virtual drafts, have the Patriots finalized their hacking team yet, or is there still time to get on the payroll?

This is one of those things that makes you go "ha ha ha h...wait a minute"

Even if Okung is better for a year he's old.... how does this help the youth movement/rebuild????

Cap space. 
 

Turner’s cap hit next season is atrocious.

People say Marty the person is actually quite likeable.

But yeah, he sucks at his job...bad.

and having the former will keep you gainfully employed often times way past your expiration date

Wrong about what?

when marty hurney’s career was seemingly brought back from the dead by jerry richardson and he was restored to his previous capacity as a general manager, a lot of ppl supported the decision, and surprisingly, even ppl who were around during the late 2000s and early 2010s to watch marty completely mismanage the drafts and salary cap supported it. the premise was that he was great at talent relations, which made it a good move.

I don't think too many people would dispute that Marty is a Yes Man, but I don't feel like I know enough about Rhule yet to say anything for certain.

That said, for quite a while there, Rhule dutifully spoke about how he couldn't wait to coach Newton.

The team would probably like for you to believe that no decision was made at the time those statements were being put out there.

I don't buy that story one bit.

What if Hurney and Tepper kept him out of the loop to such an extent that he had no idea they were trying to trade Newton, hence his comments about being excited to work with him?

That strikes me as far more likely of a scenario than Rhule being in on it.

I think Tepper blindsided him.

I’ve seen you say this a lot. Is there a source for this, or are you just inferring it base upon the fact that no one picked Little before the Panthers?

There’s literally never a source for anything he says, he’s just used to no one challenging him on anything. Just like his talking point about how we would’ve taken Little at 16 if Burns wasn’t there...don’t ask him to provide any sources for that or anything.

[WOW!!]

It gives your 2nd round and 6th round LT's a veteran to learn from and compete with for a year.. Hopefully helping them get up to speed better then throwing them to the wolves and getting a Qb killed in the process...

That's exactly my point. If Rhule wasn't a "Yes man" Cam would still be here, right? I mean what coach doesn't have any say so in who his Quarterback is going to be?

None of this makes any sense and it's clear they are all lieing to try and save face. Tepper is 100% the meddlesome owner this franchise did not need.

Not to defend @Mr. Scot but I saw that same rumor posted somewhere else.  I can't remember where at the moment and do not care enough to find it for you.  Just sayin

Lol, we did? Did you know that Worley has been starting for the Raiders for the past year and a half and has been ranked higher than Donte? Smith never even signed with another team after we paid him $350,000 for each of his 17 receptions.

He also was suspended for some off the field issues dealing with police... Did you want that situation again on the team??

May I remind you that Worley was arrested and then released by the Eagles a few weeks after the trade. 

And? Worley was picked up 8 days later and started a year and a half for the Raiders. Starting CB > WR4 and the Raiders paid $2.5M less. Eagles released him too quickly so that’s on them. That said they were cutting Smith and were able to get us to bite and give them something for nothing. Similar to LAC, who I think would have released Okung anyway due the tackle depth this year.

Actually, I did. In fact, the same source that said Newton was going to be let go when people who didn't want to believe it kept saying he had no inside info.
