"It's working, you just can't see it"

Putting feelings towards Rhule to one side I was trying to get my head round what he meant by it.

obviously the results aren’t there, we are in constant cases of ill discipline, being out coached, lack of execution.

So to me that means the mantra that Shaq echoed… 

“Get better each day”

So I can only assume that what Rhule is saying it that he sees all the players continuing to buy into this concept, continuing to pour in the time and effort and dedication to try and build up.

So that to me says the team hasn’t quit on him, also it would get something tangible that people can see in the building that might defy logic when you only see the field.

So in terms of culture building that might be a step forward from what we had previously.

The issue though is that it actually highlights that coaching is even more an issue.

1. Players are improving themselves but their play isn’t, suggesting that coaches aren’t actually developing them in a positive / cohesive way

2. our game plans suck if our players are more dedicated than they ever were under previous regimes.

So I can kinda understand where he’s trying to come from, I just think it highlights even bigger issues

Yup, that whole presser was an absolute trainwreck of the highest magnitude.  Revealed a lot about him and what he thinks of himself.

Imagine you working a job, absolutely sucking and by all observable metrics are failing miserably at it, and then telling the people that evaluate you, "It's working.  You just can't see it.  There's a process underneath the results.  I'm sorry you can't see it yet. But, it's 1000 percent working."

If rebuilding a team "takes time", why did you carry on like we're in win-now mode and not just take our lumps with the QB situation, as opposed to spending good money and draft capital on middling to bad QBs? Why pass up on Justin Fields for Sam Darnold? It takes time to make things worse--dig an even bigger hole--and then try and fix it during your third draft without making the whole even deeper also. Time isn't infinite, and there is nothing magical about seven years.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
