Everyone knows Rhule is desperate.

Damn...rock bottom here we are.

The worst part is that we all know that Rhule is going to give up future assets to try to save his ass.

 

And destroy any chance of us getting a good coach next season because draft capital and salary cap will be non existent.  Nobody will want to come.

How to avoid a disastrous offseason

Also from that article, under the heading of not using significant resources to acquire mere competence at quarterback:

Having said that, if you don’t have one of those guys (i.e. a franchise quarterback), you don’t just sit the season out. You look for someone competent who can buy you time. The key is you shouldn’t commit significant money or draft capital when doing so. The way the league is set up right now, you can find someone like Teddy Bridgewater or Gardner Minshew at a reasonable price. That’s much more preferable than coughing up $25 to $35 million per year and/or draft picks for a player who might have a higher floor but still has a relatively low ceiling. Moves like that aren’t going to get you very far anyway, and you’re probably going to end up regretting them.

Sad part is we didn't find Teddy Bridgewater at a reasonable price either, $30m for one year of play.

If we keep Sam this year the total 3 year cost of Teddy and Sam will be:

$56m ($30m for Teddy, $20.6m for Sam) a 2nd, 4th, and 6th. 

(I didn't even include the potential 3rd round comp pick we lost out on by signing Teddy)

Scary part is the tab isn't closed yet.  If we add another QB this year you can add that to the 3-year total.

So they saying we should have kept Teddy, that’s funny.

Why is Tepper willingly embarrassing himself to this degree? It really is awful to be a fan right now. I can’t imagine many players will want to come here.

Drafted or FA. We got the litter of the coaching barrel (partially retired & recently fired) and really nothing to speak of other than Chinn (who they don’t use correctly), Burns (sack artist) and DJ. 

This team sucks.

Yeah I was just saying it’s funny because they know more than our staff. I didn’t like Teddy either but if I knew before that was the plan was to get Darnold, I would have been hell sign me up for another year of Teddy two gloves.

Yes.

And I hated Teddy.   But if the answer was Teddy or Sam, it's Teddy.  (and I thought Sam would have been an upgrade).  Because we sank double $$$ and incredibly valuable draft capital.

 

We'd be sitting good with a lot more cash and draft picks if we just kept Teddy for 2021.

I don’t know why everyone ask for sources anymore. I mean their was a legit source that said Tom Brady was retiring and they called him out saying he was wrong. I don’t trust anyone of them.

Rhule is willing to sale the farm to get above. 500 this year.
