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.

      Did we really shut them down though? They had 369 yards of offense.   That is 9 more yards than they average per game and 53 more than we give up per game this year.   If a team gave up 369 yards per game on defense, they'd be the 7th worst defense in the league this year. Yes, I will give our defense credit for having the 4th down stand near our goal line as well as creating the fumble that stopped their first drive, as they did rise to the occasion then, but even the INT was just a ridiculous play/throw and handed it to us and they also missed a FG. We didn't force them into a single punt all game.  We had 1 sack on a QB who had 37 pass attempts. They had drives of 56, 49, 50, 43, 58, and 71 yards (while we only had 2 over 40 yards ourselves). We bent, a lot, but never really broke, partially due to the Packers own mistakes, that's a far cry from "shutting them down" in my opinion.  Again, this is why I'm critical of us after a day like today, I'm able to look beyond a final score and evaluate how we played on the whole, and we keep squeaking out these wins despite not playing well at all.  And yes, that is what great teams do, but they also play well in the majority of their games, where as all we seem to do is squeak out ugly wins without ever playing all that well. I'm not saying I'm unhappy that we won, I've never once said anything like that, but when week after week I see serious concerns with how we played, then I'm going to call out what I see.
