I am going against the majority opinion but I think we are stuck with Rhule for at least the remainder of this season and at least half of next season.  Tepper isnt going off half cocked by not at least seeing what the remainder of this year and the first half of next brings.

I would say that IF we weren't completely spiraling. If we continue to play like we did today, Thule won't get another season. He was brought here to change the culture. It looks like the team isn't buying in and he brought in a TON of his guys into the lockerroom. If he can't get this team to buy in, then he's not cut out for the NFL.

Hard to say.  Contract says you would think he would get more time. 

unless he is 100% different behind closed doors.  He doesn’t inspire much confidence.  At least not to me.  If things keep going south at the current trajectory…..it will be really hard to keep Rhule I think.   I mean we aren’t beating Philly and the Giants.   Hard to see us beating anyone right now.   Granted CMC will be back but who even knows if he can stay on the field at this point. 

I’m not a Rhule fan so I know I look at him with my own bias…but I think he has come off really poorly since camp.

I’m now thinking 5 wins is what we are looking at.  That’s gonna be a tough sell to the masses.

This guy was Hurney's final gift, and quite possibly his biggest.

My thought as well.  Why Tepper was taking any input from Hurney at that point is puzzling to say the least.

I can understand why some people would want to believe that but the truth is there if you look for it. Tepper signs the checks he bought the hype hook line and sinker and barely a year later Hurney was gone. I do believe this has been the Rhule show from the jump. Hopefully this will be a learning experience from Tepper but if not well you already know lol.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
