Darnold’s job was to What?!

Rhule was out there today acknowledging chemistry issues.  We keep seeing botched Baker snaps under C.   

I mean, yeah, Baker goes quick.  All our Cs need as much time with out new starter as possible to get it down.  Instead we had Sam taking starter reps 

And I've noticed that too...  the flaws that many of us here constantly seem to call out, it's like he realizes it weeks to months later and then acknowledges the additional issues it caused.  All those things really are why so many here are hard on him.  We had out issues with Ron and his seeming stubbornness, but this isn't stubbornness with Rhule.  It's so frustrating because it comes off as being clueless.

I just watched this live, he said his job "GOING FORWARD" was to support Mayfield. 

Mayfield also said a few minutes after talking about the eventuality of the decision that it could be him in Sam's shoes and he would have been the same way Sam is, which is team first.

So classic for the huddle to cry about random meaningless things like player/coach quotes that are just completely standard…

My thought pretty much. It's like he's searching through the playbook on Madden trying to find just the right play only to hit ask Madden anyway.

Clueless or stubborn. It`s semantics. In the end both still hurt the team by not doing what needs to be done.

Exactly. When a bunch of armchair experts are constantly 2-3 steps ahead of the HC it makes sense the players quit on him twice last year. Rhules inability to assess and adapt on the fly must be maddening for the people who work for him.

So while this whole dam QB Competition Charade dragged on.

apparently Darnold’s job was to……..

 

 

 

 

Wait

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“to support Baker, and help him get ready.”

 

 

 

So why the heck did we drag this crap out.  Those reps that Mayfield could’ve had with the 1st string WR and OL would’ve nice and helpful.

It’s his job moving forward….reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit is it?

Good part of all of this is that both QBs handled this well.  They both said all the right things.  So far I am pleasantly surprised with Baker.  We have not seen any of the stuff that we heard about from Cleveland. Just hope I am even more impressed with him on Sept 11.

Sam is a bro. He’s just a shitty NFL starting QB. He probably has 10 more years as a top level backup QB if that’s what he wants. There’s only 32 starting QBs in the NFL, and like half of them are not great. It’s a tough gig.

I wish I could read the word "rep" more.  Who knew there were so many "rep" management experts here?  What a time to be on the huddle

Almost as bad as “narrative” and “take” 🤣 like y’all don’t work for ESPN so let’s chill with the journalist lingo

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • 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.
