Picking it up at the time was dumb. Darnold gave no indication that he is a starter in this league. I've been saying it all year. I said the first 3 weeks. He ain't it. 

And I would respect him more if he came out and said "I made a mistake" but he fumbled over his words and said "B-b-but it was a group decision guys! Don't look at me!" 

Darnold is a dog, but the price is cheap. But it wasn't his mistake. none of us know if Ruhle wanted Darnold. We tried and failed at Watson, tried and failed at Stafford.

what would you expect him to say? remember all of you were probably blowing Darnold after week 3. 

No, after week three we were all thinking, "This could be the best blind date I've ever been on..."

Week four and the real person started showing through.

Yeah. I pretty much stay off the forums now bro. We are in the minority here. I don't want him fired either.

No.  We beat 2 teams that featured rookies on and teams making their NFL debut and a hurricane displaced team that lost all their coaches to covid.  

We struggled to beat Jets.  We got very lucky with Sam putting the ball multiple times on the ground vs Hou.   And the Saints were a complete mess for a thousand reasons

nobody is saying none of that was not true. but after week 3, everyone was hyped, Ruhle was a genius, and we thought we got a steal in Darnold.

Joe Brady was more of a fraud then anyone that didn't suit up.

Or blame Tepper, Mr. Hedge fund high-risk was so desperate for a QB he went out and traded a bunch for Darnold. My guess is that Rhule never called up Tepper and say "ya know what, I think that kid in New York has got something special."

I like when he was asked if he would do anything different in hindsight…..and he couldn’t come up with anything. 
 

that must be how you know the plan is working 

The Lions suck but Dan Campbell is refreshingly honest in his press conferences.  When asked questions like that he will immediately pull up examples of things he'd take back...and then explain the thought process that went into the original decision and explain where it went wrong.  You can tell Dan is alot more secure in himself and his position than Rhule.

3-0 > 0-3 or 2-1.  

But Sam was still Sam.  And it was talked about by many even when we were 3-0 and the breaks we caught to be that. 

Joe Brady had overachieved frankly every season but the one that he was paired with Sam Darnold.  You know the imploding Sam Darnold who our DC and Rhule picked out. 

you can put Rhule on Tepper.  Sam is on Rhule.   There is literally no evidence that Tepper forced Sam freaking Darnold on Rhule.  That’s just being a make things up Rhule apologist.  And all the inside rumors were Tepper wanted Fields even when Rhule got Sam.

Yep. And you saw one of the most important things happen IMO….you saw his Lions team actually improve as the season went on.   Yeah, they stunk overall but from week 1 to 17 they steadily trended up.  

two seasons in a row Rhule has gotten worse as the season has gone on.   That should get you fired.  Same thing happens in game.  Worse.  Matt Rhule isn’t an NFL coach.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
