This looks so far like a Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan RUN draft, not Mr. Teppa, Not Fhule

Rhule hasn't really been terrible at the draft. It's one thing he's done pretty well. With that said you see the talent in understanding the draft more with Fitters and morgan. They know when to trade up and down to get guys they want.

My hunch...not that it matters.

 

Dave:  Matt sit down with me for a minute.

Matt sits.

Dave:  Would you rather keep your job, or have control over the roster?

Matt squirms.

Dave:  That settles it then, can you ask Dan and Scott to step in here on your way out.  Thanks.

Practically speaking, even if Rhule could override everybody else in the organization, he still couldn't override the owner.

So basically, all it takes to overturn a Rhule decision is David Tepper saying "I agree with Scott".

It doesn't even have to be that direct, or even Tepper picking sides.  It could be more Tepper setting a directive.

Basically it could be as easy as Tepper telling both of them that we aren't overspending on a FA QB like we have in the past, and also we aren't over drafting a QB in the draft.  Outside of that, you 2 figure out how to build this team the right way.

My take was kinda joking, kinda serious.  I've worked for guys like Tepper...I can tell you, they are that blunt, and expect you not to take it personally.

But to me, since the end of the season, this team feels like it's making "different" decisions...smells like a real front office.  If it's Rhule getting smarter and experienced and he's still calling the shots (not buying it), great...that would be a great thing.

Since Rhule has been here, it's always been a group effort with him getting the finial say. The coaches, the scouts, the gms. The ONLY changes has been a new GM, who has completely overauled our scouting department so we can much more information on every player. 

It's still. Group effort. The coaches. The scouts. Dan Morgan, Scott F., and of course, Rhule, whom as a head coach should have the finial say on the roster. 

Thus isn't rocket science. 

 

There us absolutely zero proof to suggest otherwise.

I'd like to think that if Rhule were believed to be getting smarter, the team would have had him out in front of the public more rather than less.

I thought the smart coaches hated talking to the press?  If he was smarter, wouldn't he talk to the press less?

Its no use.  You're battling against the wind.  They made up their minds.  They hate, just sheer hate, Rhule.  Anything they like will be attributed to anyone but Rhule, and anything they dislike will attributed to him.

No, it's best that he sit down for this one.  He talks too much and says things he should keep secret until the draft is over.

He and Tepper are both lousy at speaking to the public 

Fitterer is actually good at it but I don't think he likes to do it.

      Solid point about the rookie contract especially since I believe Tepper and company brought that up, he was so good we could sign other players while he is on a rookie deal and capitalize on the cap space. Sorta like Seattle did with Russ while he was on a rookie deal. But, problem is Bryce isn’t close to that version of Russ and Tepper sucks as an owner.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Look at who they’re interviewing there.  parcels, aikman, Peyton etc. the youngest guy is KOC who’s forty.  The passing game 25, 35, 45 years ago looked less glamorous to be sure but it was far more complex. You didn’t have these packages where you’d make quick checks, every play was its own thing, basically everyone was playing under center etc. once the nfl got out of the dead ball era things became very complex very quickly and they hadnt figured out a way to truncate it. Plus it was nowhere in college or high school. Vertical passing attacks just didn’t exist.  So yeah parcells probably does have that view because that’s what he came up in. Aikman had to learn that when he got to the nfl. Aikman was so lost his rookie season the cowboys almost took Jeff George first overall in 1990.  Today the learning curve is a lot lower. pro concepts today borrow a great deal from the college game now. Tons of air raid stuff, RPO, pistol, etc. even though everything is faster at every position, it’s schematically more simple. The learning curve is nowhere near what it was for even Peyton manning when he came out.  plus, prospects today are basically pro qbs from the time they’re in middle school. Bryce Young for example lived in invite only qb camps since he reached his max height at 12 years old. The whole “they shouldn’t get paid because they get a degree for free” was always just an insincere argument from racist old people, but no one even pretends to make it anymore. Playing qb at a division 1 school is a full time job for years before you even get to campus.  And that is all they do. The days of people excelling in multiple sports to the point there’s pro interest and then just choosing one or the other and succeeding are over. Aikman was drafted by the Mets out of high school and decided to go start as a freshman at Oklahoma.  The exact opposite is happening now, to the point you’ve got guys going to play baseball for a few years, coming back to college football, and playing until they’re like 27.  that’s actually one of the theories about why darnold isn’t better than everyone feels he should be. He only played two years of college football. In highschool he was first team all everything in every sport. Dude has an insane athletic pedigree. But there’s at least four years of highschool invite camps he never got to go to. You can’t just be the most athletic guy in the room anymore.  So obviously the older guys are complaining about how things are done; it’s what offer guys do. But the pro game today is much more accessible for these guys than it was back in their day, and the players are more ready for the transition. Like is anyone defending Anthony Richardson? What im saying is we know what Bryce young is and we should t wait for waiting’s sake.
