Fair point.

But of course, one person's criteria differs from another, especially Rhule and company.

For example, while you may say "You know what?  He's just not the guy", they could say "You know what?  He's shown enough to have a future here". 

We'll just have to see what transpires...and it begins next Sunday.

Moving on from Teddy after only one season with significant dead cap tied up in him gives me hope we won't drag our feet if Sam isn't the answer. The one big question I have is just how much of a role Teddy throwing the staff under the bus for his missing of a wide open DJ in the endzone played in that decision because it certainly seemed like there was a stark change in attitude from the franchise toward Teddy after that. Would Teddy have possibly gotten a second year without that gaffe? I honestly have no idea but I have an inkling that it would have at least been a topic of discussion rather than a done deal.

This is actually a good point. There was a noticeable tone change from Rhule after that happened. Does Sam get extra leeway if/when he underperforms?

I doubt he will be dumb enough to throw the staff under the bus like Teddy did.

I think Teddy was a bad fit in hindsight for a super green staff.  Especially one trying to figure it out in the shortened COVID lead up.  Sam could probably be slightly worse than Teddy and they stick with him.  Because Sam isn't going to always give the textbook response.

If Teddy was willing to say that publicly, then I can only guess what he was saying to teammates.

I’m sure team unity was a big factor in that decision as well.

If this happens, it's time to move on from Rhule and stop looking at college coaches and analytics. Tepper will dig himself in a hole for the next twenty years signing this contracts and not amounting to poo. But, this won't happen. Even with PJ, we're capable of at least last year's record. Team this talented going 5-12 won't happen, unless CMC gets hurt. This tanking poo and being awful at tanking is annoying b/c tepper still wants to sell tickets.

Rum is almost the Huddle swami at this point.

Remember this? It wasn't exactly right about us if course, but it was damned close. We didn't suck enough and the other bottom feeders weren't good enough to lan us the first pick.

Just about nailed us, but I guess we were fairly easy.  They were dramatically wrong regarding Jacksonville, as they didn't improve even a little.

With our line its a roll of the dice. The starters are bad and the back ups worse. Darnald might not stay healthy and we might just get that #1.

Qb is least of the panthers problems. They need linemen and coaching. Just wait it out and get Young the following yr. If you build the line and Sam somehow plays better then it's not as bad.Before they do anything he needs to hire some good NFL caliber coaches. Don't  want to be the jags.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
