Let's go! To be contenders we are just 1 top draft pick away... +1 more +1 more +1 more +1 more +1 more ... ok we are only 6 top draft picks away. That shouldn't take too long giving away all out draft capital for failed or used up 1st round picks from the past, right?

Has no one updated Tepper that it is now a 9-8 league? And Rhule is not even an 8-9 coach. You have to hope really hard to see him as an 8-9 coach. The man is a 6-11 coach who may break into the 9-8 ranks in 3 or 4 more seasons of losing.

In this modern NFL, you have to build around a core of 9 (5 offense and 4 defense). So, do we have 9 players to build around that can lead and be a threat with the run and the pass? I believe CMC, Cam, Abdullah, and Christensen LT can be built around. Use CMC and Abdullah as receiving targets. Shaq OLB and Chinn SS on defense. Draft Devin Lloyd MLB and Tyler Linderbaum C to be franchise anchors/leaders. Draft John Ridgeway NT to plug the middle and develop into a DL leader to build the run stopping game around. I've been watching Ridgeway since he was at Illinois St. Looks like he may rise up the draft boards after his Senior Bowl game. Ridgeway can unlock Brown's potential. Draft Leddie Brown RB and Zach Tom OL as key rookie compliments. (All 5 of these players will be immediate impacts coming out of the draft imo. A few of them have been overlooked, but I would not be shocked to see any of them rocket up draft boards) Sign David Njoku TE to build around. Add Jesse James TE for a 3 TE rotation with Tremble. Bring back Trai Turner G. Look for a QB with the X-Factor to groom behind Newton (I'm looking closely at Aqeel Glass for 2022). Could be this year or in the next couple seasons. No rush to find them and does not matter where you find them (top 3 rounds, 6th round or on the street). A vet much better than Cam would have to come free to make a significant improvement. OL Would be Christensen, Turner, Linderbaum, Tom, and Moton. Yeah. I know the front office has traded away the future of the team in draft picks. Fitt needs to correct his mistakes and trade down and accumulate draft picks using any of the players of value I have not mentioned. Could get 2 late 1st round picks, 2 second round picks, and 2 to 3 3rd and 4th round picks if he is as good at trading/dealing as some believe he is. We will see. Taking teams overvalued players in season is one thing, selling overvalued players for draft capital and trading up to accumulate picks in the draft is pro level GM. Most importantly... get rid of Rhule! I don't get my way though. If I did, we'd have Beane and McDermott running the team. Carson Wentz (trade), CMC (draft), Jonathan Taylor (draft), Stefon Diggs (draft), Jarvis Landry (draft), Hunter Henry (draft), and Corey Linsley (draft) would anchor/lead the offense. Shaq (draft), Eric Kendricks (draft), Tyrann Mathieu (draft), Eddie Jackson (draft), Osa Odighizuwa (draft) would anchor/lead the defense. (All players I wanted to be drafted with the ability to lead at the NFL level) My wish list, and I doubt it will ever happen.

If Rhule is fired this season, then I will look at the season as a success

Sam Darnold can't even look good in garbage time against a 2nd team defense playing a soft zone play after play.

Rhule was just focused on trying to make Darnold look like the clear #1 QB. He clearly failed at that too as a HC.

Darnold is trash against a soft zone 2nd string defense

Rhule fought for one second for one more play fo Darnold. smh

Rhule wanting to pad Darnold's stats so they don't look terrible?

Rhule just wants Darnold to look good so there is no more QB debate. That won't happen though... and Rhule will look confused as to why Darnold can't look good in his system

Watch Matt Rhule go talk to Blain Gabbert on the field after the game ends

PJ going to get some time too now? Sam is who we thought he was

Darnold has been serving up balls for INTs and when it is 4th down he takes the sack?

Darnold can't even look good against soft zones in garbage time

Text book Darnold

Darnold just taking what the umbrella defense is giving him and playing into what the Bucs coaches want... just run the clock for the Bucs Sam. Your former HC approves. Definitely not how to win as a QB

Bucs playing soft zones now. Darnold better look good with that D being called

Robby Anderson slowing down to look back for the ball? I don't get it

Measurables are all about mitigating risks Intangibles are all about providing opportunities The scout who can hit on intangibles is the one who succeeds in the NFL Intangibles > measurables any day in the NFL

Darnold pick 6 style

Darnold trying to throw picks

This is where Rhule realizes for the first time that the DC he faces was the coach who lost his job with Darnold and knows Darnold better than Rhule.

Darnold identified the wrong LB as the Mike. Mike came through the gap free since Darnold screwed up the run blocking call.

Darnold got the Mike call wrong lol Even the guy he identified as the Mike was confused and shrugged... no not me Sam. It's that guy pressing the line to hit the gap

Soon we will be seeing the Rhule 3 QB system. 1st down QB, 2nd down QB, 3rd down QB... perfect system. It will work
