Not sure you can claim yet that he sucks here until after he has played several regular season games.  If he sucks at mid season, your conjecture is substantiated.

It’s weird how our last 3 GMs have all not prioritized OL

** This ** It's getting old.

Putting an already shell shocked Qb with happy feet behind a below average offensive line?? What could possibly go wrong?!

It is only the start of year 2, of a major overhaul. Too many folks have lost sight of that fact.

Did I say Rhule was going to be crap as an NFL coach? I never hinted at such a thing.

You don't know that those guys will be three quality starters. You think they will be because of early results. That said, like every other draft, it takes a few years to know for sure.

Never claimed that I know if they will be a success. That is projection on your part.

You claim that what Rhule and Fitterer's predecessors did doesn't matter, yet you bring up Johnson as historical proof that you're in the right. Doesn't work that way. What Johnson did doesn't matter to what Rhule and Co will do since what their predecessors did doesn't matter. You can't have it both ways.

What does matter is that Rhule was half of a leadership team that produced bad results(a losing season since this in the NFL along with some player issues). Rhule doesn't get a magical do over just because his first partner has been replaced. He not only needs to learn from his mistakes, but also those his predecessors made.

Theres a difference between general examples and specific ones.

Many new coaches have had rough first years then turned out fine. And what's additionally consistent with all of those examples is this:

Nothing any of their predecessors did mattered.

Same as now, Rhule will either have the skill and the knowledge to succeed or he won't purely on his own merit.

I look at last year like this:  Is CMC worth two wins a year?

I believe he is.  I may be right or wrong, but I think having CMC in your lineup for 16 games is worth a couple wins.  In which case, we see last year as 7-9.

Brand new coach and staff comes in.  Takes over a very old team that completely gave up.  cleans the roster out nearly completely.  No offseason to speak of.  No preseason.

How many games did we lose by one score?

5-11?  Without CMC?  That's an amazing season.  We're going to be even better this season.  Yea, we have question marks.  So do the other teams.

This season was never slated to be a playoff year for us.  This is the year we see the foundation of what we're building.  That's all.  If we win 9 games this year it would be way ahead of schedule.  7 or 8 is probably about right.

Relax and enjoy the ride.

Just wait, I think there maybe a quick hook for some of the OLmen. Rhule said over and over hes looking for the best 5. I think this is best 5

LT- Moton

LG- Daley

C- Paradis

RG- Brown

RT- CHrist

Erving is the top backup across the line. Elf is the #3 C/OGs. 

Whatever the number of draft picks, use half on the OL.

Can they use a 2-tight-end set(or whatever that's called) to help with the pass-blocking?

Well there is this one play…

Normally you hear coaches talk about scheming around their weakness. How the heck do you scheme around this o-line???

We should know quickly. The Jets Defensive line Is rated among the best in the AFC East.
