Only way we make the playoffs next year with rhule is if we somehow rebuild the oline in one off-season without a 2nd or 3rd rounder and get a qb that can compete now or get insanely lucky with a rookie qb who is good right out of the gate. He’s not gonna resign Cam. And even then I’m not sure rhule has what it takes.
 

That’s the problem though. He went so defense heavy in the draft and FA the past two years that it’s going to take multiple off seasons, not just one, to build this offense and you think he’s gonna be in the playoffs next year? We’re ranked 20th against the run after two off seasons of heavy defense. That’s bad. We were honestly better last year, playing a harder schedule and competing with playoff teams then we are this year with one of the easiest schedules in the league with more talent. Getting blown out by some of the worst teams in the league. This points to coaching being the main problem and how they’ve built the team.

What is the explanation for why we were better last year? Had the league just not figured us out yet? Did teams mail it in when they played us thinking it would be an easy win? I’m a rhule hater as much as the next guy but just curious.

Offensive implosion this year which is directly related to how rhule has handled the qb and oline situation. Teddy is mediocre but he was competent. Like a game manager should be. Sam was literally ruining games and the oline magnified his shitty play. Teddy obviously wasn’t the answer but he was a bridge to a legit qb. They thought Sam was the answer based on giving up a 2nd and 2 other picks and picking up his 18 mil 5th option. These are fireable offenses imo. Especially when they’ve been harping on this being a rebuild and then doing the exact opposite like we’re in win now mode. It makes no sense. 

the defense last year wasn’t great especially on 3rd down and run defense but they did make some crucial stops in critical moments. The only two games we got legitimately blown out was the saints last game of the year and the one Bucs game. We went toe to toe with the chiefs and packers.

I mean, @Gipetto could be right. Anything is possible. My thing is, like I said in another thread, "I don't think anyone here has a patent on perfection." So all the threatening to save posts is, well, a wee bit over the top. But, to each his own. 

I was one of the few who said that I'd give Rhule another chance as late as two weeks ago, but even I have given up on him, and that's saying something. I'm not going to repeat what IMO are his flaws, as others have already done that here, and I've done it into other threads, but suffice it to say that Rhule has earned his lack of support.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't get canned in January, but if he gets the opportunity to turn this broken ship around and actually does in 2022, I'll get in line to give him praise, and I'll even throw in some pie to you, G, in your I-told-you-so thread. That would be one helluva story, and I like redemption stories, but it's looking more like wishful thinking--a fairytale.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
