Rhule: Sam Darnold will take a huge step this year

[Zod]

While they’re expected to add another quarterback, regardless, Rhule said he thinks Sam Darnold will “take a huge step” this year. Ben McAdoo will be a big part.

He's talking about "towards the door", right?

Haha I was about to say the same thing.

They're stuck with Darnold, for better or worse, most likely worse. They just need to do what they didn't do last year and that's have him compete with either a veteran or a rookie QB for the starting job.

I wouldn’t want Darnold teaching a rookie qb anything. Hopefully he’s not on this team this upcoming year.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep. That's why we were desperately trying to trade for Watson and we've been heavily scouting every QB in this draft class.

Rhule kiss of death.

 

goodbye Sam. We barely knew you.

I for one am surprised he didn’t say “Darnold sucks we made a huge mistake someone help”

Maybe Rhule should go back to ignoring the press.

[BurnNChinn]

I don’t think he really cares and if he gets fired he can go back to college. I can see that I don’t give a poo look all over his face. Rhule is not quitting and Tepper won’t fire him because he don’t want to be wrong. It’s a game with these two right now

Our actions say exactly that. Actions speak louder than words.

[Proudiddy]

Is this like the "can't wait to coach Cam Newton" thing?

I hope so. 

fug Sam Darnold.

Fitt's reputation is on the line with Darnold, and now he is doubling down by stating that Sam will make a huge step forward. Ok fine. If Sam does as Fitt predicts, then we're all going to eat a huge plate of crow. And that will be the best tasting crow we've ever had because we'll likely have a winning season in 2022.

On the other hand, if Sam poops the bed again then I want Fitt and Rhule gone. Nothing is more important than finding a franchise QB, and if they can't do it then why have them here?

Sam pooping the bed is bad for Rhule and his servant Fitt, but it actually will be an amazing win for us in 2023. High draft picks in 2023 will be like diamonds and gold with the QBs in that draft. We could trade down for a king's ransom, or take a shot at drafting a potential franchise QB.

We're in a position now where we're likely to fail into prosperity. Sam is more likely to poop the bed, so the odds are we're getting a rookie 2023 QB. If Sam turns a corner and becomes our leader and franchise QB, then that's a win as well. We're in a win - win situation so long as we DO NOT TRADE OUR 2023 1ST ROUND PICK.
