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 By the third week, Solomon had medically withdrawn from Baylor, Rhule trotted out Zach Smith in a loss to Duke.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 will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
