I don’t think it’s his fault because you can’t really spend to win unless you are already in a position to win (like LAFC). With that said, I think Krneta deserves a lot of blame for the way the season shaped out. I think this team could have made the playoffs, the depth pieces are there. However, Krneta hired a coach and then brought four or so of his guys in… that coach was ultimately fired and his players are now gone. This team would have been in a much better position had they gotten the manager position right the first time.

For those interested Carolina fans, Ty Chandler’s career is off to a good start. 5 carries - 50 yards 1 kick return - 56 yards 106 all purpose yards

I feel like they will go fishing for a veteran offensive linemen once cut downs occur, however, if Pleasants has another good game this weekend then he might find himself on the active roster.

I’ll do a few that I suspect will find their way on to the practice squad as everyone has already hit on the others (Shi Smith, Brandon Smith, Xavier Woods,, Amare Barno, Higgins, Mays, etc.) 1. Austen Pleasants 2. Derek Wright 3. Taye Hayes

Actually saw a video of the incident on Twitter when I woke up this morning. You don’t see any graphic details in the video but you hear five or so gunshots.

All very good points, I also think there is something going on with Shinyashiki. Almost seems like they’ve given up on re-upping his contract and now he can’t get time on the pitch. Also agree with buying down Jozwiak and Alcivar. I’ve also enjoyed having an MLS team to root for, though I might as well be rooting for two because that’s how bad Man United has been to start the season. Good post.

I think this is a possibility as well. Tepper has been frugal since he bought the team. It wouldn’t surprise me if he has a serious issue paying a backup QB $20M.

Sam is so wholesome… compete like heck.

Hahah good find, yeah, I have a few friends who’ve already purchased his #8 jersey.

Back to 8. BB8.

I think at this point, if you still have faith in Rhule and his ability to evaluate players then you are a sheep or you just get your jollies off by being a troll. It goes all the way back to Baylor. During Rhule’s first year at Baylor it took him nine weeks to figure out that Charlie Brewer was the best QB on his roster. Anu Solomon (transfer from Arizona) was the day one stater that Rhule trotted out there in Baylor’s loss to Liberty. The second week rolled around and once again, Rhule trotted Solomon out there, Baylor lost to UTSA. By the third week, Solomon had medically withdrawn from Baylor, Rhule trotted out Zach Smith in a loss to Duke. Smith would go on to start week four and five. Brewer finally saw action in week six but he would continue to split in-game reps with Smith until week nine. Brewer finally received all the reps in week nine against Kansas, Brewer led Baylor to their only win that year. In Rhule’s second year, he would continue to split reps, this time between Brewer and Jalan McClendon. In Rhule’s final year at Baylor, he once again started the season by splitting reps at the QB position. Both Charlie Brewer and Gerry Bohanon would split reps for the first few weeks. Brewer eventually won the job and took Baylor to the Big XII Championship. All this to say, it took Rhule three years to finally settle on the guy who was responsible for the one good season that he had in college. Funny enough, Brewer is now trying to become the heir to Malik Willis at Liberty. As for Rhule, the guy simply cannot evaluate talent.

Howell? He had one of the bottom three OL’s in all of college football last year and lost all of his weapons (outside of Josh Downs) to the NFL (Dazz Newsome, Dyami Brown, Michael Carter, and Javonte Williams).

Where else was Baker going to go? Let’s not pretend like Seattle, they obviously aren’t interested in adding a QB. The whole leverage thing was BS coming from the media. Mayfield and the Browns relationship was fractured and the Browns were trying to sell him to us, we said no until the Browns had no choice but to give him away for free. Additionally, how does Corral get up to speed with three reps a day in TC… I’m tired of repeating myself but I regress… Head ball coach Matt Rhule says you only get better with reps. You’re acting like Corral is some sort of mental midget, there’s no reason for four QB’s to be on this roster. I wish Walker and Darnold nothing but the absolute best but this is a damn circus. I hope they go on to have great careers elsewhere but this is Mayfields team and when they aren’t pouring into him they need to be pouring into Corral. If Mayfield goes down then we are fuged anyway and if by that point Corral still isn’t ready then call up one of the 30 other QB’s that are about to be out of a job in a couple of weeks.

Corbett better not get to comfortable. Mays will come in and snatch his job if he’s not careful. Pleasants also might snatch a position up. Just based off of yesterday I’d go. LT - Ekwonu LG - Christensen, Brown C - Bozeman, Tecklenburg RG - Corbett, Mays RT - Moton, Pleasants Would probably want to add a veteran after cut downs and move one of Tecklenburg or Brown to the PS.

If that’s the case then once again, the organization looks like a poo show, you don’t keep someone around your organization that you constantly have to clean up after.

Running an offense and delegating reps and assignments are two different things. It’s called corporate America. The understudy does all the work while the boss tells him what to do and takes credit for his work.

Is it even McAdoo’s plan? How do we know it’s not Rhule’s? Rhule seems to be the hands on guy that likes to double check his employees work to make sure they didn’t deviate from the way he likes things done. Like I said in another thread. Walker shouldn’t be blamed for being on the team and going out there and giving his best, I think there’s a place somewhere for him in this league whether it be a QB3 or on a PS. With that said, the coaching staff is butchering the handling of every single one of these QB’s. I can honestly sit here and tell you that if there’s a plan no one can decipher it. That’s why we are having this conversation right now.

Do explain cause I’m lost… I thought Corral was the rookie and needed to be brought along slowly… not Baker. Maybe I’m misreading.

That proves my point lol… so don’t draft Corral… if the plan all along was to acquire Mayfield then don’t waste a pick on a player that you aren’t going to spend time developing. As I mentioned, the team still has a hole at EDGE, we could have certainly used that third rounder there. If you believe everything you are saying then in reality you are admitting that we either fugged up in the draft or we fugged up in handling the QB situation.

If Rhule wants to conduct auditions he needs to go be a judge on America’s Got Talent. How does Corral become ready? Certainly not with three reps a day in training camp? If there’s a safe space for Corral to learn it’s going to be the preseason. Additionally, why does a veteran QB need to… check notes… get reps to play on the practice squad… The team and coaching staff is a mess and every excuse you make backs it up.

Only mistake Mays had was a false start. Have to think he will provide great depth.

Liking quite a few of those guys with high snap counts for our practice squad: Walker (Rhule’s guy), Brown (Spencer), Kirkwood, Wright, Pleasants, Scott, Jordan (Drew), McQuall, Hayes, Dawson, STOIII, etc..

And you know this how? You are in team meetings? So what’s the plan with Walker to put him on the practice squad? Why does a team need to give reps to four QB’s? How often do teams cycle through four QB’s in a season? Newsflash, not often. If the plan was to acquire Mayfield all along and have Darnold be the $20M backup then you don’t waste a third round pick on Corral, instead you address another need like DE… everything you say makes our coaching staff and organization look more idiotic. If a coach can’t do two things at once then he’s not a good coach, no way around it bub.

QB MATT CORRAL On what he will takeaway from his first NFL game: "We just had to have better communication. Regardless of who's out there, we always say we want to play completely clear and concise with complete communication. We were all over the place out there." This just screams that we have a rookie QB that’s not being developed properly. Corral should have been put in positions in practice to work on communication, instead he was getting three reps a day. If you can’t manage a QB competition and a QB’s development at the same time then you don’t need to be an NFL head coach, plain and simple.

No one with brain cells is even advocating for Corral to be the backup… The point is, the QB1 competition should have been long over (along with the OL competition). Dragging it out this long makes the team look inept and is not helping the players in the slightest. The first game should have gone very similar to the way the Titans handled their reps. Corral gets a lot of reps early and then the backup (Darnold or Walker) comes in during the third or fourth quarter. The next game, QB1 comes in and plays the entire first half with the first team OL, the backup (wether it be Darnold or Walker) then comes in and plays the third and Corral comes in and plays the fourth. The final game, the backup (Darnold or Walker) plays the first half and Corral plays the second half… This isn’t some sort of rocket science and it’s also not some sort of plot to make Corral QB1. It’s about maximizing reps for everyone in a short period of time. Instead, we are going into game two with our thumb up our asses and no idea who the starting QB, backup QB, or the starting OL is.. meanwhile, your HC is out here spewing stupid poo like, you only get better with reps but you have to produce with the reps you are given (which is a contradictory statement and impossible if you are looking at a rookie QB who is starting from ground zero).
