The problem with this is the oline statistically ranks as the worst in the league…in basically all measures. Dead last. An average game here or there out of 17 is not a consistent trend…the statistics tell you what the consistent trends are and it’s not pretty.

Moving out to all other seasons in the past 2 decades, again, the oline is in the bottom 10. That’s bottom 10 out of almost 650 olines for every team for 20 years. I mean 15 sacks, most under 2.5 seconds (average time to throw), often far less, in two games is really unheard of at this level.

That is just insane to think about.

Weak OL needs good coaching and playcalling.  We have a bad OL and bad coaching/play calling.  And bad QB play.

OL does suck. 

But if it is all the OL and not coaching (lack thereof)…..why does the OL manage to allow somewhat respectable offense early and then get blown up after they get a chance to look at our whack game plans? Check the first quarter vs 3rd.  Same thing each week. 

and why does the OL offense work every time Rhule debuts a new QB? And then once he keeps putting the same guy out there it turns to poo.

if it is all OL and not also coaching….you wouldn’t see the clear discrepancies 

Only Discrepancies I see is (depending on the team) they take a half or more to figure out how our game plan works with this horrible Oline then just stop our run game and blitz the poo out of us.. 

The 1st 3 games we had a healthy CMC so the dinking and dunking was a effective offense... When you didn't have CMC you can blitz the poo out of us with no fear CMC breaking a short pass for 60 yards...

Now that you mentioned it and I looked it up most of the games you're talking about and we had a new starting QB.. Cmac was playing... So there is your answer..

The Oline is terrible unless CMAC is fully healthy.. No matter who the QB is team figured out they can blitz the poo out of us and best the Oline unless Cmac is playing..

Lol

Not a single blitz. Simple straight up four man rushes on every snap.

That's the story they didn't even try to blitz because they knew they weren't going to get there.. Teams know they are going to get a 2 free rushers so they come with the blitz every 3rd down no matter the down and distance..

I can agree but is it the chicken or the egg situation??

At this point.. If the Coach doesn't change and The QB'S aren't changing what can be changed in this situation?? The horrible Oline..

I mean, you basically acknowledge my point in your first paragraph.  A legit NFL staff is able to mitigate the impact of how bad the OL is throughout a game.    This staff hangs them out to try. 

it’s been discussed early this season back when Joe Brady was fired that this staff isn’t able to scheme and gameplan at this level.  That shows as the season goes along and in each game. 

Rhule and company are playing checkers and that gets a bad OL heavily exploited as a game goes along.

We should get rid of the chicken and the egg.  I still see no reason Matt Rhule should get a year 3.

How are you going to scheme not having more then .2 seconds to throw the ball?? Without a Cmac, Kamara, Terek Hill or any other dynamic weapon..

Let's also remember both WR have drop issues and RB aren't great with there hands either..

We should and will are 2 different things. 

But it still doesn't change how bad this Oline is... And you for some strange reason actually can't see how bad they really are..

Offenses are often synergistic.... The reverse us happening for us. The whole is even worse than the sum of its shitty parts.

The problem with Sam is that he can't make good throws deep, and he generally screws up any difficult pass. So we face defenses that sit on shorter routes and they start getting pass defections. At that point we don't have an answer unless we can ram the run down their throat. Things are over as soon as we're down by too much and have to throw deeper passes, and then come the INTs from that useless dope Sam. He's been a loser his entire career, and now we owe him 18 million dollars.

The biggest problem is Tepper IMO

he hired the coach because the coach reminded Tepper of himself. A sloppy pot belly guy who has crumbs and mustard stains on his shirt. 

this coach then thinks he’s good enough to fix Darnold. 
 

Darnold has every physical tool needed to succeed. Big arm, can move, size etc. but the guy can’t process the game. He’s in fear mode as soon as the ball is snapped. 
 

This franchise is being run into the ground

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
