I would agree as he is a very convenient scape goat.  We will never truly know the degree of control Matt Rhule (he both claimed he was in control and that he was not in separate articles) actually had, but Tepper and Fitterer giving the man total control speaks to their decision making ability.   

he's more than a scapegoat and there is plenty of information out about the amount of control he had, and it wasn't control Fitt gave to him. Fitt walked into a situation where the coach had been given too much control. it was eventually rectified, but not after a lot of really poor choices had been made. 

it was Tepper (still green to the job of owning a football franchise) and hurney (who sucked as a GM) that gave rhule that control.

Henderson is the classic example that he has all the tools and traits but does he have the heart? I believe that was his biggest knock in the draft process coming out of Florida.

nothing pissed me off more about Henderson than watching him jog after the receiver instead of trying to at least make a play after getting burned

Yep. I think keeping an open mind on Fitterer for the past. He didn’t create it, I just don’t think I can place blame on him for doing his job in the course of all that. 
 

edit: oh yeah, that. jogging stood way out to me.  

If CJ gets better at playing, trade his ass while the value is high.

Yeeeeaaahhh...no.

More than one insider has pointed out that Matt Rhule was the one who most heavily coveted CJ Henderson. Likewise the pickups of Bridgewater, Darnold and Mayfield were all his idea.

Fitterer takes the blame for Darnold's fifth year option, but not the other stuff.

I'd add that Dan Arnold in Jacksonville hasn't exactly been anything special.

Dan Arnold is a free agent.

I read an article that basically described Evero's 3-4 (and so much could be  based on the personnel he had in Denver).  Basically, the Safeties are the studs of the secondary, and the CBs on the outside play a zone.  Maybe he thinks Henderson can handle that. 

Bet he wished he had safety help with Evans, that game pretty much sealed the deal on how ignorant our coaching staff was. God damn man everyone saw it and there was absolutely no adjustment made…

To be fair, and with the disclaimer that I'm definitely not a Rhule apologist, it looked that way to a lot of us.

Remember the absolute euphoria when we traded for Stephon Gilmore?

Yeah I still didn’t understand why people thought we were a playoff team. 
I mean we barely beat the Jets, barely beat the Texans and even though we blew out the Saints Darnold was showing his bad tendencies. Remember that interception were he pretty much just gave the ball to the D-lineman? 
He he was showing his bad tendencies in all 3 wins. Then the 4th game happened and like most backup QBs the clock struck midnight.

Meh. We received a 5th for Arnold which was fair imo. Giving the Jags a 3rd for a young and cheap CB isn’t the end of the world and I still view it as worth the risk. 

Yep. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You're never going to win it all without taking risks. Henderson presumably has one more year to figure things out. He just has a little more motivation.

Remember that time Rhule thought he had a playoff team after 3 weeks, traded for Henderson, and proceeded togo 2-12 the remainder of the season? I remember... 

Honestly those games always gave me a bad feeling when watching them. Like a time bomb waiting to go off. Which eventually it did. 
Something just never felt right.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
