After Watson said he wouldn't go to Philly lol you might have these people fooled but not me

She was already massively wrong on the last draft. If she's wrong on this she might as well never show her face again. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt though.

If Verge is right, its palatable. Donte is an expiring and we're loaded at corner. Two firsts are worth it. CMC sucks but it is what it is. 

They need to take on Darnold too though as a sweetener.

Nah I couldn't find much joy in mercenary teams like that. The Bucs are a trash organization who lucked into a bunch of players picking Tampa Bay to build a super team for a few years. Whatever.

Ehhh. I don't think that's giving them enough credit. They had built a good team before Brady came there and they've continued to have good drafts since then. They drafted well and built a solid core. They hired a great coach and coordinators. They took a chance on Brady when almost everyone else was calling him washed.

Brady will eventually retire and bucs will fall back into being crap.

I would rather have 1 good year that resulted in a super bowl every 20 years and suck for the rest of the time than I would our fate. 

2 firsts if the highest I go. MAYBE a player/later round pick thrown in.

"I think I made the right decision yesterday, it wasn't good enough. WHen you're the starting QB it has to be good enough"

durr zomg he's coddling darnold.

He knows exactly what the problem is he's just not coming right out sand saying it. Is he completely uncommitted to both Darnold and Brady in that presser.

His press conference gave me a little more confidence. It seems like he knows exactly what the problem is (Brady) there just isn't much he can do about it other than outright firing him. If I had to guess, by the bye week, Brady is gone and Sean Ryan is interim OC.

Oh okay

"At this time"

I agree with the sentiment for the most part about Canes/Hornets vs. Panthers but you're all missing on the all important luck x-factor. 

Hornets got lucky that they hit the lottery. They got lucky that Minnesota and GSW both passed on Lamelo. 

Hurricanes got lucky that they won the lottery. Granted they took years and built a fantastic farm system and made some amazing trades, but landing Svech was the turning point for us becoming true contenders.

The Panthers were a few draft picks away from being in this exact scenario. We were one draft pick away from having both Justin Herbert and Peneii Sewell which would have been franchise altering.

They didn't see anything. Tepper needs a quarterback and they are doing anything they can to find one. They've made two mistakes already in that department 

Exactly. For some reason they think they can contend now so they're desperately swinging at the fences and compromising our future in the process.

After the last few weeks it is completely possible to lose out.

I will legit be sick to my stomach and probably just give up on football for a while if we give up what some of these rumors are saying.

Something tells me that if he was traded he would suddenly return to the CMC of old. 

It's fuging ridiculous he has been out this long. The dude was BARELY even limping.

Rhule's teams have always been built around dominant D and decent offense. He thought he could replicate that in the NFL. Put all the resources into the D, find a JAG vet QB to hold the fort down and let boy wonder Brady go to work. Well, it doesn't work like that in the NFL and it's alarming Rhule couldn't see that coming in.

I mean, in his defense, even if it was a JAG at QB, the offense should not be shitting the bed as much as it has. The offense with this many weapons should not be this bad even if Nathan Peterman was under center.

Tua is terrible. Anyone who actually wants Tua on this team does not watch football. He sucks out loud.

Yeah I don't know what some of these people are on. I've watched several Dolphins games this year and Tua is not good. Blame it on whatever you want, but there's a reason the Dolphins are so eager to move on from him already.

We've have truly become the Cardinals and Browns fan base.. Without all the loyalty... Atleast they show up even when they lose... But firing coaches after a year is stupid..

I bet Browns and Cardinals fans are very happy they let go Wilks and Kitchens considering how much those teams have improved.

I'm not 100% sure it needs to be Rhule, but I think Brady definitely needs to go. Fire him now and hand it over to Sean Ryan for the rest of the year.

Just now, WOW!! said:

Why??

I'd rather have held on to Teddy than have wasted money and draft picks on Darnold. They could have kept building up the team around him then plugged in a rookie when the time was right.

The free agent QB market was dildos.

The QB that everyone was saying we should have drafted is dildos.

So what do you propose could have been done better, armchair GM with the benefit of hindsight?

It's the same thing with the OL conversation. The free agent offensive lineman were dildos. They're not doing any better.

You can't just manifest players because you want them. They have to be available. Or you have to develop them. Or in the case of Stafford, there has to be enough talent in place for them to WANT to play here. And there just isn't. And that's a problem Rhule inherited from the previous 2 GMs, not one of his own doing. It's going to take time considering we're starting the QB and OL pipeline from scratch. 

And WTF are you talking about with our rookie class. Horn was a stud before his injury and will be a stud. Brady looks promising at LT. Tremble is going to be our starting TE for a decade. And the rest could all emerge as starters. This is still one of the best draft classes in recent memory in terms of short and long term contribution.

Should have just been patient and kept Teddy. 

In retrospect, I gave up on Joe Brady when I saw him sitting in the booth with a box of crayons.

Dear David,

I feel like I can call you David because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to talk investing. I know I can't invest as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you invest fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real Touch Down!

Dear David, have you heard about the excellent investment opportunity known as Shib coin?

I haven’t lost confidence in Rhule. I have lost confidence in Brady last season. 
 

I just really think Rhule needs people around him with NFL experience, and needs to get away from the Temple/Baylor people.

Phil Snow is the only one who comes off as being an NFL caliber coach. 

I never bought in 100% anyways. I thought we were trending in the right direction but it has become obvious that we're probably just as bad off now as we were when Rhule took over. Ask yourself this; what exactly does Rhule do so good that makes him worthy of being a head coach? I can not think of a single thing that Rhule is exceptional at. 

He does come off though like he himself thinks that he is a galaxy brained football God.
