Cousins is a good QB. Does he have a big contract? Yes but he is atleast good. Just because Minnesota can’t win in the playoffs doesn’t mean he sucks. It’s a team sport and Kirk hasn’t really had a good offensive line the entire time he’s been in Minnesota. Minnesota had a bad defense this year and I believe last year as well. Saying he just puts up good stats but sucks makes no sense. You don’t put up those kinds of numbers consistently if you are bad. He has always been on a average ton below average team and yet puts up about Top 10 qb numbers.

Can you blame him? We have Darnold right now and PJ Walker. No guarantee that we upgrade at qb. Rhule could be in his last year so it basically is a one year job. Playing here could hurt his resume. He could stay in Houston with a QB he is familiar with and a QB who could actually end up being decent. If he does a good job next year with Houston then it’s possible he could be offered a OC or even a head coaching job. I mean to put up an average offense with a mid round rookie QB, rookie coach and a team with lots of issues looks good on Hamilton’s resume. If he’s able to improve the offense next year then why wouldn’t he get a coaching offer? Maybe a head coaching job for a college or even an nfl team? Or maybe a OC job with more potential then what we have.

I don’t recall hearing any other coach saying this before. Most of the time they don’t even blame anyone, just talk about how they need to improve and talk about the positives of the loosing season, like the development of young talent.

I never understood why we used Ricci instead of Tremble as a FB. I mean Ricci caused a fumble because of his incompetence in the red zone I think in week one or two. Tremble supposed to be a great blocker and can play FB, so why didn’t we use him as our FB and back up TE? At the the beginning of the season Tremble would have been the 3rd TE. So why not use him as our FB and free up another roster spot? I don’t think Ricci was good at FB so if anything this just shows me that our coaching staff doesn’t know what they are doing.

Jimmy G has a major injury history. Imagine what he would do with our offensive line? I mean it’s like the guy is made of glass already.

I respect this. Fans should make it absolute hell for the opposing team and if the refs do a bad job then so be it. If you care about your team and winning so much then wouldn’t you be willing to do whatever it takes?

I know he got a lot of credit for what he did with Baylor but Baylor has been a pretty good school before they got into trouble. Baylor is just as good right now without Rhule as they were with him. So I wonder how much Rhule really had to do with turning around Baylor. I have a feeling Baylor was a big enough school that they would have turned it around no matter who the coach was.

Yeah 9 sacks in 17 games isn’t a lot. I hate he can’t get over that 10 sack hump. I think he does have a high win percentage and can get to the QB though. I thought Brown was going to help Burns this year but he has sucked as well.

I was wondering how the PFF scores worked… so 67 is good? It just sounds bad. Still I knew he wasn’t a complete player, you don’t sign a player who’s coming off a 12 sack season for the price we got Reddick for unless he has lots of issues.

Cam had a worst PFF grade than Sam despite being used in goal line situations where he could get a easy TD. He’s not the answer. He might have a good play here or there but his arm isn’t what it was. He’s a shell of the player he once was.

Miami had injuries at the QB position and didn’t have as much talent yet turned it around and ended with a winning season. Dude might be a good nfl coach. I think he will find a job easily. I mean for what he did in Miami with the talent he had he should get lots of credit.

Even though we had the 2nd ranked defense somehow I think our defensive line sucked. Look at former 1st round pick Derrick Brown, he’s sucked, I could be wrong but I think he’s regressed. The other young defensive linemen haven’t done much better. Brown and Reddick may get sacks but their overall PFF grade sucks. We have had plenty of games where we haven’t got after the QB or let them run down our throats. I think the whole 2nd ranked defense is misleading anyhow. Our offensive line sucked and honestly I don’t see any improvements from our OL. It took all season just to see the two rookies get some playing time. We need coaches who have NFL experience and can help develop young talent. I don’t think college coaches are going to get the job done.

This level of ignorance is why you don’t listen to the fans who want to win now instead of waiting and developing what you have. There have been many QBs that sucked for years and then one day turned it around and was good. The most recent example I think of is Alex Smith, he was worse than Darnold his first 4 years. Then look how good Alex Got once the 49ers drafted good offensive linemen and gave him some weapons and a good coach. Steve Young, Drew Bledsoe, Troy Aikman and John Elway took years to be good players. Drew Brees wasn’t good his first 3 years. Jameis Winston went from being a turnover machine to only throwing 3 interceptions to 14 TDs in 7 games this year and might have turned his career around. With the right coaching staff you can fix players, it happens all the time at all positions. Sam had a horrible coaching staff and franchise for the first couple of years with the jets. He comes here to a coach that is new to the NFL and seems to be doing a horrible job of developing players. It looks like players are actually regressing under Rhule. Add the fact 4 out of the 5 offensive linemen have sucked this year and our receivers have been pretty bad and the fact it seems our offensive coordinator is clueless to being an NFL coach and I would say that it’s possible that Darnold might be redeemed. It’s not a guarantee but it happens all the time in the NFL so why couldn’t it happen again? Give the guy a better offensive line and a offensive coordinator that can help him then find someone to help him improve this offseason and you might be shocked at what you see. Hell it took cam about 7 years just to have a completion percentage over 62% because it took him that long to find him a coach to teach him checkdowns and short passes. It’s easy to call Darnold a bust until you look at how he’s had some of the worst coaching staffs around and had crappy offensive linemen every year. Let the guy develop.

I honestly would rather us draft offensive linemen and build a team for a good QB to come in the next year or two (like TB did with Brady) rather than draft a QB in the first round. I honestly don’t like this years QBs. Pickett might be the best but he’s older and only has one good year. I thought Riddler might be good but the way he played in the playoff game against a good team bothered me. I’ve seen a lot of player comparisons of Matt Corral to a bunch of QBs who ended up being bust, like David Carr so I don’t know about him. I’m not sold on Howell either. Willis is a no for me. Strong might be good in the NFL but I’m worried because of the competition he played against. I wouldn’t mind taking a late round pick on Zappe. I mean for someone to put up those amazing numbers I would love to see what he can do in the NFL, sure college numbers don’t always translate but let’s say a great QB was on a bad team, wouldn’t he put up big numbers like Zappe? If he ends up being a bust it’s okay because he will be a mid round pick. honestly I would just rather us build a good team and when a good QB like a Watson, Wilson or Rodgers is a FA we can sign him here. Maybe if we suck enough next year we can get the #1 pick and get a good QB but I don’t want one this year.

I’m down for minshew. There are plenty of QBs out there that I think could get the job done for us. Think of how many good QBs want off their team right now, like Rodgers, Wilson and Watson. Then you have Minshew, you have your guys like Tyler Heincke and Kyle Allen which I think could do a decent job. There are plenty of back ups who could be a decent starter for us. Personally I don’t want us to draft a QB this year.

Looked how bad the other QBs played for us. Pj was even worse. Cam was horrible. If our WRs weren’t dropping so many passes, our o line didnt suck and our RBs could average over 4.0 ypc maybe Darnold could get the job done. I think we also had a bad OC that hurt Darnold. You honestly think if we had a good qb with this offense that things would be that much better? I don’t think so, not when you have 3-4 offensive linemen that are horrible.

When I heard we Drafted Hubbard because Rhule’s wife called I knew we were going to be screwed. If you look at how many players we cut or traded under Rhule that ended up doing good for other teams you can see that we don’t know what the he’ll we are doing. Rasual Douglas and Perryman had great years this year, we traded our TE who was arguably the best receiver for the Jags.

we need someone who can develop Sam. If he fails then the OC and Rhule will be gone anyhow so I’m willing to see us waste a year on trying. Plenty of QBs took a few years to develop, let’s give Darnold a chance with a OC that knows what he’s doing and a decent offensive line.

We could have traded for minshew and kept our second rounder.

Wait so despite Reddick and brown getting 11 and 9 sacks they scored that low? Or is 60 considered good? Those grades just seem low for a defense ranked 2nd.

Maybe but did we give him a chance to succeed this year? Do you honestly think that our coaching staff this year was any better than the Jets staff with Darnold? Our offensive line was horrible,CMC hurt a few games in, Roby Anderson dropped a lot of passes, we traded our Top TE, I believe our team was one of the top in dropped passes. The run game wasn’t that good. The offensive coordinator wasn’t good, we didn’t hire any special QB coach to help him, hell we had PJ Walker as our back up instead of signing a good Vet to tutor him, no Cam isn’t that guy.

I like getting offensive linemen from certain colleges. I just notice a pattern of certain college offensive linemen being good and being bust. I feel like a lot of good offensive linemen come from the big 10, like Iowa, Ohio state. Also Oklahoma seems to make good offensive linemen. I feel like there have been some big bust coming from SEC and ACC teams. Texas A&M and Ole Miss come to mind.

Was Henderson good because he was going against back up WRs? To be fair I thought he did okay in the Dallas game. Some of those catches were insane and were perfect passes.

I think we should give Darnold another shot. I mean the interior line played like crap all year and most of the year our left tackle was also bad. You can’t expect a young QB learning a new offense to do good with the center and both guards playing horrible every game. CMC was also injured most of the year and Hubbard wasn’t that good. So we didn’t have a run game to help Darnold. I would love to see what Darnold can do with a better OC. Hell why didn’t we sign someone who could help develop Darnold?

My problem with Rhule compared to Rivera is that we were about a .500 team each year and was competitive. Under Rhule we don’t seem to be developing any talent and a lot of guys seem to be regressing. We don’t seem to be competitive and Rhule seems to be cutting/trading players that end up doing great for the other team. Rhule also seems to show loyalty to players from his college days which is dumb. PJ Washington shouldn’t be our back up, we should have had a nfl vet as our back up to help Darnold this year. Our first round pick from last year doesn’t seem to be developing, we are moving players to different positions like Chinn instead of letting them play a position they are good at.
