Still rebuilding?

He saw something this year like we all did. We are a QB away from being a playoff caliber teams and a defensive player or 2 away from being a threat to shake things up in the playoffs. Why would you not want to adjust to the scenario instead of being complacent. This tells me he had faith in Rhule but thought it would take longer and didn’t expect him to translate to the NFL as well as he did in year 1. He is not perfect but he is in the top 20 of production in comparison to his peers last year. How we handle the personnel this year will tell us if he’s capable of sustaining the foundation to build from.

With Marty Hurney...

"This is gonna take a while, maybe up to five years. I ask you to trust the process."

Scott Fitterer takes over...

"We'll offer you the number eight overall pick, our fifth rounder and Teddy Bridgewater in exchange for Matt Stafford. What do you think?"

I mean everyone thinks we're so far off from competing when we're really not. Our offense is good, just need a QB and a couple linemen. Our line wasn't as bad last year as others think it was. The line gave Teddy many opportunities every game to do something and he just didn't. On defense, we're only going to get better with the young guys, just need a couple DBs and a LB or 2. We're closer than people think. Fitterer may see it the same way also.

I mean how can’t anyone else see it was all qb we lost all 8 games within 7 points. I mean u win half of those we would have been close to playoffs with a first year coach during what u thought was a rebuild during a pandemic. You only imagine how this team does with a good qb that can win more one score games. Tepper sees this team is a whole lot better than he thought.

Kinda odd to hold him to that considering he was still operating with Richardson regimen up until the beginning of last year.

To be fair though, that was by his own choice.

He could have ripped the Band-Aid off immediately. It's been done before.

Tb wasn’t horrible by any means. Like Dennis Green said (TB) was he who thought he was. Sad thing is we overcompensated in comparison to the Saints. They have a playoff team that even a mediocre to bad QB could go in and look decent. It happens, you learn form it. Sad thing is Tepper is going to lose 20 million in the process of learning to equate to next to nothing, but that should motivate him to be more stringent evaluating significant decisions like that again and leave it up to some one with a track record that is favorable.

In short, yes, we are still rebuilding.  It is year two.  While I don't expect playoffs, I expect no less than .500.  I mean we were a handful of choked FGs and bad decisions by Bridgewater from that this year.  This with rookies and scrub FAs scattered throughout our defense.

Would you drop the ax on Rhule if we are sub .500 this year again?
