Tepper.

He hired Rhule, and let him get away with hiring this coaching staff which lacked NFL experience. He bid against the Giants for him, but also himself. 2 huge red flags.

Furthermore it is without a doubt that Tepper is the one pushing the QB at any cost moves hurting this Franchise. His rebuild remarks are a bold faced lie.

IMO Tepper is the Browns owner if old. He's only interested in drafting and signing players that sell t-shirts and jerseys. He's too short sighted to create the real money maker, and that's a winning, playoff caliber football team because that means spending some high draft picks on guys that don't sell jerseys.

He's a spoiled rich kid no one ever could tell no.

That's one of my biggest issues with Rhule, you're not going to win in the NFL with a bunch of average players. Rhule still thinks this the Big XII and you can coach up everybody, you need talent at the highest level.

It's a combination of arrogance and ignorance.  A cocktail that makes the worst NFL coaches.

Rhule. I agree with *Rayzor--we need to get his hand off the steering wheel this coming offseason and see what Fit can do. There's a dual nature to the current situation with Rhule having final say.  This is his animal and has been since he was brought in.

We've got a Coach+GM combo man with a GM advisor right now and it blows.

I blame the O-line before Darnold...  And I blame the coaching staff the same...  Tom Brady would look like a bum if he played here....

I disagree about Brady looking like a bum. 2015 was probably one of the worst offenses he played on and he had a terrible offensive line and still made it to the AFC Championship and barely lost to the Broncos.

I now understand why the Jets didn’t want to give 100 percent control to Rhule when they had planned to hire him. 

Chip Kelly was having success until he wrestled full control and then it all fell apart very quickly. Very few are cutout to wear both the coach and the GM hat. It's just too much on one person's plate.

I blame them all, but Brady gets the least of my ire. Honestly, Darnold should have never been brought in. He’s not a NFL QB

Only so much you can blame the fans. While we should have some input, our thoughts should not go into who is brought in, but I will say a certain segment of our fans damn near ran the best thing we had out of town. They complained of a certain QB not being up to par, and the QB that certain segment of fans wanted to champion is exactly what they complained of with this current QB. Some of them still got too much pride to admit wrong, though

    • TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL
    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
