a competent+ QB is a luxury player/pick that *will* fail if there is no support around him.  I 100% agree with you there.

Then how is everyone so certain Cam is not competent any longer? If even a competent QB would fail with no support?

He has been bad this year with questionable calls and decisions. talk to some bengals fans they’re already comparing him to Tony dungy in Indy with Peyton. Elite talents that carry mediocre to bad coaches.

I did post on the bengals subreddit asking their opinions and most of them were on board with him at this point.  I posted it a few weeks back before the postseason started.  General consensus seemed like he was able to learn and adapt, plus the players like him.  Didn’t see much about game day stuff, but they probably had the rose colored glasses on

Going out and getting a quarterback to add to this team under this coaching staff is equivalent to buying fancy stereo system for a car whose transmission is failing.

Our biggest problem is that our quarterback. Our biggest problem is the guy who chooses and coaches our quarterback.

Until you fix that, nothing else is going to matter.

I’m in the camp that Rhule is only still here because of his contract. I think he’s 1000% more fireable next year and if Tepper has any inclination of running a franchise, he is already preparing his preferences for our next staff. 

You don’t let Rhule use our only pick in the top-100 to draft a QB. You just don’t.

Rhule has final say on everything in the organization. And unless we hear otherwise, there's no indication from anyone that this has changed or will change next season.

That means there's nothing to stop him from using current and future picks or current players to do whatever he thinks it takes to save his own ass.

You think Rhule had final say on the background of his new OC? 
 

This is my point. This is a call Tepper has to make. You can bet there is information being shared between the league office and teams inquiring about Watsons availability if traded for. Rhule has had his chance to pick his QB. Twice. You make it for him this year and when he inevitably flames out again, your new coaching staff has the most important foundational peace in place.

Yeah, actually he did. That's why a fellow Tom Coughlin guy is now our OC.

And sorry, that's not how it works. If Tepper felt the need to do that sort of thing, there'd be no point in keeping Rhule for another year.

I know people are trying to come up with any number of tinfoil hat theories as to why it's happening, but I'm afraid the real reason is that Tepper really believes Rhule deserves at least one more year.

Honestly, as much as we all want to believe it will only be one year, that's not guaranteed either.

Clearly we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Enjoy mediocrity and QB purgatory.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
