Henning was probably the best OC we ever had, which isn't saying much but it's true. Chud night have had the best offensive mind, but his situational awareness and situational play calling was pretty poor. He had no idea who was on the field and didn't care when he sent down play calls. He didn't adapt his game plan to match the situations very well. That said, he was loads better than most others we had, especially those who came after him. Norve should have been better, but I think Rivera handicapped him. Whatever it was, Norv was a letdown. I expected a lot more from him, but his time didn't seem to be any better than the worst and most predictable of Shula. I will say, I'm not all that excited about McAdoo. His offense in new York was really predictable and lacked much dimensionally. He's got experience, but I expect more of the same we've had going back over a half decade now. One dimensional, predictable offense while lacking a consistently good QB. And no, Cam doesn't count as a consistently good QB his last few years here. He was hurt and played hurt too much after being run into the ground by Rivera and allowed to be a punching bag for defenses by the jackass refs of the league.

Yeah, I kind of think forcing him to stick with Darnold instead of letting him bounce around with a new QB every year is the best way to go for the future. You thought he was something special, roll with him. He's blown it on how many QBs so far....do we really want to trust him with anymore? What, in his track record, makes anyone think he'll get it right this time?

Whatever it takes, as long as it's happening. Wouldn't surprise me. The question has to asked, just like it was asked about Rivera. If the coach needs to be told how to coach, what's the point of keeping the coach? Just go ahead and get someone who can do the job without being told what to do and how to do it.

That something else makes sense now. Rhule is a handicap.

Yeah not exactly a step forward there. Or sideways.

This.

Probably. We'll have coach/rich people worshippers defending the status quo calling it consistency and then those who want the team to be better and make better choices and have better coaches/players unhappy with yet another losing season and tired of the ineffectiveness of this poorly run franchise. People talk about Rhule getting fired next year....but I'm not buying it. Tepper is too stubborn and Rhule is too good a conman.

Wealthy.... Yeah, but what does that have to do with it? Smarter? Definitely debatable. I mean they should be as far as football is concerned, but overall? Who knows? But, like I've said before....I don't have to be a truck driver to know when a truck driver is bad at his job. I don't have to be a plumber or a surgeon or a lawyer to know when they are bad at their jobs. And I don't have to be a coach to know when they are bad at their jobs.

Coaching consistency is overrated if you don't have a coach that can get you a ring. Rhule can't do it. He's not the right guy for the job. Proof is in the results. Results are all that matter. How much friggin time does it take? Because if you're thinking it takes more than 2 years to build a winner, you're doing it wrong.

Unless they hired Flores, firing Rhule this off-season wouldn't excite me much because who would we hire? I mean are there any good choices? We missed the opportunity for most. There are no good vet FA WBs this year and the idea of trading for one AGAIN makes me want to puke. No great QB options in the draft. I don't know....there just isn't much of anything we could do because Rhule is still here and has control. Him losing control of personnel decisions and being told to keep his ignorant hands off the offense and defense would help, but at point why not just fire the guy? I just have no enthusiasm about this team as long as Rhule is at the helm. He's the captain of this ship and we're heading for Niagra Falls.

By the time we're actually competitive he's going to be contemplating retirement. Just an observation and I agree with what you're saying, but I might disagree when it comes to RBs.

Keep it simple for the stupids.

That's kind of complicated. Remember who it is making these decisions here.

No, we have, or at least used to have when we had somewhat competent coaching, have an occasional playoff run. I think that era is over. Rivera brought it (eventually) and Rhule is doing his damn best to keep that era around.

Lol. No one will see it happen, but it will be 1000% happening.

Cardinals are going to win it next. Raiders the year after. Place your bets now.

Jerry was bad. Tepper has yet to prove he's any better.

Stafford is a good, tough QB. He's always been that. Detroit is just a bad town for a football team, just like Cleveland. Those two cities will never produce winners. There's just something in the water.

This...and even longer if Tepper is the one making the call on the next HC instead of letting Fit and Morgan or someone that actually knows the game make the decision. We pick the right guy, we'll be back in with 3 years.

Yep, going to be even harder to get quality FAs this year. Bottom feeders we are.....yet again. Yay.

No, but seriously...

College QB with small hands in a bigger NFL ball is a bigger deal than an LT with slightly shorter arms. How much is it going to take a defender to knock that ball out? How much struggle is he going to have in the rain? The concerns go on. And I just don't see trust him to succeed. Imo, coin toss to whether he becomes a good QB or the next Sammy. I just don't want any part of that gamble.

Still a great game. Going to make it harder to get decent OL.

We're going to go into Overtime!!!!!!
