I dont understand why some "people" have a problem with Rhule liking Jay-z??? Hes like the ideal american success story. Dude went from crack dealer project dweller....Rejected by every major record label in his career to where he had to create his own. They become the biggest label.. became a living legend as far as rappers go. President of Def Jam, Marries the Baddies RNB singer of our time. Branches out and has success in clubs,liquor movies, creates a huge sports agency all while becoming one of the first black hiphop billionaires... And yet people chuckle over Rhule admiring Jay-z....

Good point. Nobody would laugh at a woman looking up to Oprah. Jay-Z is of Oprah's ilk .. Matt Rhule looks up to an extremely successful businessman, why is that laughable?

Because a rapper doesn’t relate to, and isn’t remotely relevant to anything close to what he is trying to do - build a successful NFL franchise.

He didn’t just come out with an off the wall out of the blue statement like I respect Jay Z as a businessman…you guys don’t really understand context? My god.

The point was that success takes time even for hella successful people, like Jay-Z. If it only took two seasons to get your offensive line right every team would have a good line.

It does perfectly. Jay-z isnt just a rapper... Hes a businessman who created a billion dollar image out of nothing.  Rhule is saying basically rome wasnt created in a day.. It took jay-z 7 years before he hit pay dirt which is fine... Rapper is just one of his paths to success

      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.
