you literally said our line would not be better with a good LT.  If you are not drunk you are most certainly on something. But I am done responding to you.  Good night

And I still think that way.. I gave you reason why.. You don't accept them cool..

No need for the personal attacks..

I'm guessing he's got 1 more shot at QB.

Correct.

Maybe that's why Deshaun Watson is his best opportunity to not fug up again...

I suspect that Tepper is the one basically telling them get the deal done. I somewhat suspect Rhule doesn't have the sack to try and get someone better on his own accord.

Now I disagree..

I think they knew the Oline was a major problem and knew this would be a result earlier if he got hit like this consistently in the preseason..

I think that they were praying for a healthy CMC covering for the Oline and gelling together with more reps and time would make them better....

They said early they Hopefully be treating Sam like a rookie and he could game manager for most of the season... Cmac injury, Oline horribleness and now WR dropping everything threw that out the window...

Away with logic you fiend, the mob runs on emotions.

I agree..

I don't blame Rhule in that situation.. After fuging so bad on his 1st 2 shots.. Take the easy route and give the owner what he wants..

Plus, as much as I am taking a cheap shot, I don't think he has the experience or time to be finding a new QB out there. That is basically Fitterer's job. Rhule has his hands MORE than full enough trying to figure out what it takes to be successful in the NFL.

Agreed.. But that what you get when you hire college coach with little pro experience.  You better have patience...

Continuation with Watson: if he doesn't get to play in 22, you essentially can get a free ride in 22. Rhule could turn pockets out to I have terrible QB no picks schtick to get a little more time.

Yep but we are seeing that this owner does not, despite what he said. I suspect that may have to do with the coaching staff, however. I don't think they were ever in on this idea of a "rebuild" they have always been in a win now mode. Which...don't get me wrong, they should be. But that may have gotten Tepper excited, only to see this sort of disappointment. 

If the rumors are true of Rhule talking Tepper out of Fields, this is not a great look this season either.

True. We will see his true colors if we don't get Watson and we continue with Darnold.

Your extreme is the only time in NFL history and the luckiest poo to ever happen...

Add context to your point..

Coming KB was a first round talented player..

He didn't fail because he didn't have talent.. He failed because he likes buffets to much and didn't work on being a good football player...

Different story for Sam... Sam works hard he has talent he just not good... But it's not a bad move to find that out...

The risk reward factor that we thought in the offseason is still the same... Just because the results didn't work doesn't make it a crazy or horrible decision...

You can have revisionist history now and act like you was always against the move..

But reality was it was a low risk high reward move that didn't workout.. Its okay it happens  .

If you added KB to your team today.  You aren’t adding first round talent.  His draft status is irrelevant now.  You are adding a bad WR.   

and when we move on from Sam and someone throws him on a roster as a backup.  They won’t be adding top 5 talent to their team.  They will just be adding a bad QB. 

Revisionist history? I’ve been calling Sam what he is since they put on pads in Spartanburg.   I did the same with Teddy too.   We weren’t getting unknowns.  Both came here and were exactly what they showed the world for years.    I was cool with adding Darnold for cheap to tinker with and see if there was anything there to be fixed.  Not be the guy.

Right but it's not because he doesn't or didn't have 1st round talent... 

CONTEXTS we know now that KB likes to eat and doesn't work on being a better player..

We didn't have those clues on Sam..

Sam is younger player with no questions about effort... The problems he has is something every coach "thinks" they can fix..

Coach Crum had a old saying..

"Give me the athlete and I'll teach them how to play basketball "

Most if not all good coaches think this way...

In reality we didn't risk alot to do exactly what many coaches and football teams think they can do... Get a talented player and coach them up to their potential...

That's what they were planning to do..

Cmac getting hurt, Oline not getting better and now WR dropping easy passes thrown that plan out the window...

We literally had all these clues on Sam.    He has been the worst starter in the NFL the last 3 years coming to this season.   Everything he is doing horribly…..he displayed to the world over the last 3 NFL seasons before he got here.  And he had the issues coming out of college too before the Jets touched him.   He has been the same guy everywhere he has ever played. 

just like with Teddy, some hoped he could be different than what he had proven to be for years and years.    But yeah, we clearly had the clues on Sam.

    • The league would protect him.  The amount of poo Jerry Jones has had exposed and got away with?  The amount of poo Stephen Ross has got away with?  How long Dan Snyder got away with essentially fuging sex trafficking employees and poo???????  Taking down JR was a hit job.  You think the other 31 owners, especially the older ones aren’t blathering, blatant, ignorant ass, bigoted rich racists who have committed far worse things than Blue Jean Fridays?  The ones I named above have DEFINITELY did worse than what JR was accused of.  And do you think guys like Steve Smith would’ve been viewing him as a father figure if they felt that’s who he was?  JR pissed the league off with that last lockout situation and they made him pay.  They lined a new guy up to join their billionaire boys club in Tepper, and they prolly slid a pretty penny to Jonathan Jones to write the “expose,” to get JR out of here.  Again, all the owners I’ve listed above have been verified on record for doing worse poo, yet they’re still running their organizations, unquestioned.  They hand-picked Tepper long before JR was forced out, so he isn’t going anywhere.  Sadly.  fug the NFL.  (Also, to be clear, it’s always fug racism, bigotry, and sexual exploitation - not ever excusing it.  Just making the point that the NFL isn’t operating under this clear standard of justice applied to each and every case)
    • I was still in the throes of a contentious divorce and my job at the time had me work on Sundays.  At the beginning of the season I tried to still work around Sundays so I could see our games.  I think after Bryce came back from the benching, I said fug it.  First time in my life I intentionally didn’t watch our games, even through the Atlanta finale.  In the past, even if we didn’t live up to expectations, I would watch to still support and at least analyze player development, strengths and weaknesses, coaching, etc., but Bryce makes all of that a moot point, so I stopped watching. Again, this is asinine,  it if he is retained (still can’t believe this is even a possibility of a conversation due to how shitty our organization has become under Tepper), I will NOT watch next season until he is gone.
