Yep.  Rhule could've drafted James Lynch, Mims, Matt Hennessy, etc. and we didn't so peeps need to cool it on the Temple/Baylor system devotion train.  

We do have a fair share or Owls but Baylor, not the case.  Robby Anderson, Hasaan Reddick, Franklin, Chandler, Thompson, Walker are left I think.  That's 6 and a maybe, and what like Roy DT & Johnston LB from Baylor.   8 of ~58 remaining isn't some ridiculous amount, especially when most deserve it.   

Actually, it's a legit concern.

Prior to today, there were 39 players from Baylor and Temple on NFL rosters.  Of those 39, 10 were on the Panthers roster.  25% of the NFL players from those two schools were on our roster.  That should be concerning to anyone.

It may look very different after today, and I hope it does.  However, you cannot dismiss the concerns so easily.  It's very clear there is a bias there.  It's one thing if that bias was leading us to success, but in this case success is certainly not something we've experienced very much of recently.

I'm really just a year or two ahead of everyone else when I say I don't like our GM and I don't like our coach. I've said I didn't like Rhule since last fall, though, and I will continue to get flamed for not loving that clown until we're one of the three worst teams in the league and everyone says "Rhule sucks!"

Been through it before...

Show your working out.

This is the same fanbase that eviscerated Ron for playing favorites, but they love Rhule for playing favorites. Who knows? Maybe we'll win the AAC and be a Top 25 team this season.

I think a major part of that is we had a mass exodus last year prior to covid hitting and needed some bodies to field a team.  As a first year coach, without much help from useless Hurney, you get some players you're familiar with.  Now we're starting to see that's not really how Rhule wants to operate, it was a stop gap measure.

Not to mention...you saw/heard how much he cares about having a specific "type" of guy.

Guys who love football...many in the NFL do not.

Thomas Oliver III CB

Melvin CB

Thomas TE

Ricci TE

Robinson S

Chandler S

RSmith RB

Cannon RB/WR

Bonnefon RB/QB?

My guess (assuming I did not list someone who has already been cut) that this is where we are--who amongst these players will go?

Not getting into the LS competition yet.

Are we looking to trade Thomas? 

Of this list, Melvin, Chandler, Smith and Bonnafon. Robinson could make it over Chandler but he could be gone also. Rhule stated a few weeks back that he didn’t have a great camp and he’s been injured. He played well against the Colts though.

I mean, he doesn't seem to have a Baylor preference.  We have as many Baylor guys as Ole Miss, Minnesota & Maryland respectively.  Hell, we've got 2 OL from Western Michigan.  4 Gamecocks.  

He has a Temple thing (potentially 5-7 players on active), not a Baylor one.  And it's being widdled down after settling in.  Of course he'll start with the familiarity and what he sees as known commodities that he has experience with.

"Prior to today" is the operative portion of that post. Who cares. Mostly a bunch of guys who are going to get cut. Everyone has 30 camp fodder players that have little to no shot of making the roster every off-season. And Haason Reddick and Robby Anderson at the least would make 32/32 teams in the league. 

 

Mostly just a bunch of crying losers that want to complain about something.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
