Breaking news.  Team with no LT finally announces the #6 overall pick and first lineman drafted is the LT. 

Would not even be news if we had a competent coaching staff. As is, was a question mark. Headline should have read:

Coaching staff finally does super obvious thing even armchair mouth breathers could get right.

In other news: the sky is blue, water is wet, women have secrets.

Great news...now do QB next because it is even more obvious already.

Floundering head coach goes into preseason with 4 QB's on the roster and gives meaningful preseason reps to the only one that a brain dead lemur on crack can see won't be on the team come opening day.

No reporter asks meaningful questions about this.

Feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t hate how this was handled. 99% of his reps were at LT all camp and he was named the starter before preseason week 2. I don’t think it was the worst thing in the world to not just give it to him right of the bat. Yeah we all knew he’d be the LT but doesn’t hurt to at least act like there is some sort of earning that had to be done for a rookie. 

 

Rhule has a lot of head scratchers but this seems pretty normal to me 

I mean yeah, but at this point I'm just venting my ire at the man who killed my love of the team. 

Remember, keep your focus on what matters here:

Me.

But there is no earning. Rhule is incompetent and has not been able to put any worthy competition there. Announcing it now is better than holding off just for that point and basically give the youngsters the impression you’re an idiot, although I am sure Rhule will prove it to them eventually anyways.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
