OL helps the QB out. Then get a better OL....and a better QB.

Same here. They can say all the right things, but evidence on the field shows they are inept. Show me you're not inept on the field and ill believe it, but until then it's all just talk. And even then, at this stage they're all just playing a game and shouldn't be believed. Basically there's nothing you can accurately glean from this or anything they say.

He's an optimism buzz killer. Any hope you have of something positive happening that's good for the team, once you remember that rule is calling the shots it all falls apart.

Was he worth a first round? Considering how good he was and how long he played, was he worth a first round pick?

Sure why not? No way Philly offers or accepts it, but yeah.... I'd probably bite. Real problem is....who is making the pick and do you trust them?

Yeah, even Rule can see (at least I hope he can see) that he doesn't have the luxury of years to develop a QB. He's on borrowed time. Whoever he gets has to have an immediate impact.

Yow I didn't even think of that! Charge down the field getting into the RedZone only to get decimated. Pickett's charge fails again. To me that name sounds like an invitation to opposing secondaries. "Just pick it"

Further evidence its going to be a corner.

Anyone else think that 'Pickett' is a bad name for a QB? Would be great for a CB, though.

But Rule was a football guy....whatever that means. Sounds good tho. Good enough for a 7 year deal I guess.

So how long will it take for Tepper to be embarrassed enough to fire Rhule? And who, among this staff, would be the best temp replacement? Bye week.... whenever that is....seems as good a week as any. Probably will end up being after Thanksgiving though. As for the who..... I'd roll with Wilks. Failure in 'zona was hardly his fault and while I wanted Rhule fired in his second year...at least hecwas given a second year. I won't get into some of the reasons I think he was fired after one year. *cough* double standard*cough* Anyways...barring some miraculous transformation that turns us into 10+ win team making a deep run in the playoffs...that's what I'm thinking.

Brain trust responsible for it creates a lot of talking points.

So in 10 years we might have a competitive team again. Yay.

And then there the Hurney thing.

Not firing him.

Not a good mix.

It's a short term league.

The cap was in great shape until it wasn't. Bad decisions net bad results.

Garappolo would become Garopplegic behind this OL.

In the face after a practice in the panthers locker room from what I remember. It was a pretty big discussion around here, but we didn't hear about it until after he was gone. Wasn't exactly the kind of thing the team wanted getting out. Wasn't as public as the training camp incident (I was there for that) and nobody had to go to the hospital like after the first assault. Easier to keep contained and Cam probably didn't make it any better. At that point Cam was the future and Smitty wasn't doing much here. He had more in the tank for sure, but he wasn't letting it out. Dude was getting into more fights than he was getting into the end zone. I hated seeing him go and think it was crappy the way it was handled, but it wasn't surprising after it happened.

We start winning a couple more games, we keep Rhule. And then we plateau at .500.

Yes. Hit him. Well, slapped actually, but still. It was assault....again.

Oh, I know it's going to happen. And it will be another in a long line of bad decisions that they've worked themselves into.

And no one needs to be hit to put them in their place. That's the same mentality that refs gave for allowing him to get assaulted on a regular basis without repercussions. "Boy needs to be put in his place" Smh

You're agreeing with sizzlebuzz. Think about that.
