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.

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
