Rhule on practice reps

I think at this point, if you still have faith in Rhule and his ability to evaluate players then you are a sheep or you just get your jollies off by being a troll.

It goes all the way back to Baylor. During Rhule’s first year at Baylor it took him nine weeks to figure out that Charlie Brewer was the best QB on his roster. Anu Solomon (transfer from Arizona) was the day one stater that Rhule trotted out there in Baylor’s loss to Liberty. The second week rolled around and once again, Rhule trotted Solomon out there, Baylor lost to UTSA. By the third week, Solomon had medically withdrawn from Baylor, Rhule trotted out Zach Smith in a loss to Duke. Smith would go on to start week four and five. Brewer finally saw action in week six but he would continue to split in-game reps with Smith until week nine. Brewer finally received all the reps in week nine against Kansas, Brewer led Baylor to their only win that year.

In Rhule’s second year, he would continue to split reps, this time between Brewer and Jalan McClendon.

In Rhule’s final year at Baylor, he once again started the season by splitting reps at the QB position. Both Charlie Brewer and Gerry Bohanon would split reps for the first few weeks. Brewer eventually won the job and took Baylor to the Big XII Championship.

All this to say, it took Rhule three years to finally settle on the guy who was responsible for the one good season that he had in college. Funny enough, Brewer is now trying to become the heir to Malik Willis at Liberty.

As for Rhule, the guy simply cannot evaluate talent.
 

Interesting. Sounds like all the coaching changes and upgrades Fitt made to the team didn't teach Rhule a single thing and Tepper is for some reason enabling him. Tepper and Rhule must have the same undiagnosed personality disorder and too much money to care

Look everyone knows that Baker is the man who was brought in to start. Rhule does too. So there is no other reason to work both unless you think you will need both. Baker getting the first nod was the end of the competition.

Need both? It’s called a backup QB.  They get backup QB reps and are called the backup.   They come in if the starter is hurt.  Rhule’s backup has always been ready to go.  In fact, he has never lost a game when he went to his actual backup QB for whatever that is worth. 

If it’s the end of the competition then Baker would be deemed the starter.  Would command the role.  Rhule hasn’t done that. He would get starter reps.  Get to work on developing better chemistry with his center for example.   Didn’t we see a botched exchange Bakers one drive? Are Elflien, Jordan and BC the starters? They got the nod.

Looking past how awful Rhule’s thinking and processes are in developing this team, and let’s be real, his record of sucking clearly backs all of that up so far.

What is this idea that having better coaches (supposedly) on staff making everything alright?

That we might have somewhat better success in spite of Rhule instead of because of him? Like what’s the point just get a better HC lol

I'd have rather seen Corral go somewhere else with the joke of the number of reps he's getting. 

If Baker is going to start and Sam is going to be the backup, then there's no reason for him to be here. It's not like people are going to line up to pay Darnold after this season.  And if Baker can play at least to the level of Jake or Cam, I doubt that he's going anywhere.

At least Sheena tried to ask the question, albeit it was phrased as a softball but she at least tried.  Props to her

 

 

It would help if the media didn't value access to the extent that it kept them from asking tough questions.  She did at least try, which is better than DG not really asking tough questions while acting like he did (even when he wasn't on the payroll)

Watch and see how it unfolds. Everyone is making mountains out of molehills

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
