I mean, Rhule leads the Vegas odds to be fired based on national perception of what we got cooking up in Carolina. It isn't a huddle creation.

Well, to me is just comes down to the structure of the college playoffs. It has been designed perfect for the ACC to date. A gift for Clemson. Who knows where it goes in the future.

I'm curious in the bigger picture. Clemson does a good job of having guys learn underneath to take over. Clemson's DL talent this year is great. Pending they stay healthy, anyone should look good with that talent. It will be interesting if they can get guys in without Venables and what the new guy does with his own recruits.

Some of it was probably just the reality that the ball in Sam's hands was making it hard to win games at a certain point. The Vikings game I think is where he finally conceded a normal offensive gameplan wouldn't work with Sam Darnold. Think the first play of the game was Sam throwing an INT. A complete pointless Sam INT. Probably the worst INT on the season. Sam went 17/41. We somehow managed to get back into that one. Rhule went on a big rant about running the ball post game there. But at that point it was over. We didn't have a strong enough run game to deal w/ the fact Sam Darnold was the QB. And everyone knew that we didn't want the ball in Sam's hands.

Jacoby is the starter though in reality given the suspension.

Dabo just sits around and comes up w/ corny nonense and sells the hell out of it. Somehow it works. I no longer question how it does. It's a mystery I quit debating long ago. and Dabo would be an utter failure as a NFL coach. Yet is a modern day college GOAT. His strengths don't translate. And that's okay. I still say Rhule is a knock off Dabo.

True. I'm a Clemson fan. You think Dabo's nonsense would come off well if we wasn't on some massive great run? Clemson fans would tire real quick if Clemson was winning 6 games each season under him lol. But he wins 10 games every year and has Clemson competing for Nattys. So it's funny and we laugh that it pisses others off.

I mean, this is no longer fun buddy. I knocked your projection game for the painfully bad Brian Burns remark. That's not where Rhule gets in his own way and the decisions he mindboggling struggles with. Nor how I knock him. He knows CMC is good. He knows DJ is good. He knows Burns is good. He can figure out the super studs. You ever heard me claim Rhule couldn't figure that out? Nah. Rhule struggles w/ the tiers of players that fall under superstar. The Teddy B tier. The Sam Darnold tier. The Baker tier. The PJ tier. That's probably 3 different tiers of players those 4 fall in. Maybe 2. I predicted Rhule would do something dumb with players that fell in some of those tiers. I might of guessed wrong but it was rooted in Matt Rhule's tenure as a HC. Silly, is your stance that Matt Rhule shouldn't be doubted and questioned. Again, the bar is on the ground and I concede he thankfully walked over it. Maybe he can keep baby stepping and dig himself out of the hole he rightfully should be viewed in currently.

In no particular order I think the OL has improved talent but I think the OL might still struggle. Young players, new players, lack of chemistry and work together, working with new QB, new playbook. Mix all that in a bowl and I doubt we see great OL play early on. Run defense (DL). Pass Rush. I think our ability to generate pressure without blitzing could be an issue. Until he shows up and proves he belongs after the league did away with him for the most part, I think Ben McAdoo has a lot to prove. His decision making in all areas looked bad when he wasn't under Tom Coughlin's thumb. And while not a green newb, McAdoo much like Joe Brady doesn't fit what Matt Rhule claims to want to be about. Matt Rhule seems to want Mike Shula if you listen to his talk.

I mean, your projection game needs work in all honestly.

the huddle has always been the huddle. And it has done pretty well given it has survived as we have gone into this heavy social media era of society.

Bringing up Matt Rhule is different than bringing up Joey Syle for example. Some thought he sucked. But he was K. Given the nature of Rhule's position and role, he is simply going to be relevant in a lot of different discussions about the team. 90% of the board doesn't have faith in Rhule per the polling here. Just accept that. Rhule would get bashed less in reality if the loud 10% wasn't demanding respect in every thread for him because someone makes a silly comment and alludes to not having faith in him.

I’d love to be as wrong about Matt Rhule as I was about Dwayne Jarrett. I’d love it. I give zero shits about being right when bullshitting about football. Dwayne Jarrett IMO has been my worst call of all time. He just needs more opportunity!!!! lol

Sounds like you need to go lecture the clowns who had a pointless QB battle that lasted all the way until today. Baker has had one preseason drive and it included a botched snap with whoever at C with an OL he may or may not be playing together come week 1. This should of been done in Spartanburg. correct and easy, isn’t obvious with Matt Rhule. Hence why this thread has to exist.

Good. The bar for Matt Rhule is literally laying on the ground and he managed to step over it on this one. I mean my kid could of taken care of this mind boggling dilemma for him the day Baker was signed Rhule fanboys high-stepping like Deion Sanders because Matt Rhule shockingly was able to tie his shoelaces. I’d be happy if Rhule keeps proving me wrong but the fact this thread even had to exist makes me doubt that.

Matt Rhule punting from the opponents 30 week 1? Who knows. But what is certain is there will be something.

I’ve been informed by Huddlers that is all Ben McAdoo’s doing. He is letting his great staff do whatever they see fit.

felt more like wallstreetbets on Reddit to me. as the start is basically not looking at roster and potential but finding a team with horrific odds first. Then rationalizing throwing money at it for some big payoff

I think he played on a very good defense. That helped. I do think was more of scheme centric DB but that applies to a lot of players. end of the day, I think his aggressive play style could be similar to a gunslinging QB. Especially in todays NFL. The style of play simply isn’t going to lead to consistent play. And the league is built for DBs to lose battles.

I love Cam but he is done. That said, Cam saved Rhule from being fired in season IMO last year and Rhule still couldn’t do him a solid to finish out the year lol.

Mercury Morris doesn’t want to see PJ get a chance because he knows what will happen.

Corral was developmental. Best case for him was always seeing the field late if the Rhule era officially imploded. Corral going to IR in my eyes just highlights the pointless mess ahead of Corral. We still have Sam and PJ on the roster. And you would have hoped Rhule would have moved on from some of the mess regardless if they added a developmental player or not.

Agree to disagree. as I said, I disagree with the notion that players and coaches ever attempt to lose a game. But front offices tank seasons intentionally. It’s just part of rebuilding once you hit a window where you actually want to rebuild. If you know a new chapter is around the corner….it doesn’t make a lot of sense to retain certain players with big contracts, make moves for guys that technically could make you better today, win now players don’t end up making sense….and you don’t use up resources/cap/add players the new coach/GM wouldn’t want. So you let guys go, you don’t add guys of substance and you allow your roster to get weak. Jets did it Sam’s last year in NY.
