That's fair. He statistically had his best year with the Saints, but it's kind of a marginal improvement. I don't think they look at him as their future at QB. Let's just put it that way.

Doubtful. Jameis Winston has shown way more in his NFL career, and Payton couldn't save him. He's a football coach, not a miracle worker. Darnold can't read the field. He would need to spend 2-3 seasons in study hall as a backup before he had a chance to succeed IMO. And you don't trade for an expiring contract to pick that kind of player up. They might scoop him up for nothing after we dump him though.

Yea I just wouldn’t put anything past Payton. He might have Kevin James coach the team this week to film the sequel of that stupid movie.

We won't need to field a defense if the Saints start Ian Book.

I agree that the win was meaningless, but last year's draft is interesting. Even though we screwed it up by winning that game, we still had Justin Fields, Mac Jones, and Rashawn Slater on the board when we picked. I'm not high on Fields or Jones, but they're probably at least on par with any of the prospects in this years draft. And the LT was sitting right there, but short arms and all that.

I don't know if you guys watched that game the other night, but we have a real shot if Ian Book plays. They did also sign Blake Bortles, though. I'd expect him to get some playing time this week if Hill and that other dude can't go. Could be a 6-3 type game.

I think the Giants planned on hiring Rhule until Tepper stepped in and offered him more money and control than anyone else would. They panicked and hired Joe Judge, which felt like a joke of a hire at the time. Then that joke of a hire went onto blow out the Panthers without most of their key players. In a game that was supposed to be a "get right" game for us, too. I was done with Matt Rhule after that. If Tepper is still sold on Matt Rhule, we are fugged.

I don't care who the next coach is, as long as Tepper isn't the one making the hiring decision.

Agree completely. Reddick should honestly go sign with a playoff team. He's the type of player that can be a final piece to a Super Bowl defense.

I mean why not. Our offense is basically surrendering with extra steps.

How the fug did we score 2 TDs

We just want to believe it’s true. The alternative is too depressing. Hope you don’t take things too personally from the pitchfork crowd here. I really appreciate when you take the time to post your insights here.

I watched every game of the 2001 season and that team was in most games. Not the most talented bunch, and coached by a reanimated corpse, but they played hard just about every week. 2010 vs this year is a push for me.

It’s a joke about Robby because the guy is an idiot. Why do you always miss the point and try to make something out of nothing?

I think the line would look a lot better with a good C and LG. We need someone solid at C that is good at making the protection adjustment calls. If we had a good LG next to him, it would help support our LT. Then we only need to find one JAG to play RG. Maybe Deonte Brown would be serviceable?

Sideshow Bob is just part of the Clown Show

I agree but I’m not sure how doable it is from an administration perspective. But I’m just a fan so I dunno.

Rhule can’t be fired because all but 4 members of the staff are his lackeys from college. They would not finish the season as interim, as it would create a very strange situation. Chase Blackburn would have to hire an interim staff for 2 games. We don’t have a Darrell Bevell to name interim HC. Nobody on Urbans staff gave a fug that he was fired.

If Matt Rhule replied to this topic: CB QB OL CB

We’re still in the playoff hunt. You just can’t see us.

Vea is a NT in a 3-4 system. He soaks up 2 guys and put up those stats. Derrick Brown has a dude next to him and doesn't command double teams ever. There's a huge difference in what's happening on the field.

That's just flat out wrong. Vea was a force in 2019 and he only played 5 games last year due to injury. The Bucs have been stout up front when he's on the field. Suh had 10 sacks and made the pro bowl his first season. The dude was a monster immediately.

I hear ya, but if Derrick Brown wasn't ready to make an impact, he was a huge reach in the top 10. You don't draft a guy that high to wait 3-4 years for him to elevate his play above JAG level. edit: Just want to add he was billed as a grown ass man in the draft.
