Well, his history suggests he's done a good job.  Maybe he can help clean things up on the OL front.

While I do really feel the straight up desire to fire Rhule and toss 2022 down the drain, I also want to see my team succeed.  The fan part of me just wants to see us get better.

This 100%....I'm past the denial phase of Rhule being here, now I have to hope / root for the best in spite of his presence.

Same way I watched, and went to games in 21'; as a real true fan of my favorite team I will do so again.

Oh I get what you're saying....and coaches talk about it all the time.  However it rarely ever actually happens.  If a guys throwing motion is broken by the time hes this late in his career, it hardly ever changes.  Sam is having the same issues hes had since his first start at USC unfortunately. 

Now that I've watched decades of baseball and football, I've come to the opinion that a quarterbacks throwing motion/mechanics is a 'little similar" to a batters swing.

They both require proper mechanics to work at their best. But, it's easy to develop bad habits for both that will hinder performance. The best coaches can identify mistakes and teach the fundamentals, but ultimately it's up to the player to use that knowledge to improve. This can only be done through countless hours of practice and a strong willpower/desire to do things the right way.

Yep.  You're right there.  I was a pitcher all growing up, even through college and even by that time it would have been very hard to break bad mechanical habits I had developed.  Its really tough.
