Several seasons of having a good team that is in the mix for the playoffs.

This brings up a point...

My opinion of these two guys wasn't formed overnight. It's not going to be changed overnight either.

I know a lot of folks have said "winning" and some have clarified "consistent winning". That's key. It has to be more than just this season.

If a consistent winner isn't built, nothing changes.

A year ago I was behind Rhule.  I was not a fan of the Darnold deal or the way Teddy's exile unfolded, but I don't need to agree with everything they do.  The proof is in the results.

I was not "over the moon" when we started out 3-0 because I realized this was not a 12-5 team.  I was hoping we would be in the chase for 8 or 9 wins.  I hoped for competitiveness, win or lose, because we saw more of that in 2020 than we expected.

Then the bottom fell out.  Losing is one thing, but looking lost about what is happening and clueless about what to do about it lost me.  His response was wide-eyed chanting that the process was working despite all evidence to the contrary, and "ommmm, trust the process, ommmm."

The world is full of BS artists, and right now, he is on my list for that.  He can get off that list, but more chanting and doing the same things expecting different results is not the path to do that.  He doesn't need to win 12 games this year, but he needs to prove he knows how to win games in the NFL.

You know ….. if Rhule becomes a good coach and we win, it will change the NFL coaches. Teams will stop the 1-2 years and fired, they will let the coaches develop too

If I had to wager on whether Matt Rhule was going to change the way other teams look at college coaches or he was going to confirm why you shouldn't hire them, I'm gonna bet on option two.

Yes and no.  Part of the problem is there have been some epic bad coaching hires.  When you hire Urban Meyer or Greg Schiano, the odds are almost certain that they are going to lower the average NFL coaching tenure. 

I'm not a fan of creating a coaching carousel every 2 years (or less), but some of these guys would have caused me to pull the trigger very quickly had I been dense enough to hire them in the first place.  For example, if I had been the owner of the Denver Broncos at the time, Josh McDaniels might have been moved out of his office by security before he ever coached his first game.

A lot of extremely short-tenures have been completely predictable (as in the phrase "what did we think was going to happen?" applies) and self-inflicted.

Rhule is on a completely different level as some of those guys.  He may be clueless, but nobody is questioning whether his membership card in the human race is a forgery.

      Seeking Insights on RB and TE

      By Basbear · Posted

      My personal take- RB market is in the most unstable era. For one its very very low in cost and the talent available each year is 8-14 players most years. Not to mention all the cuts. Right now Id have drop all RBs a couple rounds. Just would not draft one cause a proven bunch is going for 5mill+/- each FA period. I am a huge TE fan, my goal would be to control the middle of the field. History shows rounds 3-5 is where to get one. I think the last 10 TE drafted in the first round only one has made a pro bowl and that was 30 year old David Njoku this past year. They are soooo undervalued, no other player has to block some 6'5 280 monster and on the next play run a deep post against some 4.2 speed water bug guy. I'd have two of the highest paid TEs and no one would know if its a pass or run. I don't like this years class, but always up to draft one......starting in the 3rd....

      It's about that little birdie time in a few days

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'd do not understand that both verge and zod had a three year run of getting the 1st round pick right, then the first time they missed.......non-stop tard comments about the miss and they totally forgot the past three years. I know its near impossible to guess a 25th pick, but I remember shaq being his guess. Just insane the whole deal.

      PFF Day 2 WR projection. Different take

      By Basbear · Posted

      Im about 98% sure penix gos 15th-32nd in the first, jmo...I'd even bet on that too. Hes my weakness of boom/bust, if he figures it out......It would be scary for any team playing him.  I mean young has to get another year given all the BS and I totally get the the issue if he was there 33rd. Id draft him, but you'd HAVE to trade young before unless you'd want to de-value him by a few rounds. Top eight pick with the guaranteed penix would be at 33rd......ooo my the amount of should/if/etc....
