And ppl think Tepper is going to give him time lol

I never did

Tepper did not get where he is because of patience

he follows instincts and this time it seems his instincts betrayed him. 
 

I remember a saying going “sometimes what you know interferes with what you need to learn ‘ 

there was really nothing in Rhule’s past that indicated he was ready for the keys to a 2 billion dollar franchise   Talk is cheap. Never heard  a nfl HC talk so much

listening to Matt Rhule talk about Darnold's injury is painful.  He essentially plays the dumb schmuck role so hard.  Listen, guys, I am not in a position to ask Sam about when all this happened lol.   He should watch some Fox/Rivera pressers on how to not answer questions.

Every single thing about him screams used car salesman.

lol, I don't know who the dude was that followed up on Joe Person's question.  Something along the lines of, Matt you might of answered this but I want to ask again, how could you NOT (his emphasis) sign Cam Newton lol.  Rhule probably going to get him banned.

People can say what they want, but the reason Cam isn't here to begin with is Rhule.  The QB stuff has very little to do with Fitt.  Rhule is the one who said he couldn't wait to coach Cam and then got rid of him, vouched for and wanted both Teddy and Sam, and he's the one who brought Brady in and is overseeing this whole clusterfug that we call an offense.  It all starts and ends with Rhule...  and he can't and won't bring in Cam because it would be him admitting he wasn't right to move on from him in the first place.  And from Cam's perspective, would you trust to sign back with this coaching staff after all that bullshit they pulled last offseason before releasing him (see above: "can't wait to coach Cam")?  

It would be absolutely exhilarating if we were able to sign him and bring him back though.  I know the odds are all but zero, but it would re-energize the fanbase and would definitely give this team a shot to make a run in the playoffs.  I could see Cam accepting the opportunity if presented, but I just don't see Rhule admitting he was wrong and even approaching Cam to come back.

And shout out to the reporter that asked it, especially in that fashion.

Nope he would rather be fired than admit that

Yup, and thats what is so fascinating about his ego to me.  This isn't Temple or Baylor, bro...  This is pro football and the name of the game is winning and profits.  So, the part that is really intriguing to me is, I assume Tepper only acquiesced to Cam's release as part of the "giving full control" to Rhule and believing in his plan to rebuild the team.  But, now, seeing what is happening on the field, as well as in the stands every Sunday, I can't help buy think Tepper is sitting there internally raging because he knows Cam would fix both problems, but the coach he handed the keys to won't have his ego trampled upon.

Also, this is the 4th straight year that Darnold hasn't been able to stay healthy am entire season.

But we didn't need a real backup QB, of course.

And how many games have Elflein and Erving missed so far?

Let's get a broken QB with injury history, put him behind an OL with significant injury history, not bring in any competent backup QBs to either help the broken QB in the QB room or step in if he gets hurt, ignore the obvious brewing problems in these units thru preseason and our first few games, and then totally fail to address either by the trade deadline. Brilliant!

Remember the whole treating Darnold like a rookie?  I'd that's true... any rookie we draft is fuged too.

I still wonder if part of getting rid of Cam wasn't Tepper wanting his guy, and not someone he inherited. Not that Tepper would ever admit that.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
