Because we have to hang onto every sliver of hope. It's all we have man. Otherwise it's going to be a very long depressing offseason before a long depressing season.

4 1sts dude. We've got to move up to 1 to get Pickett.

Who would Washington and Pittsburg be moving up for? 1st and 2 2nds and 2 1sts seem awful steep considering the talent at the QB position.

He was probably just thinking Hey Robby drop it. You've been doing that all year anyway

I've said before I wonder if it's how he sees it. I know from personal experience, I was trying to understand how a particular type of valve works and I could not get it no matter what. Everyone around me got it, but I couldn't. Then I stopped trying to understand the valve like everyone else was doing and instead tried to understand how fluid moved through the valve and it clicked. Not only could I understand that valve, I could understand any version of that valve. I'm not saying Darnold will ever have one of those moments, it's just watching him never progress it looks like he's stuck much like I was. Of course with Gase and Rhule leading him, he looks worse now than ever. I don't know if he does or doesn't have it, and frankly I don't want to wait anymore to find out. Maybe McAdoo can help him, maybe not. Unless he has dramatic improvement by week 17, it's either cheap backup or hit the pavement.

I understand the spirit in which it was intended. Unfortunately ingrained racism isn't something you can just RR out of existence with some of these owners. What I would really like to see is the NFL push apprenticeship or more assistant type roles for players that are interested in making the transition or for those that maybe lack the physical talent to play but have the intellectual gift but have a harder time finding the opportunity to get involved. There's always going to be hate and it's such a stupid thing. We're all fingers on the same hand. We may look different but we have to work to make it all work.

Greg was always better than Troy Aikman

I feel happy and disappointed at the same time. Happy he's staying at Michigan, disappointed Rhule is staying here.

It's for show. If you're being called for an interview, how do you know if it's because you actually have a shot or if you are just there to fulfill a quota? I don't know what the solution is, but when the rule was implemented, it was pretty obvious that it was going to come to this at some point.

I don't recall another candidate ever having the level of scrutiny surrounding why he hasn't been hired as a HC as Eric Bieneimy. It's possible he didn't have a good interview with the Falcons. This was put out last year after he interviewed with the Falcons. Again, how much truth there is to that I don't know but it isn't unheard of for someone to have a bad interview. Sticking your coach with a QB he doesn't want could make him hard to work with. But then again, Ross is one of the worst owners in the NFL and I would much easier believe that Ross was hard to work with than the other way around. Before Rhule was hired, I thought we should have interviewed Bieniemy. You can have a poor interview and it not be any reflection of your ability to do the job. Matt Rhule evidently nailed his interview to the tune of 60M and look at what he's doing. Bieniemy and Flores (if possible) are 2 of the names I am hoping we interview if Rhule ever hits the bricks. I think both could be capable of doing well given a good GM and the proper talent. Will that materialize. Who knows. But if I'm trying to build a winning franchise and make it worth even more money, then yeah, I'm looking at every possible candidate.

I think the biggest detriment to Bieniemy getting hired as HC has been Reid. Reid has always been a QB whisperer. Plus it's never really been determined exactly how much of the offense Bieniemy is responsible for on game day and how much is Reid. I think he should have had a shot by now, especially over some of the guys that have gotten one including our own illustrious leader. I also remember reading that he didn't interview particularly well and interviews are important. How much truth is there to that? Who can say for sure. But after being around one of the great QB minds in KC, I'd love to see him be able to impart some of that knowledge here if the position happened to be made available. P.S. I will happily donate a snow blower to Mr. Rhule for his new driveway in Ann Arbor.

First, try and get a minority group as buyers for the Broncos. Then consider adding 4 more franchises all to be minority owned if and only if there are enough qualified applicants for the Broncos franchise. Those owners will then have the ability to hire those they feel are qualified to do the job, regardless of color, opening the door for more experience and candidates in the future.

I'm a Wolverines fan so this would be mixed feelings for me. The only thing that can even come to mind would be one of those twisted lifetime movies where the guy finds the woman of his dreams only to find out they were both adopted and are long lost siblings.

I've never been a fan of the Rooney rule. I've been a fan of hiring the best guy for the job period. There's only 1 Lombardi trophy to win every year and I'll be damned if I wouldn't be hiring the most qualified or the guy with the right vision and plan on how to get there.

Well he's already proven he can go 5-12 and that may be good enough to win the NFCS next year.

Daniel Snyder really needs to let someone else make the decisions.

I'd rather have a SB trophy nudge Ala the great Manning send off of SB50.

Flores is one of the guys I really wanted to see brought in if Rhule bolts for UM. I don't know if that is possible now. If Rhule does bolt, it just proves this franchise is even a bigger shitshow for missing out on the top candidates to keep a guy who didn't want to be here.

True. But most NFL coaches don't come out and openly say it making themselves look like even bigger jackasses.

Hurney gave Little a 1st round value. Anyone that watched the combine had him sliding to day 3 or UDFA.

LT are easier to identify. We had this year's 2nd team all pro LT identified as a guard. See how easy that was.

And most of the time the 5 year old ends up kicking your ass.

It was pretty much announced afterwards when Talib said he was to trying to injure Philly Brown and all he got was a 25k fine. Players got suspended for bountygate. Talib laughs about doing it and gets a slap on the wrist.

I think we could possibly have had good drafts. I also think it's possible Rhule may have the uncanny ability to neutralize own players better than any opposing coordinator ever could. I thought Rivera was bad at putting players in positions to succeed but he is an amateur compared to Rhay-Z.
