Sounds funny doesn't it? Matt Rhule's head is to large. And this is a physical and metaphorical statement all in one. The guy just focuses on so many things that are stupid. I can't fathom how he made it to a 70+ million dollar contract (cough tepper is too bald cough cough). I'm trying to be optimistic as always. But man, how do these guys manage to look like morons week in, and week out?

Here.

Read the bottom of this article. I posted it in another thread but felt it was worthy of it's own post.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.golfdigest.com/story/kenny-pickett-handsize-pitt-pro-day-carolina-panthers-nfl/amp

The fact that our FO really thinks hand size is an indicator of success and spend their time focusing their attention to such a thing is just asinine. This obsession with the "measurables" has gone to far. With All-pro oline being skipped over bc their arm length. And now this? At what point can we move on from RHULE because his head is to big? At this point I'll take any excuse possible.

It could only take someone with an awfully inflated confidence(head) to legitimately look at a college QB who has broken Dan Marino's passing records and question his hand size.

And to be fair, after teddy I'm against any QB that has to wear two gloves to play the position but that's just because I have trust issues. And these guys are the one who signed Poowater in the first place. Hand issues didn't seem to matter then did it?

I'm at my wits end. I sincerely apologize for the rant. But at least I feel better now that it's off my chest. And hey, we signed a couple lineman worth a poo. That way our extra large handed QB we sign or start can not be fearful for his life every down on Sundays.

Lord Help us.

If I was in their position, I would've been at the pro day as part of a smokescreen effort but I would've given myself away when I dosed off in the stands as he was throwing.

At least sleep rejuvenates the soul. These guys are wondering if double jointed fingers would be a game changer in a circle jerk.

To be fair it's a stupid post. Also it's not a typo if done more than once.

To be fair. I'm not a journalist. And this is a discussion board. I do my best on this small phone I have. If you would like I would be more than happy to send you a more grammatically correct version too you personally. If I need 2.

But thanks for the observation.

You are talking to a community that has developed hatred for him because of handsome.

 

Either way measurables and personality are alot of what scouting is about this time of year. These seem like Halloween criticisms of Rhule when real ones are plenty.

Sure they have their place. But when you focus more on the length of a guys finger, than his ability to read defenses on film. Or his likelihood to fit into your scheme it does make one wonder how on earth a professional coach could be caught on film paying this much attention to such a minor detail.

 

If he were a pro with the major details in order it would be one thing. Maybe even something to applaud..but the product on the field says differently and maybe his approach is a cause for concern when scouting talent and putting the right players on the field.

I'm neither pro-Pickett or anti-Pickett here, but is it really just our FO that's obsessed with measurables?  The entire league and national media have picked up this story and ran with it.  I'm not defending Rhule or anyone else here, but an article on Golfdigest.com written with extremely sarcastic undertones isn't going to make me feel bad about Rhule.  Like someone else previously said, there are plenty of others reason to dislike Rhule.

You think Rhule is the only coach/scout/GM that looked into Pickett’s hand size? After such a big deal was made about it prior to and at the combine?

 

I get critiquing Rhule over passing on a guy like Slater (I still like the Horn pick), but creating issues over nothing just to complain gets old. Everyone has been talking hand size with Pickett.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      I dont necessarily disagree just really curious as to why that is?  He either must be a dunce, a bad teammate or must be horrendous in practice because I thought he showed promise at least in his 2nd year

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      Same slant as before, dude. Look, it doesn't matter what mental gymnastics you apply to the story. You cannot remove Bryce from being a part of why we won these games. He did his job. In some games better than others? Yes, but the end result still matters. The wins are team wins. The losses are team losses  And Bryce plays a key role in the team. Like I said earlier, continue arguing that he should be replaced. I'm doing that as well.  But denying reality doesn't help your argument. It actually weakens it.
