Call Me James

Defense still showing out. I can dig it.

Matt Rhule. Wtf kinda question is this?

Probably him. I remember Luke showing up to our Tailgate (UNC) vs Boston College and playing corn hole. Stand up guy.

Come on man, Goff took his team to a super bowl.

He's being coddled. But I don't think it matters. He's a 4 year vet. If he hasn't figured it out yet, I doubt he will.

If the team keeps failing its on rhule and tepper. No more excuses about Ron, Cam's shoulder, nor Hurney. Embrace the moment. We're either going to turn it around or continue to suffer.

Darnold isn't as a big of a question mark if not more than the o line though.

Could have been our backup of we weren't so intent on coddling Sam.

Even in his worst year, check down King was better than our current QB. At some point a few y'all just need to say you need a white QB that reminds you of the old days.

Big year for him. If Burrow continues to impress, especially coming off a significant injury and Brady doesn't well...

With bad weather slated for most of the week, will that Chang ethe philosophy on how much starters play on Sat?

He was not good. Stop it.

No. No. No. Draft a stud or pick up a proven veteran. This bargain bin nonsense has to stop.

Pretty sure it's 12. Hopefully it comes and goes without any lingering effects.

Y'all did this routine last year with Teddy. How about you wait until he starts before you start telling fans how they should feel about a guy on his 4th year.

Our coaches don't seem interested in dynamic QBs. They have a type.

Yea coaches seem to have between 2.5 to 3.5 to show they can put their team into the playoffs. Too much money involved to ride out a half decade of mediocrity or worse. And they'll always be rated against the other coaches who are doing well when players you pass up. Rhule's money is guaranteed though, so he doesn't have to stress that part.

OP thought he had something.

There is no gamble in whether Sam Darnold will be a good QB?

He's in year 4. He not only needs to grow, but he needs to move from being the consensus worst starter the last 3 years to being top 3rd. That's a large gamble. If he's just middle of the road he's no better than Teddy.

You can draft a lot of talented players, but if that doesn't translate into wins by addressing the teams biggest need it can't be a successful draft. We will see what they put together, but I'm not sure how many guys in this draft will be straight away impact guys outside of the no 1 pick

They won't be here that long to see it. It's a shame that a coaching staff fails to address the No1 and no2 needs directly instead of picking up pet projects to tinker with.

Huddle graded the draft an A/A-. No complaints allowed

Agreed. Just assuming Darnold is going to be better than Teddy is a huge gamble.

Yes. Blood and guts.
