Guarantee if we would have kept Cam.... we’d be reading endless threads about OL help and how shitty the defense is. 

Please no more two glove wearing QBs. Ever.

If they don’t get a QB of the future I’m going to lose interest in this team fast.

How would this manifest itself?

If we didn't sign Bridgewater, we would've had money to put into the OL.

Agreed. Signing Bridgewater was one of the stupidest decisions I have ever seen a front office make.

But I strongly dislike his penchant for signing and starting players solely because he coached them in college. 

Let's examine this statement for factual content.  (Hint:  It's not really very solid)

There are five players from Temple on our active roster:  Robby Anderson, Sam Franklin, Colin Thompson, PJ Walker and Tahir Whitehead.

Tahir Whitehead was never coached by Matt Rhule while at Temple.  During TW's college days, Rhule was various flavors of offensive assistant at Temple.  Rhule never actually coached him.

Robby Anderson has been great.  One of our best FA WR's . . . ever?  I can't think of a better one at least.  Maybe Keyshawn?

We only have one Baylor Bear on the roster:  Bravion Roy.  He's actually been pretty good this year on a bad defense.  He hasn't been outstanding by any means, but he hasn't looked out of place either.

So, in all, there are five players on the active roster that Rhule coached in college, one a big part of our offense, the other a nice depth piece on defense.  Honestly, on a team as lacking in talent as this one, it's not really all that different than playing the averages.

We also have four players from South Carolina . . . does that mean Rhule favors Gamecocks as well?

Look, Rhule has made some mistakes, but don't buy into all the hype about him bringing in players he's coached.  Sure, media and coverage guys talk about it because, well, they need something to talk about.  It's just not that big a deal.

Panthers havent closed well. But they have been in almost every game. That last sentence is amazing to me with the lack of talent we have on this team, especially defense. The future is bright fellas. TB isn't the QB of the future and everyone on the team knows it. He is the QB now. That's it.

Excellent question. Two of those Gamecock players were acquired when Rhule was still at Baylor.

This team has excelled given the talent level of the roster. Sure, point out the Jets, Bengals, Jags, etc, but they also have a couple studs sprinkled into their rosters. I believe this team could have been at .500 right now with a couple of better late-game decisions- be they from the HC, OC or whomever; and that's a far cry from where I originally saw this team at 4-12.

Ah, I see sarcasm is beyond you.  I'll keep it in mind.

If we were open to keeping Cam, we might have been more interested in Bieniemy (who by all accounts I've read was not given as much consideration because he wanted to keep Cam). I'm interested to see how he does when he finally gets a HC gig.

Just use some creativity and don’t reply to my posts with pedantic responses.

As a procedural thing, I understand feeling the need to get the play call in sooner.

As a reality thing, I understand that the play produced a wide open WR in the end zone for what would've been a game winning TD and Teddy admitted he would've checked out of that play that we know in hindsight worked to perfection (aside from his wildly errant pass). So Teddy didn't just fail in the execution of the play but also in his pre-snap read.
