Wanting to win is OK

From working directly with the team for the last 10 years, the mindset is to always win. But this year is different. When you have an aging roster, then I can see wanting to play younger guys, see how they do because you don't care if you win or lose. But this year just feels different. The whole feeling around the organization is we are building toward a winner for years to come. It starts with a winning attitude all the time. 

Coaches need to put players in a position to win or they look bad to the players. Players want to look good so they can have a long career and make more money. Draft picks are not always guaranteed to work out so play with what you got, pick or sign who you can and make them winners. I believe Rhule does that.

The fact we won without CMC and a rash if injuries should tell us something, even with Teddy. 2 or 3 good picks, a couple of more nice FA signings and we have a team that will win more games. Repeat and by 2022 we are competing to go deep into the playoffs. I can wait.

In the beginning of the year I said I did not care about the record, I just wanted to see a competitive team and for the most part, we got that. You build a winner by always trying to win, not matter who's on the team, draft status, who's in the stands (or not) and most important for yourself (as a player and coach). 

The same people saying we should get this guy or that guy will be the same people complaining who ever we get. Lets see how it plays out and just root for the team.

Wanting something is fine so long as you can be smart about it. You can want a Taycan but if it’s not in your budget you know losing, in your heart, and settling for a Tesla Model 3 is likely better for your long term future, you know what to do...

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      If a backup QB comes into a game down by 3 scores, they're passing. It's probably going to be 4:1 pass to run. The stats are going to be skewed. It's not going to be an accurate reflection of an entire game plan from start to finish. Pretty simple stuff.

      if you are talking game production as the discussion, you basically are forced to remove them to even get in the realm of honest discussion.  Shough has a 2 pass 4th quarter game and a late 3rd quarter entrance game.  That will wildly distort the numbers if you are wanting to talk about what he has done in games.   and the generally narrative we talk about most QBs is their starts.  Because that what a QB is.  The Bryce gymnastics and gaslighting and way worse than the "hate" around here.

      Well I'm watching every game this season so it's the same football, same time frame. I see things differently than you do. I can't tell what your actual opinion is because lately it's been coming from Joe Person and others.  For someone who doesnt believe in stats you sure as poo seem to be hung up on them. And let's not forget, Jake was a practice squad QB, not the number 1 overall draft pick. They aren't even comparable in expectations of past performance or expected level of QB play.  I didn't even mention stats for the 1st 2 years with Bryce. That would be you. What he looked like from the 1st 2 years was that same QB with the same god awful mechanics making throws squared up to the line, not driving his passes, bailing out of the pocket too early, sloppy footwork on drop backs, hopping to get his pass over the line because he's not tall enough to actually throw over a defensive player. When things aren't perfect, he looks like that same awful rookie player. That's why I said you can't ignore past performance. You go back and look to see if he's still doing those things or if he's developing.
