Matt Rhule Believes his culture is working, even if the wins aren't there

I know right. Like Anderson is an anomaly. Everything else Rhule has touched at the pro level has turned into dust.

Anderson is making more money than DeVante Adams.  He is playing like trash relative to his paycheck

I mean not sure what else Rhule is supposed to say. I didn’t really expect him to say “fug it, i suck donkey ass and these nfl coaches are bit tougher than when I went up against Memphis, Tulsa and SMU”.

Don't really care whether or not Matt Rhule sees that he's terrible.

I care a lot about whether or not David Tepper sees it.

His analogy is flawed.......

In the NFL the talent and culture you build is predicated on how to accomplish while being exposed to the constant presence of injury of those you are trying to build that culture with.  

As a result, to build success in the NFL means you either do that quickly and/or have the ability to keep replacing the broken pieces without falling down.  

As you are building the house some pieces keep falling off of it at the same time and you constantly need to replace them while you are still trying to build the newer components as well. 

So far from what I've seen out of Rhule he has accomplished nothing that reflects he's addressing this reality.

Turnovers are obviously a big issue but just like the discussion of wanting to run the ball more it goes hand in hand with how our defense is doing. And for the last several weeks the defense has been a sieve forcing the offense into obvious passing situations allowing opposing defenses to shut down our already predictable and anemic offense. Rhule chose Joe Brady he chose Jeff Nixon he assembled this oline and he chose to let our power back walk knowing CMC already missed significant time last season. Most of this is self inflicted and the excuses will continue to be met with eye rolls.

I meant to put this in a thread the other week about Rhule. I’ve been watching it and the coach reminds me so much of Rhule. The lady that owns the team brought him in to coach the soccer team which he had never coached that sport before and wanted him to fail to ruin a franchise that used to be owned by her ex husband. Only thing is the coach on the show is changing and making team better lol, Rhule well I think we all know how that’s going!

I think with 50million being part of the equation it will be enough to tip the scales in to keeping dirty faced  matt for another season.

You could be right, but 50 million relative to Tepper's wealth, is like you or I finding loose change in our pockets.

It is also the cost of doing business and a tax write-off.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
