Now tell my why you think Rhule is hitching his career to this?

If it’s addressed to me, I truly have no opinion.  
 

however , I would say Rhule hitched his wagon to Bridgewater and Darnold so I’d say his wagons have either a suspect team of horses pulling it or shoddy wagon wheels 

I suspect the team’s best hope is that McAdo’s wagon is better at evaluating QBs…and that’s concerning

Pls lawd, we have paid our penance with Sam Darnold. Bless us with Ikem Ekwonu so that we may smite the Aints.

I'm all for drafting a great player, but dude, we aren't beating NO this year.  It's just not happening.  That defense is salty AF and no matter who we have at QB they're gonna be seeing ghosts.  And now the chairman and CEO of the Taysom Hill fan club is gone, so we don't have that to fall back on.

Ekwonu looks good, but so do Cross and Neal.  I'd rather have Ekwonu or Neal just because they have legit positional flexibility whereas Cross is a tackle.  While I'm dreaming I'd like to have a second round pick as well so we can at least start rolling the dice on finding our franchise QB without wasting our first round pick on a lesser talent.

hat’s why a guy like Bryce Young next year is going to be so coveted. He has the athletic intangibles but has been coached up already by NFL coordinators. He’ll be plug and play. Take the tackle this year. Try to get in position to take young next year (likely if Darnold is the starter).

I like your assessment.

I keep thinking about a podcast I listened to with former OL that said basically the guys who are plug and play (and don’t need extra coaching) are incredibly valuable bc of the NFLPA practice mandates. 
 

A guy like Penning is going to fall bc he needs refinement. Ekwonu, Neal, Cross are all plug and play with little need at this point to be coached up. 
 

It also may be the draw with a guy like Pickett over Willis. He’s 25. He has been coached up by former NFL coaches. I don’t love it but it’s like the Mac Jones scenario. He’s plug and play. Willis may have more potential upside. But it’s going to take years.

What were his assessments of last year’s crop? Real question, are they available? Would be cool to see his write ups on the Lamar class, the Murray class. Kalil the younger. Fischer. Cam, even. 

He liked Mitch the best in his class FWIW, but that was a hard class to scout. Few saw Mahomes/Watson being as great as they have become.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
