“A great developer of talent...”(the best).

Recommended Posts

I’m not in the draft/college world as much as some of y’all are.

Can anyone tell me in the past 10 years how many of Rhules players had been drafted and are still playing in the NFL?

So far I count 8-10, only 2 Baylor players and this draft class is not looking any better.

Thanks!

Wow talk about a stretch argument.

Temple record 2-10, 6-6, 10-3

Baylor 1-11, 7-6, 11-3

These are 2 schools that make due with 3 star prospects and don’t have the Chase Youngs, Bosas, or the Tua’s lining up to play there.

Dion Dawkins gonna get paid (Rhule player)

Robby Anderson has said multiple times that Rhule is what kept him playing football and would probably not be where he is today without him.

He’s developed players to fit his program and not Saban or Dabo their talent (ie pay for it)

So how many of rhules players have had success in the NFL? 

We already know he never beat a ranked team in college.

There’s another concept out there: acquire talent, work that talent into your scheme while also adapting your scheme around that talent. Talent development is still an important deal in the NFL. I think the team is working hard to sell this angle to help justify a reset. I’m not certain how translatable Rhule’s “program building” rep is at the pro level. I’m not ruling it out. I’m just a healthy skeptic.

Chip Kelly. You know my opinion. We’ve seen this before when it comes to “program”.

This is more about how has the collective NFL felt about his players being skilled, professional and ready for the NFL aka developed to an NFL level. According to the body that is the NFL.

2 players from Baylor. With 3 projected in late rounds on deck. That doesn’t really show “best”, “great” or even “good” developing of talent. 

It shows Tepper is banking on a college scheme to work in the NFL. He’s willing to take the risk. But are the fans?

Chip Kelly also had a more NFL-experienced coaching staff/front office in 2013 w/ Philly. I’m not anti-Matt. But I’m not 100% sold on the front office or staff right now. That doesn’t mean I won’t be wrong. It just feels a bit off to me. That’s all.

I agree. Give him the chance to actually get players on the same level and see how he does. Guys go to the big name schools because they want to get on the big time stage so they can get drafted. Turning schools with middle of the road and lesser talent from terrible records to solid winning records is an accomplishment.

Nobody has ever said my path to the NFL runs through Baylor or Temple.

The go to big name schools because they know the program will be better. It will afford them more opportunities to prove themselves. It’s up to the players after the program what to do with themselves. So far not a lot of rhule people have done anything football-wise.

It might not be an indicator of developing talent, but for me, it is an indicator of doing more with less. That's a very translatable skill imo. It shows an understanding of total team dynamics and utilizing your available pieces to greatest benefit.

Rhule may or may not pan out, but I agree that he's worth the risk given his track record. (at multiple spots)

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
