The IOL was bad and we went out day 1 of FA and got 2 overpaid, underwhelming FAs to go with our terrible C, and our sack factory Miller. We had the opportunity to address the IOL, we blew it. Rhule can't evaluate line talent worth a damn. Elfien and Irving are 2 of the premier offensive linemen in FA. Is there anyone else in the NFL that even had this as a thought?

I'm not disagreeing with that. My point is BC played better than Erving in preseason. BC should have been starting week 1. Best player on the field. Right now we would know, is BC a swing tackle? Can he start in this league? Are his arms really an issue and he needs to be moved inside to guard? Right now we should know the answer to these questions and we don't. BC could have been an all pro (not saying he is), but we would never know because Rhule refused to play him. That's why I say we're drafting for need. Because we wasted time determining whether or not BC was worth being our starter for no damn good reason.

The 2021/22 season was a good start

No but if the division sucks we don't want to go to the playoffs with a losing record. No moral victory for 1 and done and year 4 of Matt Rhule

I don't see us getting more than a 3rd and a 6th and exchanging 1sts if we don't drop below 12. We're just in a bad spot this year. We're desperate, we've wasted our 2nd, 3rd and 4th, not considered a great QB class, and have the Giants before and behind us. If there is a trade it will be on draft day after the 5th pick. I just don't think we're going to get the value we would typically see for the 6th pick.

Gotta have a trade partner that is willing to pay to move up. Unless these QBs wow at the combine, it will be an underwhelming trade if at all.

BC didn't look good at LG. I think he could make a good swing tackle if he's not long term starter material. I just hate being in the position of needing to draft a position because of incompetence.

This is what drives me crazy. We drafted a LT. We only played him 3 games and he looked ok. Could be good, could be bad. Who knows. We would if Rhay-Z would have started him. So now we need a LT in this draft, or do we? And we need Rhule's evaluation to select one, even though he couldn't recognize Slater's ability to play the position. It's not that I'm against drafting a LT. I just hate drafting one when we have one on the roster and have no idea whether or not he could effectively play the position long term. There's no reason to be in this position right now, but here we are.

Is McAdoo Rhule's Beyonce?

Matt Rhule still in charge? Yep, it's as bad as I think.

He probably wanted more than a 1 year hire and fired.

It really doesn't though because while Goodell says he wouldn't put him on the exempt list, public pressure related these allegations would certainly put him there if any team intended to actually start him. Houston wants 3 1sts plus starters. You can't give that up for a guy you're not 100% certain will be able to take snaps. You just can't. That said. We mortgage the farm and end up trading for Watson.

He probably thought all the remaining tackles were really guards that had been playing out of position their entire college careers.

As with anything, cost is key. That and whether or not he just wants a check or wants a shot at winning at this stage in his career.

Just wanted a reason to post it again.

I'm a Michigan fan but I'm not delusional. Recruiting is now much more difficult for them. Once the internet boomed, players didn't have to go to a big school to be seen. Obviously it helps, but they could be a backup at a school like Michigan or a top tier starter elsewhere. Then there is the football powerhouse that is the SEC and the optimal weather year round for young men looking to have a good time. I doubt Michigan will ever be really relevant long term again.

A 1st round pick for Jimmy G. Makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Rhule has been terrible at developing any player, not just Darnold. Most players on this team regressed. I think there may have been a window to fix Darnold with competent coaching, but that window is likely closed. Gase was terrible. Rhule has been worse. McAdoo, who knows what he can do, but I hold no illusions he will be able to correct Darnolds flaws. At this point, he's an 18m paperweight.

Charlotte and surrounding areas has a huge fanbase potential of those who have never really watched soccer, many of whom are Panthers fans. It is perfectly reasonable to expect the same standards from an owner from one franchise to another. Businesses are often associated with the owner and a substandard appearance in one will likely be associated with the same in another. Rhule has embarrassed himself with his comments and his coaching. By keeping Rhule, despite the team collapsing after 3-0 start, and stating the only way for Rhule to keep his job is hire a Rockstar OC, Tepper is telling potential fans he's not really serious about delivering a quality product. And if hes not going to at least attempt to deliver a quality football product, potential fans can expect the same for his MLS team. Same owner, same standards.

As a lifelong Wolverines fan, all I can say is please no. I can't take any more Rhule.

We are on our way all right.

We've got to run the ball more...

Hate the team. No Found a new level of indifference towards them? Yes

Is 50m worth the hate and contempt that's going to be directed at his soccer team? People are not going to invest emotionally into another team run by Tepper when he's running this one into the ground. Canning Rhule at this point makes more business sense than anything else given his 2-12 finish and the way the team performed down the stretch. Fans can't dictate business decisions but fans aren't the only ones who have noticed there is a gigantic lack of NFL HC ability currently.
