Rhule will have no excuse

[DaveThePanther2008]

Rhule IMO will have no excuses this year.  

We've addressed the offensive line to where we should, at minimum, be competent.

We have one of the best offensive line coaches in the league.

We have plenty of talent at the skilled positions on offense. 

Our defense appears to be shaping up and we have a good coaching staff on defense.

Whatever they decide for QB is on Rhule and he'll have to live with that decision.  Whether a Vet FA or Darnold or a rookie, it will be on him.

I think if he lets McAdoo do his job and stays out of the play calling he might survive.  If he mettles and cost us games it's all on him.

you’re mostly right…but Rhule chose his QB, it’s not a decision he hasn’t made, don’t let him blow more cap on a FA

unless you let him sign a 5th year, gut a draft and fug a franchise for shits and giggles

with that, he made the statement he could win with Darnold. let’s fuging see it

So, if we win it's the first sentence and when we lose it's the second???

He had no excuses had we done nothing. He is out of excuses from the fans perspective.

He's on the hook either way but if he let's McAdoo do what he was hired for he actually might get another season.   If he gets in the way he'll sink his own boat.

Had he done nothing he should have been fired this year.   I think all the Vet coaches save his @SS. 

Fitterer/Morgan have done a good job in addressing our offensive weakness. Now there is no excuse as to why we can't at least have a respectable season.

I'm sure he'll make something up. Ludicrous as it might be.

Are you a relative of his?

Not a Rhule fan.

but honestly, last years team was at minimum 8 starters away from competing.  That’s pretty tough for any coach.  
 

so far we have addressed 5 of those 8 positions, so yes, Rhule should show some competency this year or else

He isn’t looking for excuses, Matt wants to win as much as anyone

Desire doesn't equal ability.

I agree, but if everything looks good, but we can’t get wins because of bad QB play, he’ll probably get another “prove it” year with a newly drafted QB.
     The Darnold decision would have looked like an ok gamble if it weren’t for the 5th year option signing (which could have been Fitty’s call.) and the fact that we had already gambled on Teddy (which very well may been at Brady and Hurney’s urging. 
     Not making excuses for the guy, but last year’s draft, when he was supposedly in total control, looks pretty good. (Especially if Fields ends up looking mediocre or worse)

It’s very possible that none of the moves have been unilateral. We’ll never know.

If this all saved his ass, we are probably looking at being a bad franchise for a very long time.

Side note: He might wanna take McAdoo's advice on QB considering his track record at draft time. If that's the case, I have zero problems taking a QB. Although I'd prefer next years talent pool over this one. 

If the pick is strictly Rhule's perspective @ qb then I'd worry.
