With a bad attitude, Rhule's 'Temple incentivized' contract and lack of performance, dude is going to be HARD to trade.

Assembling a list of names is about all they can do now. It's too early in the season.

Poorly worded by Dave. I am not a fan of Tepper, but if Wilks does a crappy job, why would he be considered? Just to satisfy the Rooney rule? Isn't that what Wilks suit is really about? He should have worded inthe affirmative such as: 'if Steve Wilks does an outstanding job in the interim, he would ABSOLUTELY be considered for the full time position.' Says the same thing, but sounds much better.

Maybe he's evolved, but I didn't think Dorsey was particularly effective with Cam. Cam never fixed any of his bad habits with Dorsey as his QB coach.

Yep, other teams can't snatch a HC, but blocking OCs from getting a HC job is just a prick move. DCs are a dime a dozen and easier to replace than an effective OC. That's why we need to to hire an offensive minded HC. Reid, McVey, Peyton are all examples of that. Even Daboll in New York now.

1) Not on a Power 5 conference team (Sunbelt conference) 2) Team is not ranked (would have been had they not lost Saturday) 3) Doesn't have a rocket for an arm (but he can make every throw) 4) Small school that doesn't have a long, storied history in FBS football and thus greatly lacks national TV time. Heck until they upset BYU I don't anyone outside of the Carolinas had even heard of Coastal Carolina. I'm cool with it. I DO NOT WANT the #1 overall pick. Young will stay hurt and Stroud I'm not sold on...yet. We need more picks; a trade back is necessary.

PJ isn't a passing threat, BUT at least take a FEW shots to try to keep the defense honest. There was nothing of a downfield game and time wore on, the more obvious it was to the Rams we were SCARED to pass the ball deep. At that point they just keyed in on the screen game without fear of getting beat over the top. Heck, it about got CMC killed.

Remember James Morgan that was on our practice squad a year or two ago? I think he's a FA. If PJ is going to miss time, we might want to sign the guy.

Play action pass works wonders, especially when we were running the ball effectively before the Rams figured out we had ZERO intention of throwing downfield.

Macadoo don't know when he's gone to the well too many times Did he think he could run screens all game before the Rams adjusted?

He speaks English--ya know what I'm say'n?

Rhule's next career and the mantra for his sells team. ]

I wouldn't trade for the sake of trading unless the haul is just too good to turn down. CMC stays unless the offer is just ridiculously good. Moore is in the same boat as CMC. Burns, I'm 50/50 on. He's still a liability in the run game and I say he's still better suited in a 3-4 scheme as a OLB. Plus he's coming up on a massive payday. Robbie Anderson I would definitely trade, but his contract makes it nearly impossible. Shaq I would trade too, but I don't see anyone clamoring for him and our LB depth sucks (thanks Snow).

I still can't believe there were a few people defending Rhule all the up to that 49ers game. I'm not sure if they were just homers that don't like people in this organization bad-mouthed or if they really thought Rhule was a decent coach. Either way, it was painfully obvious to the other 99% of the Huddle that Rhule was a joke. Dude would crush it on a used car lot!

Broken bone in his hands and that Detroit defense was not anything close to the Rams D we are seeing today. If the Panthers win today, our defense is going to have to play lights out, our running game needs to be clicking on all cylinders, special teams needs to be flawless and PJ needs to be close to 50% on 3rd down passes with no picks on the day. If ALLLLLL that happens, we have a chance to beat the Rams.

McCall did his thing again even in a loss. I mean, 3 passing TDs 358 yards, 0 picks and a 76% completion rate in a loss is pretty dang good. CCU had a sieve in their rushing defense...they gave up as many rushing yards as McCall had passing! Yes, passing yards get inflated when trailing big in a game, but usually the completion rate suffers and INTs happen. Neither occurred in this instance which is a very good indicator that he doesn't panic and is cool under pressure in the face of adversity.

Scrolled through 5 pages and the obvious couldn't fell out of the sky and hit you guys square in the forehead. The #1 likely isn't a QB, the #1 overall pick is likely a player that plays the same position as Burns.

If we miss out on the top 3 QBs, as people who go to the draft thread know, I'm on the McCall bandwagon. Not a cannon for an arm, but good enough and the kid is SMART. He doesn't make too many bad reads. He's mobile enough to run RPO concepts at CCU. Even the GOAT Tom Brady wasn't elite physically, but cerebral as there is in the NFL. No, I'm not comparing McCall to Brady, just saying I'll take a 'good enough' athlete at QB that 'gets it' over a stud athlete QB that can't make it to his second read.

This is a deep class, but not a star-studded class. The QB hype train is only two cars long this year and the casual observers will get snagged in that narrative. That's cool with me. Hopefully Wilkes pulls out several wins, we trade back grab Mayer and take a QB at the top of the 2nd round.

Ickey is a bust!!!!!! Didn't you all see his first rookie game starting at left tackle against a Pro Bowl defensive end???? He looked bad!!!!!!! Why he wasn't cut before his second game is beyond me!!!!!!!!!

Wrong, there's only two household names.

A unicorn situation is where there is a HC vacancy and there's an established, successful QB in place. In other words extremely rare if not a complete fantasy. Usually HCs don't get canned in such scenarios where there's elite QB play. Most newly hired HCs are dealing with some sort of QB ineptitude walking in the door.

I don't know, people get star stuck with big name QB classes and outside of Stroud and Young, there's not a lot of household names at the top this year. However, this QB class is DEEP. That said this is the perfect draft to take a stab on a 2nd rounder.

100% on Scott? No, but will he have a say like Hurney did? Absolutely. Tepper will obviously have to give his stamp of approval, but I think this time around he's going to lean on the GM to do the bulk of the leg work and give the final thumbs up or down. Tepper knows his finger prints were ALL over the Rhule hire. This time around I don't think he's going put himself in the position to be the fall guy if the next HC doesn't work out.
