Yay! No idea this was a thing in this deal but can't say I am surprised. Good find.

So much money wasted. Swept under the rug or was anyone tagged with that?

But that process lol

They all stunk last year. I just wouldn't try and prop up Rhule unless you want to use Urban. That was the one coach that was actually worse than Rhule. Hell, flip it and ask yourself if Brady was working for Reid would he have improved? Maybe. That also says a lot about that situation...

My limited understanding is that the county may step in and do what Rock Hill couldn't or wouldn't do to make it happen...they just have to beg and renegotiate with Tepper. Maybe this is a little in motion and good faith in those discussions? IDK, trying to make sense of governments is a path to insanity from what I have seen.

Didn't they already pull the project? And Rock Hill is moving forward with the interchange? Wow, never done business in SC but it sounds wild as hell lol.

I absolutely agree with that but it only supports what I said about Rhule and his other people. That was what made Rhule hire outside of his Baylor flunkies. That is on Rhule, just like Rhule is on Tepper for being clueless. I said I liked his upside and he was way overpromoted. I can't say anything that positive about Rhule. I really don't know how else to say about it.

Meh, you way overvalue his college work. Most of it sounded like poor offenses and Snow's D. Lol fix it with McAdoodoo? More like settled for the desperate coach looking to get back into a real job after having to consult last year. The good coaches wouldn't take the job, remember that? You make it sound like we got a great coach when it was a guy no one else wanted to hire. But he has NFL experience? LOL that the bar has to be that low to make Rhule look good. I never made Brady into more than a promising coach with way too little experience for that job with upside, the love you speak of is in your mind alone. The fact you are comparing Rhule to that is all that needs to be said. He isn't worth propping up but as a salesman. His coaching has been terrible. His running of the organization has been terrible. He just isn't a good NFL coach let alone an NFL HC. His record supports all of this.

Brady wasn't ready but he also didn't get the support to be successful here. I fully expect to see him again at OC in the NFL after he spends time with a much better staff and picks up some much needed experience. In the end, it all falls on Rhule. It was his scheme, his QB and his massive failures as a HC that led the way in 2021. Pretending it was all Brady just let you know you the level of BS you are looking at. Hell Rhule is still building a run game around CMC. SMDH, some people never learn.

Remember when some people would go crazy when Hurney was called a failure? 14 years, he is doing something right. Turned out very true, we are still dealing with his mess lol. Or that Ron just couldn't change, he still doing the same old up in Commieland. Rhule hasn't shown jack in this department that I can see. The most I can think of him doing directly is coddling Sam last year and that was not a positive in any way. I hope Wilks can coach up the DBs, he used to be very good at that job. Probably oline, tho I don't know how much that guy has left in the tank at this point in his career. Not sure on the rest of the position coaches. As far as Rhule, he appears all mouth and little of quality anywhere else. That may sound rough or an attack but it is as nicely as I can say it. Hell appears to be a salesman and little else in my eyes.

Because with Sam we all know that Corral will get his shot and plenty of it. We already spent that money and picks on Sam, just play him for a few weeks and see if Corral is ready. If they both stink it up, pick in the top 5 and try again.

I'm not sure we have improved the run D and also that the pass rush took a big step back with Riddick gone. Still looks like we are heavy at DB and skimpy on the front 7, at least on paper. Lot of stuff could changes this but I'm not one to bank on improvement until it happens. Brown, YGM or someone else could turn the corner in a big way...it just hasn't happened yet.

Everything Rhule has done and said leads me to believe he is exactly who he has been accused. Just a very unlikable human and coach to me. The thing is that everything you state is on the bases of Rhule and Co like everyone is on the same page. I'm not sure I can get on board with that at this time. Also, as much as I wish I couldn't say it, I still don't know Tepper even knows how bad Rhule is and how poorly he set this all up in Rhules hands via Marty's meatballs. IDK, lots of assumptions. In the end, I can not wait to get rid of Rhule. It was like that with me with Marty so seems natural for Marty's last big move, at least to me. Rhule is a clown and Tepper just has no idea yet. Nothing has really changed there except we got a fugging franchise LT finally!!! But no, Rhule is still a big mistake we haven't finished making yet.

What about other guys we could have used that 19 million on this year? That deal had more to give than just draft picks. Being able to keep Riddick comes to mind. I'm hopeful but I am not convinced we replaced him adequately yet.

Sounds great. Another box checked. Anybody else not hear a damn thing about BPA vs needs since we picked at 6? Huh, weird how they are trying to do both this year yet some said it shouldn't be done.

I think so. Ichey and Neal were close. I have heard multiple times it is easier to teach pass blocking than run blocking. If that is at all true then we absolutely did. I have seen nothing to indicate Ichey can't be the day 1 starter at LT and a really good one sooner than later. Rhule wanted a run first team last year, I expect him to get it this year behind a much improved line that can actually push in the run game.

Yes but also an amazingly low bar still. On game day Rhule is still in charge until he isn't. Looks like roster control has shifted some but they have zero control during a game.

No but it should be more fun to watch this year than last. I still think hope shows up next year but Rhule has to go. He is the turd in the punchbowl no matter the moves we make. Ickey is a stud, I'm hoping for pancakes!

Nothing has changed for me and I was vocal about it pre-draft. Fug Matt and get a franchise QB in 2023. That is the win this team needs. I can't even pretend anymore that it will work itself out this year, nothing left there for me. We got our LT, that is what I am celebrating which is everything since I never saw a path to a QB this year. This is just meh, I get it but whateves.

All about that run game. Boring but effective. Meh in a dream world McAdodo can start him after working with him when he takes over from Rhule who gets fired mid season and we still pick in the top 10 with a solid D, oline and running game. That is the fugging win I want to see!
