Rhule.  Ultimately it's his call on who the QB is going to be.  But I'm not going to sit here and hollar for him to be fired when his THIRD choice (Watson, Stafford, Darnold) at QB is failing miserably.  ORLY?!?!?!? 

Y'all Darnold was a desperate "We are going to actually try to win games" move instead of rolling with the trash on the roster.  When they were hiding Darnold in the preseason, it's probably because they already knew then what Darnold was.

Keeping Teddy imo would have been the better choice, but I think that bridge was burned last season.

They knew. They probably realized it during training camp

Ultimately, the buck stops with the head coach and GM. They’re responsible for the roster and the talent ( or lack of it) on the field. The oline is awful. Trying to bring in a reclamation project behind those guys was bad. We passed on good prospects in the 2nd and 3rd round last year…and now we don’t have any 2nd and 3rd round picks this year.
 

Darold has to take a large part of the blame. The offensive line hasn’t done him any favors. The receivers have dropped a lot of passes.  But, Sam makes a lot of bad decisions which results in bad plays. I don’t blame him for the 2nd INT today. Jaime Collins just made a great play by leaping into the passing lane. The first and third picks were just bad plays. On both play he was running to the left and attempted to throw across his body without setting his feet, which is difficult for any QB. To make matters worse neither guy was open.  His picks seem to occur when he’s trying to  make something out of nothing. He needs to learn when to give up on dead plays. If hadn’t thrown those two picks and simply kept us in fig range the score could have been 17-13 in the 4th quarter…which is still a winnable game.

Brady’s play calling seem to always result in nearly no points in the 3rd quarter. In two of the past 3 games we’ve been blanked in the 2nd half. 
 

They can still turn things around, but the margin for error is much smaller now. As bad as Darnold has played, I’m still not sure he couldn’t be a viable starter with better coaching. If we could just get the ball to our wideouts more I think we could have a respectable 2nd half of the season.

He decided you can play in the N.F.L. without an Offensive Line

 

 

It's interesting that you made this comment.

For years he worked in the Seattle front office. The one area that the Seahawks seemed to struggle with year in and year out after the back to back SB appearances was the O-line. Some offices just seem to think that a mobile QB like Wilson (and Cam for that matter) do not need a top flight O-line. But, when you look back at the guys with multiple rings from the past 20 years (Big Ben, Eli, Peyton, Brady) they all had good pass blocking lineman during their championship years.

Any great team in NFL history that won multiple titles had great o-lines

The 1960's Packers

The Cowboys, Dolphins, Steelers of the 1970's

The 49ers of the 1980's and the Redskins from 1982-1991 (Remember the Hogs ?)

The Cowboys of the early 1990's

The 1997-1998 Denver Broncos

The Brady/Belichik Patriots

A solid offensive line is a must.

      Has Stank become the 2C?

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3533281/red-hot-stankoven-grows-into-1-st-year-as-hurricanes-2-nd-line-center RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It had been a while since the Carolina Hurricanes had finished practice, with players coming and going from the locker room. Yet Logan Stankoven was still on the ice, leaving a crowd of reporters patiently waiting at his locker. Such is the dynamic for the 23-year-old as the Eastern Conference's top seed heads into Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to face the Philadelphia Flyers. Stankoven has been rolling at nearly a point-per-game pace going back to mid-March, including scoring in every game of Carolina's first-round sweep of Ottawa. Beyond the immediacy of that spotlight, though, is the other piece of Stankoven's story: the Hurricanes are betting he can keep growing into the role as second-line center, coming after spending multiple seasons searching for an answer there.
