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.

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
