Respect to Rhule for proving everyone wrong and not targeting his old players

[GOAT]

this was starting to turn into a meme.

Rhule had a chance to take Mims, Hennessy and Lynch - and he passed for better players that fit his new project.

You know Hurney is the GM right?

Who says he hasn't been? So many conclusions drawn off of zero information.

Hey now, you’re talking about the bread and butter of this place...

First: It's oddly funny, even if expected, that some of you just go way out of the way not to give Hurney any credit!

Secondly: Unless you just thought Rhule was an abject idiot, there's no way you actually believed he would undermine the greater effort here by targeting his players to the detriment of the franchise's ultimate goal of building a consistent winner. That whole narrative was/is preposterous!

The people here are convinced Hurney can do no right and is also somehow responsible for everything bad and nothing that is good so good luck with that

I knew he wouldn't. I said it was stupid that you all kept wanting to talk about it

Not like they really won anything at Baylor, smart man.

Yea it doesn’t make any sense you get the best player possible not someone you like because of ties that’s not a winning formula in the nfl Rhule is trying to win not be buddy buddy with his old players.

Not everyone believed he would do that.  Just the whiny b**** brigade

Yep.  Rhule brought in guys on offense that had ties to him and Joe Brady in this first year to help get their offensive system implemented faster (which is prescient now with this pandemic), but long term Rhule was not going to let his perceived loyalty to his college guys trump building the best pro team.

I have no idea how it's going to work out this year, but I am pleased to see with the draft that there has been at least a discernible plan.

Bring in guys that know the system on offense (including Bridgewater) and draft athletes on defense to help a long-term rebuild there.

This feels a lot like what Pete Carroll did when he first got to the Seahawks.  Of course, we will need to draft (or luck into) a franchise QB like they did with Russell Wilson to ultimately get back to the Super Bowl.
