I know positive talk about Coach Rhule is frowned upon and so many need a scapegoat so they take all their anger out on him but his players and coaches really do seem to like playing for/coaching for him. I’m on record as to giving Coach Rhule the benefit of the doubt this year. I know I’m moreso in the minority in regards to fans but it’s good to see that the locker room is tight.

The guy that has never stuck anywhere else in the NFL and was only active on Rhule's roster 4 years into an NFL career, and who came from Rhule's Temple after they were the only ones to offer him a scholarship as he transferred away from Florida, has nice things to say? Who could've guessed.

Look, people can be nice and intelligent but that doesn't mean they're good at actually implementing said information. The past 2 years have spoken louder than words, as this year will as well.

So let me get this right… a guy who has played for exactly one NFL team thinks every team runs the same thing… yet Mayfield, who just came from a different team, is stating that this offense is unlike anything he’s seen… Not to mention, Cam stated last year that he put himself in a bad situation by not giving himself enough time to learn the playbook.

Concepts might be the same because there’s only so many different things you can do on the football field but to say that everything is the same is asinine.

Thompson was with Jacksonville and Chicago as well to some degree (practice squad, TC, etc), but those were hardly offensive masterminds the last few years. I'm sure he's a great guy in real life but I take his words with large grains of salt.

I think it comes down to what you said, I’d stick up for my meal ticket as well. Thompson is still on the practice squad and I’d imagine making $200K a year to be a PS player beats making 50K a year working at Enterprise.

Lots of coaches are nice humans that players like.  And the NFL is a talent driven league.   Nothing there really to dispute. 

The number one knocks on Rhule are his vision and eye for things have been bologna.   The manner in which he has gone about building things.  And he isn’t a good game day manager.  

I mean he can be a nice guy that players like as a human.  That’s not the thing people bash Rhule on.

Yes, it’s time to see the mythical “year 3” of Rhule’s tenure. We heard so much about it 

The whole 'Year 3' thing is ridiculous but what gets left out of that take is that his prior teams also notably improved in record from years 1 to year 2. Carolina not only did not improve their record in year 2 but were notably worse on the field vs year 1.

Rhule has given his boy a hookup he otherwise wouldn’t have. Dude wouldn’t even be in the NFL at this point. Of course he’s gonna talk about how great Rhule is and enjoy his free ride.

Not all players get that or feel that way on this team. There was quite a bit of eye rolling going on with Rhules various college antics and group exercise punishments.

      Not suggesting Moton be jettisoned. Just wondering how much longer he's around. Possible, but you never know. I think that's Christensen's role.

      Canales needs to develop.  As someone said when he was hired, it was a good hire a year or two too early.  Give him time.  At a minimum, we need to develop the talent we have on the roster.  If Canales isn't the guy to be your head coach, let him coach while you build talent.  Make the job more appealing until you get the guy you wanted all along. Or heck, maybe Dave becomes a better coach by the end of year two.  Dave has some serious cuteness issues with the plays he calls.  Get smart, give it to Chubba.  That will fix a lot of those issues.  Let Bryce push the ball down the field - see what happens good/bad/ugly.  Over all, we just need ownership to be patient and give the football guys a chance to build the roster.

      well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.    It's the NFL. I big picture don't care if Canales is a rookie HC.  There are 32 of these jobs in the world.   Given what we have the most expensive OL in the league.....we should be better offensively than last year.
