If I remember Eli wasn't really doing much here. He had an injury which he felt he couldn't play on, but Rhule and the training staff here thought he could, or something. They thought he was milking the injury (I dunno). Kind of what Antonio Brown claimed about Arians and the Bucs. I cant remember where I read that....

Anyway Apple is playing better now than he was here, and He's going to the Sb while Rhule (and most of the rest of us) will be watching it at home..

I always thought he was milking it too. But when even players like CMC are discouraged by HS coaching techniques…what can you say (yea speculation). And yea Apple is a drama queen borderline head case

Regardless you don’t talk to a player like that whatsoever. These aren’t children they’re men with families. Apple has made some boneheaded plays but he’s also made some impactful plays in the playoffs. 

Point is, someone was able to coach Apple into some worthwhile productivity, meanwhile we have a giant man baby as HC.

The fact that sports reporters have this thing they can do where they just print some dudes quote about another professional without comment from anyone else (Rhule in this case) just shows how it’s a form of sub journalism. 
 

Who knows if Rhule said it or not but Apple has basically zero credibility after getting cut at multiple orgs. So…Rhule’s thoughts were probably shared by a significant portion of the league. Secondly..What has Eli Apple done to inspire confidence in anything he says? Dude literally dropped off boards in the draft bc of character concerns, got cut from multiple teams bc of the same.

Not taking Rhule's side but "according to a very close source" means nothing.

Yeah.  All these articles about Rhule have been “anonymous sources.”  Yet most of our players have come out on record in defense of Rhule.  Something doesn’t add up.

guys we’ve been over this

players aren’t going to come on a record saying things like this and if you can’t understand why no one is going to be able to explain it

personally I find it hard to believe people just come up with this poo out of thin air just because

if that were the case I mean there is a poo ton of other things Joe Shmoe has said about Rhule that could be ‘reported’ and garner much more traffic

Have they (honest question), or have they said things in general support of the team and their teammates? Seems like it was more the latter than the former. Players weren't openly condeming Meyer in Jax either even when it was clear that he was terrible.

I'm just saying there is an inherent conflict of interest in players commenting on their coaching staff.

The fact that anybody thinks Apple “really showed him” is laughable. In the literal sense, yea sure….he plays. But he sucks and is an ass clown.

I can assure u no Bengals fans would be upset if he was off their team next year.

The bottom line is he’s gonna play in the Super Bowl after Rhule told him he won’t ever play again, and Matt Rhule lead a team to a 5-12 record. Maybe Matt Rhule doesn’t know sh*t.

Players have to say publicly they support any coach they have. It’s probably written into their contract.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
