Can we all just calm down a little bit, especially with this Rhule and his baylor hires.  Think about it like this....we hired Rhule to come in and do what he does best, build teams.  So if Rhule hires all these "NFL" guys that have their ways of doing things wouldn't that hurt Rhule in doing what he wants to do?  He is bringing in his dudes that know exactly what he is about to do....will be no surprises for Rhule in company as he builds this dynasty.

I'm not excited by the staff other than Rhule and Brady.  Dynasty.  I'd settle for B2B winning seasons and some semblance of consistency.

I'm fine with measured concern (ha ha, on the Huddle???), and a lot of these Baylor hires do have me concerned.

If it looks like poo next season, then folks are going to get fired.  Tepper is betting BIG on Rhule.  We'll see if it work.

I can completely get bringing in his guys to run his team the way he wants it.  He doesn't want to bring in career NFL people who have their own agendas, wanting to move up the chain in a year or two.

So we'll just have to see if it works.

Guys have to start somewhere but I don’t like that he said he wanted to bring a few seasoned NFL coaches in here and either didn’t or couldn’t deliver it. I don’t like that we couldn’t figure out how to get Berry here and aren’t waiting for the Patriots guy for this position. 
 

It’s making me worry that Tepper is ok with this coming season being a full on learning experience for the entire football side of the organization that will either pay off or not.

You know the best way to come up with new ideas? Have a group made up of diverse individuals. Rhule's 'process' works in college, we don't know if it will work in the NFL. I hope these guys can all think outside of (Rhule's) the box and challenge him when needed.

We're all hoping it'll work out. But to be fair, there are indeed reasons to be concerned.

The biggest one being a major lack of NFL experience on the coaching staff. And yeah, putting a guy who's never worked in the NFL in an executive position raises an eyebrow too. Honestly, the situation it seems to most mirror is what the Eagles did with Chip Kelly.

I'm not "freaking out" at this point, but there are valid reasons to wonder whether or not this is going to work.

So, we've got a new head coach coming in and he's been able to bring about 3/4 of the staff he used at his last spot (two last in some cases) where he was able to turn programs around quickly. Many new head coaches get lucky if they can snag one or two folks they have worked with, so seeing that he is lifting a staff into place from one source, it probably gives him the best chance to succeed.

The fact that they are making the jump from college to pro level is the worrisome one, but there seems to be a sprinkling of NFL experience in there. And he does not seem to be basing his future plans on some revolutionary way to run the game and build teams.

Let's give it some time, because it is going to take some time.

And remember, you wanted change and that always creates at least some suckage.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
