how bored you gotta be to make a thread like this during a fun preseason ass whoopin.

Ass whooping on Bills backups, yeah

We were laughing at the Bills for trying to copy us and picking up our scrubs. Now we’re just hoping we can have a winning season while they’re thinking SuperBowl.

This has to stop, the guy can coach. End of story.  He had some struggles to start off his NFL career, but really who doesn't?   This is his 3rd year and time to shine, just watch as he takes off and takes this team to a place we have never been.  In 5 years his name will be up there in the top 5 easy if not the best coach in the NFL.  Buckle up and get ready for a wild fun ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rhule is that you?

Not enough receptions to go around, we’ll be a run based offense and probably need TE’s to block more than catch. I am fine sticking with our current options.

This is what I expected when we drafted Corral, or at least something half way there, not a complete dismissal of his development 

Look at how the Falcons coach talks about Ritter

 “A lot of lessons learned and I got high expectations for Desmond. So, we’re gonna be hard on Desmond because he’s a good player and he can take that kind of coaching. He understands we’re not waiting on him as a rookie. Like, we’re trying to speed him up. So, he made some good throws. There’s some things he’s got to clean up, especially in the operation.”

It’s only preseason but this hurts my soul  

Highest QB Rating among rookies this preseason

Kenny Pickett         138.6 
Skylar Thompson   121.3
Desmond Ridder     98.0
Brock Purdy             86.0
Malik Willis              80.5
Bailey Zappe            72.1
Sam Howell              69.1
Matt Corral              49.3

As a reminder, Simms had him as the top QB in the draft. Can’t really disagree with this, especially more reps 🫤

 Thanks, Rhule  

He could get charged with Manslaughter or even Murder in the second degree

For the record, I was saying “Rhule ruined him” half way jokingly because surely he must have screwed this up too since he underperformed last year, not just health wise.  The offense did not get the best out of our receivers and certainly wasn’t a good environment to develop a young rookie.

I get not wanting to count Marshall's injury against him, but the problem there is that when he was drafted, he was a known injury risk.

It's really starting to look like his body might not be able to take the pounding of the NFL.

Fair point, he was known to be injury prone. Sometimes the best ability is availability 

Just now, LinvilleGorge said:

No clue if that source has any legitimacy whatsoever but I wouldn't necessarily be surprised to find out that it's true. Since being the training camp all-star as a rookie, TMJ hasn't been heard from since.

He was making plays earlier this training camp before getting injured. 

I didn’t say this was officially reported, thus the ? In the title .  If you guys think only “confirmed” reports are worth discussing then the Huddle isn’t for you.  This is a place where rumors can be discussed no matter how believable they are, and this one has a strong chance of being true. 

Also, if teams are calling about TMJ you better believe the FO put feelers out there that he may be available for trade. 

I really had high hopes for this guy but Rhule ruined him. Watch him ball out somewhere else

My biggest fear is that the used car salesman, aka Matt Rhule, does just enough each year to keep from getting fired causing us to be stuck in endless purgatory.  His treatment of Corral, blind allegiance to Temple or Baylor players, stubbornness and egotistical behavior will set this franchise back another decade id we don’t change course very quickly.  

I will never root for this team to fail but I will hope that Tepper will cut his losses and refuse to accept this clown head coaching behavior that is holding this roster back. Fitt is doing a decent job drafting and signing free agents. I believe this roster will never achieve its potential with Rhule at the helm.

He's our third string QB currently. He's going to play behind 3rd string oline the majority of the time. This argument doesn't make sense.

Not if Baker and Sam aren’t playing. I am specifically referring to last night’s game. He should have started ahead of PJ to get the reps

And the injury is on Rhule, putting him behind third stringer OL.  Matt should have played first and second quarter and call it a night behind our second stringers

No because they still have Matt Rhule as their coach

what does he say?

Same as I have, that Corrall showed flashes of ability and will be good if given reps and opportunities 

Why aren’t we hearing what do Xrays indicate? It literally takes 15 minutes 

I truly think Tepper will wait until the end of the season. If the team finishes trending upward (even if they don’t make playoffs) Rhule will be retained. If they look worse as a team and don’t show progress then he will be fired.

you just compared Corral to Mahomes and Newton. lmao.

You brought up the “throwing while being sacked” as indicating that he doesn’t have it. It’s only logical that we would point out the fallacy because almost every franchise QB has done that on occasion.

Rhule is a complete Joke. It’s childish at this point. 

He looks like a manchild with his oversized head on that body

he looks confused and frantic. it's funny that he went to Oaks like Jimmy, they really do look a lot a like. That release is nice but when you're just gunning it at people that arent ready or finished with their route, it just looks like you're way off target.

the one play that really told me he wasn't an NFL QB was against the redskins when he was getting sacked and tried to get rid of it which resulted in a fumble. He got bailed out by a penalty.

I'm bummed, I was really rooting him on trust.

Haha you sound ridiculous. Basing your entire projection on one play.  Cam did that crap many times.

In the overall interest of the team, might be best to IR him and save the roster spot. You see the talent on some of his throws, but he needs time developing before he would be anywhere ready to come in a live game.

I would trust him more in a live game than Sam Darnold. At least the kid isn’t afraid to stand in the pocket

Which is why he should've been the pick. Make no mistake, I'm fuging butthurt about this and it's definitely clouding my judgement.

Corral still looks hella bad though.

 

Howell is the Mac Jones of this draft. He will be better out of the gate but Corrall has a higher ceiling if he can get the right coaching
