Was viewing the game yesterday with Lady Cowboy Fan when we heard Matt Millen and his broadcast partner talk about believing in Rhule and saying that he deserved another year.

She laughed and asked what games these guys were watching.

Getting a vote of confidence from Matt Millen is a sure sign of failure. That guy was horrible in Detroit for years

We keep Rhule and fix the oline.  Darnold turns out to be pretty good with protection.  Defense gets time to rest and plays elite.  We go the playoff and look like legit contenders. 

Will your opinion of Rhule change?

Protection is talked about far too much by the Darnold apologists.  Let me lay some stats on ya.

Here are the current sacks surrendered numbers for the league:

Yep, there we are 4th from bottom.  Our line is terrible.  However, Cincy is WORSE.  And yet . . .

There's Joe Burrow, top five in passing yards and completion percentage.  #6 in TD's.  Oh, his team is 10-6 and have their division wrapped up.

Ryan Tannehill with Tennessee is struggling this year, not a great line.  Lots of sacks.  Yet that team is 11-5, in the playoffs, and scoring 24 per game.

I definitely agree, it's much easier when you have a good line.  By the same token, a good QB and scheme can do things even with a bad line.

I'm sure Ron Rivera would find that information very useful.

Me? Not really up for hoping that we can be some kind of odd exception to the rule.

Not a chance. Rhule isn't capable of turning it around I do not believe. I do however believe that Rhule gets close to a .599 winning percentage with luck and Tepper decided to keep him another year more and then we go something like 3-14 in 2023 finally firing this guy but by that time the franchise could be in such bad shape that it will take 5 years to even sniff playoffs with an actual good legitimate NFL head coach.

I think we can discuss this more logically in the offseason as there is almost no room here to give Rhule and Tepper some benefit without being strung up.

For me Rhule was always on a three year program. It takes an amount of time to instill a brand and a philosophy. And while we are all frustrated I am perfectly happy to see if Matt can turn it around. And Tepper who I am sure hates this more than anyone.

I imagine Rhule will be on the top of the hotseat list next year and a candidate to be the first coach fired next year if we aren't on track to make the playoffs.

So I am not freaking out. yet.

And Tepper is not trying to leave Charlotte. Just stfu if you think this.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
