Rhule on QB struggles yesterday

In the course of your career experience, you've probably met one or two management types who can randomly spout off some really smart sounding statements.

Yet they don't seem to be terribly successful, and you find yourself wondering why.

The reason? While they might sound smart, but they might not really be smart.

They know the right things to say and all, but in their mind they haven't actually put it all together.

That's the impression I get of Matt Rhule.

When is he going to start spouting off these smart sounding statements? Because all I've heard and seen is a bunch of dumbassery.

Fair point 😆

In all seriousness, Rhule is capable of saying things that sorta kinda make sense in his pressers. And heaven knows he can give a motivational speech.

Having good players, giving rousing speeches and employing assistants who take care of the true legwork is enough to be successful at the mid-tier college level.

In the NFL? Not so much 😕

And yet again, an utterly awful way of saying something. If you HAVE to say something then say things are gelling, say the team is continuing to practice and sync up, but don't say something like this. It's just flat out dumb and he does it time after time after time.

this isnt me defending rhule, this is me calling out these media types for not adding context. If you listen to the presser, he is complementing Baker and how he picked up the offense in less than 40 days....

If that's the case then yeah, Ellis is doing a disservice by framing a quote like that. I posted my thought but if your context is correct, that does change the frame.

You missed the point where he crated a fake competition that was settled at the trade and wasted a big portion of that time frame much like he did with Ickey. That is the context here. 

Vet QB learning basics of the playbook? Ok. Maybe scheme a run first game to help them out, especially since they are known for needing it. Or start the game with help for the rookie at LT going agaisnt one of the best DEs. Maybe throwing some playaction that the QB they traded for has a positive history with. Just some more context being discussed

Baker didnt struggle yesterday due to a playbook though... he struggled bc the Browns knew to stand up at the line, and we couldnt stop Garrett. We also had 2 costly penalties that killed drives. 

The competiton didnt effect whether Baker was here for 40 days or 1 day. Baker has been here since he was traded for.

    • More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too. 
    • I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.
    • That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
