I'd take Flores. Tepper doesn't seem like the type that wants or would mesh well with a hardass that knows what he is doing though.

Dude played QB on a broken leg.

Lack of and predictable

listen, Matt Rhule was clear. If he had just gotten a 53rd snap he could of finally put another WR on the field. He was totally going to put the 1 WR Baker knows well on the field if he had gotten to 53 snaps.

I want CMC to get the touches he is paid to get. We shouldn't of paid him but we did. So give him the rock. Barkley, Henry, Taylor, Cook, etc all got over 20 touches this weekend. CMC isn't paid to get committee work. He could get hurt doing anything.

3 guys that have never returned a punt in college or the pros. Laviska apparently recovered a fumble once on a punt return and ended up scoring off it.

Matt Rhule seems more Vanilla Ice than Jay Z. Ice Ice Baby was Baylor. We are now in that Go Ninja Go Ninja Go Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle phase of the Vanilla Ice career trajectory.

Matt Rhule is a used car salesman. He says whatever he has to in the moment. Ben McAdoo has always thrown at a higher clip than Joe Brady did.

I'm a Shi fan....the WR prospect. But our punt returner is now a guy who has never returned a NFL or college punt in an actual game. That's always playing with fire.

Barkley just went for 164 yards at 9 yards a pop vs the Titans this weekend. He looks pretty healthy and the exact type RB we aren't built to defend. 238 yards on the ground as a team.

lmao I think there is a quote of Rhule somewhere addressing the QB/C fumble in preseason the one time we saw Baker. And yeah, even then he acknowledge the lack of work together Rhule just bullshitting and stealing money at this point

teams lose because they don’t know why they lose - Matt Rhule on Matt Rhule

lol. Matt Rhule bullshitting 24/7 That's why he fired Joe Brady right? Someone else called it in another thread. The Matt Rhule over correction game is coming next vs NY.

Browns blowing coverage was a pretty big difference. I mean, that is football though. But that was a big reason the O had success.

well....seems like a decent coach would prioritize getting him as many reps as possible. And as many reps as possible with his center. OL. WRs. Etc. Instead, we had a bullshit QB competition with the worst QB in the NFL over the last half decade.

I think Dallas will be more attractive for Payton and he goes there. Carolina will be a full rebuild. Dallas will have more workable parts.

Matt Rhule's weekly presser will probably be complaining that Joe Brady got away from the run and that we are supposed to be a running team.

and Horn is a rookie. Doesn't matter how much camp/studying/etc he has done. He has played in 4 NFL games to date against weak competition. Horn still has yet to see a good QB at the NFL level. Let alone a good QB paired w/ a good WR. I'm not worried about Horn or Icky. I do think we can start to judge Brown though.

Bonus stat! Carolina Panthers are on the road this week. This weekend, will mark a full calendar year since the Carolina Panthers have won a game in Charlotte, NC. currently working a 7 game home losing streak. Record I think is an 8 game home losing streak from 2001.

leaning on your new QB (who didn't get a starter work load going in) and not even putting the 1 WR he has legit chemistry with and knows on the field for a single snap.

I'd be okay with sending everyone on staff that came in with Rhule from Baylor packing after the first Tampa Bay game. GM basically brought in a staff where you can do it this past offseason.

He is a slow WR that can't get open. I don't think that is going to aid us. Is he athletic? Sure. But the Rioring Riot podcast basically summed it up. You have to scheme him up and do some sort of gadget play that CMC or DJ Moore could do better. And then it gets really predictable when you finally trot him out there because he will be coming out there for a play that requires you to scheme up something goofy. Meanwhile, you could just have Moore or CMC do it. Do it better. And it be less obvious to the D. Unless he can put on a headset and manage the game for us. He doesn't matter.

I mean that is where we are inevitably headed. The Matt Rhule era will be a pointless one. Basically, highlighted as a period where we did nothing but lose and paid CMC mega bucks. New HC will come in and do an actual rebuild. Get a QB. Build a roster/identity that has nothing to do with what Rhule bumbled around with for a couple years.

I don't see Rhule firing Snow. They are one IMO. Like LG said, he will need/want Snow when he goes back to college. and my pick for interim remains Tabor. Wilks my second choice. The college rah rah BS schtick doesn't work in the NFL. Corny dad humor? Who knows.
