“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)

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
