I have seen enough. I honestly can't think of a positive after 2 years and a 3rd offseason. At this point the best I can give is in spite of Rhule on some of the moves. I can't wait to celebrate his firing.

They've given him this season, at least to start.

I'd love to see him win us all back, but nothing I've seen so far makes me believe this is even slightly possible. I have been wrong, though, and would love to be wrong on this matter.

I think its fair to judge Rhule on what he’s done so far as well as fitterer. However i do think its too early for tepper. I’d like to wait and see what Rhule does next and if that doesn’t work, I’d like to see the next coaching hire. I think i need at least two coaches to judge tepper as you can judge a coach off of two quarterbacks he has selected (not meaning for that to be any direct shot at rhule just in general).

 

but that is my opinion.

You could make the same argument for Fitterer, IMO. After all, Rhule technically had final say. Fitterer isn't a "real" GM at the moment.

Team has been disastrous since he took over, but I'm willing to set aside my frustration to see what he does in year 3. He does have a huge learning curve coming from college to the NFL, so hopefully behind the scenes he has taken lessons from his first 2 years in the NFL and will apply it this coming season.

You definitely could, but i believe fitterer has been on board with every qb move so far. From a value stand point the moves made sense. And when you have a coach in your ear that has 100% confidence in his self that he can coach up any player… that + good value = make the trade/sign the player.

I agree with this.

The problem with Rhule was how last season went. At some point, it really looked like the wheels fell off. And as the season progressed it just continued getting worse till the whole team was a dumpster fire. Considering the offense was okay at the beginning, and the defense was (more than) above average and they both fell off a cliff. I have to blame coaching.

Rhule made changes this year, but he's gotta prove it now. He's gotta prove he's learning and growing. The only hope is there really is no evidence at all that he lost the locker room.

Rhule looked good at the beginning of the year, but we were looking through an undeveloped lens. At the time, we had no idea how bad those teams were. In hindsight they were terrible (and New Orleans was decimated). Once Dallas was on the field against us, we got to see just how ill-prepared we were.

And the prior year was just as bad, with even less talent on the field.

It doesn't inspire hope.

Rhule looked decent all things considered in 2020.  Could argue the whole Rhule experiment was off to a good start. 

He started looking bad in his first real TC in 2021 and it never really quit IMO.    Something was off and that probably was the realization Sam was worse than Teddy….who they deemed not good enough IMO.  I don’t pay attention to the talk.  They had Sam checking down all camp, all preseason and you could see the bad in Sam was still there despite the early wins.  Then it snowballed once teams saw how little we could do with him.   

* and Rhule, Brady, etc. needed a Teddy at a BARE MINUMIUM.  They were too weak of a staff not to have a QB w/ a solid head on his shoulders and understanding of all things.   Teddy might of been a check down king but he understood the position and the NFL.   Something no one on the staff did.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
