How is this the same tried bs though? Or are you just talking about being critical of Rhule?

I just think it is an odd enough call to question Rhule on it.   He is very green so things are going to happen.   

Not thinking your 24 year old QB who is brand new and hasn’t been a very good QB to date….doesn’t need preseason game 1 or 2 is unusual enough to call out IMO. 

I mean, the case could be made Sam is once again not being out in the best position to succeed.  His QB room sucks.  His OL sucks.  And now we are holding him out of game simulation reps which isn’t the norm for someone like him.  I know I know….great weapons and Joe Brady.  Those are great things he hasn’t had.   But some of Sam’s issues have always been Sam.  

My take is that one or two series in a meaningless game is not worth getting upset about. The Colts and Panthers went at it pretty hard. I expect there to be some fight and penalties this Sunday. The offense hasn't been fully installed and the starters just practiced for 4 hours against the Colts. So I don't see the problem in waiting until week 2. We may or not have a worthwhile backup which we need to find. So both guys will get plenty of action against a good team and we need to nail down our backup wide receivers.  Other than the disappointment of not seeing him play, what is the big deal? No argument I have heard to start him is very convincing so far..

I don’t think there really is one. It’s all the staff’s preference and not too relevant until game 3 when they are getting in sync fir the regular season. We still don’t even know who our starters are on the offensive line yet…. I think us fans are just trying to find something to discuss this early in preseason.

But there are compelling reasons to get PJ and Will work to see what they can do. And to see guys like CJ in action to determine if he is the real deal. Frankly I am glad the starters are sitting. I haven't heard or seen much of the starters let alone the backups.

The difference between Superbowl winners vs pretenders

We aren’t winning the Super Bowl this year so let’s keep working on developing our team with our coach who is known for turning teams around in a short period of time.

That's why I'm not too concerned with the record this year, history says he doesn't have a winning season until about the 3rd year, but that was College..... COLLEGE FOOTBALL VS NFL...

Yep the 3rd year has been his sweet spot. The players seem to be buying in to the culture. Some progression this year would definitely go a long way. Fair point about college vs NFL.

Stafford isn’t playing with his new team in preseason game 1. Who does McVay think he is?!?!

Rams are a win now playoff team that added a strong veteran QB to hopefully put them over the top. 

we are a 5 win team trying to rehab a young bust QB

these two things are not the same. 

overall NFL coaches are repping guys like Sam Darnold.    Rhule is against the grain here.  That is what it is.   You can be cool with Rhule not doing what experienced NFL coaches are doing.  Maybe he is smarter than them.  But it remains something fair to point out.

Are you mad at other teams that sat out their QB1?

 

Are you just mad because Rhule does things differently?

 

Or are you mad because Sam will miss a handful of snaps. In a meaningless Pre Season game?

 

You are willing to risk injury. In a week 1 Pre Season game. And I think it's fair to call you out on that.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
