Rhule "a fan" of Darnold

Watching Matt Rhule actually communicate, teach ...COACH...at the Senior Bowl practices up close on the field was exactly what I needed so that now I can understand what Sam Darnold is going to be exposed to in Carolina. And it is good. Real good.

Riddick seems to have become a big Matt Rhule fan.

I never expected the top four to be at 8. But I’m cool with drafting Fields or Lance there. Just don’t see it being an option. 

IMO, Sam is a better option than Teddy, and actually saves us money this year (assuming we cut TB post 6/1). If we are able to get a rookie QB, we simply don't pick up his 5th year option. The only downside to this whole thing is having to part with next year's 2nd. But hell, maybe we'll get lucky and a change of scenery will make Sam the second coming of Joe Montana.

To the public, maybe.

People he's coached and people that have worked for him characterize him as a hard ass.

And that’s a good thing. We’ve gone the players’ coach route for many years and that really hasn’t made us consistent winners. Based on what we know about some of Rhule’s mentors (Parcells, Reid), I’m sure he’ll find the right balance when it comes to developing players.

Maybe. But it certainly feels more like you didn’t get what you wanted and so now you are going to moan. 
 

Maybe Darnold isn’t the answer but maybe Wilson, Lance and Fields aren’t either. You’ve lost faith in the staff that has been here a total of one season, had one (damn good) draft and put performed everyone’s expectations. 
 

I get all the cool kids poo on this team 24/7 but damn it they are starting to look more like whiners than anything else these days.

All I want are smart moves. This is just like the Teddy move. We're acquiring a trash QB hoping desperately that he won't be trash for us. These moves usually turn out predictably. History isn't on our side here.

Hell, Ya'll are both right. I agree that trading a 2nd for a guy that has been nothing but terrible so far seems a bit desperate, BUT, I want to see how all this plays out before I lose my poo. LG, you have to be impressed by last year's draft, right? Other than the 2 QB moves (and possibly giving CMC a kazillion dollar contract), what has this staff done that has hurt the franchise?

I think it's meant to keep us from drafting a qb in the first out of desperation if all the best options are taken, which seems likely. If somebody falls unexpectedly, I don't see any reason they couldn't still draft one.

Rhule's an "atta boy" coach to the media/public ............who never saw a pay check he didn't like...........

I will admit he made an okay college coach ........but he would really be a great HS coach. 

To the media and public yes but that’s it.
