The whole Corral/developing the QB of the future is one thing.

The splitting reps between Baker and Sam and mixing up OL combinations when your seat is supposedly hot is the real head scratcher. It’s why I don’t think his seat is as hot as some think

Here’s a guy many think has to win this year and he’s just pissing away reps on Darnold, Elflein and Michael Jordan… smh

Rhule values these joint practice scrimmage reps just as much if not more than preseason game reps. If he’s still wasting reps this week on Darnold I might lose it

Find your favorite drug because I won't doubt that Rhule will give Darnold more of the Reps than Mayfield and if he gives Mayfield any Reps it will be with the 2nd team O-line to give the illusion that Darnold is outplaying Mayfield.

That assumes that he isn't convinced he needs more than one starting qb this year. How many did we use last year-3. Things that burn you recently tends to resonate more than in the past and you work hard to change it so it doesn't happen again.. Hence why he is working so hard to develop both of then.  Maybe he is simply hedging his bets given half of the teams last year had more than 1 starting qb during the season.

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 By the third week, Solomon had medically withdrawn from Baylor, Rhule trotted out Zach Smith in a loss to Duke.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.

That’s college talk.  If you have 2 starting QBs then you got none. 

Baker has missed 3 NFL games in 4 years because of injury.   And his injury was to his non throwing shoulder. 

Part of the reason we played 3 starters last year is Tepper had to bring in Cam to stop the booing that was going on in BOA at the midseason mark.  PJ didn’t get hurt.  He was available to do the job Rhule had him rostered to do.

Something tells me Rhule's NFL performance is gonna make it tougher for college coaches to get pro jobs.

Probably for a while, but you would think they would have learned by watching Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban, and Greg Schiano.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Jimmy Johnson the last College Coach to make the jump with no previous significant NFL experience?

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.

Corral isn't likely to make any impact this season. So Rhule seems to be okay with the idea of making Corral "earning" his reps.

The safest takeaway is this is just further confirmation of what we already knew:

Rhule doesn't value rookies.

Rhule doesn't value people who aren't "his guys."

I bet you he cuts Corral in 3 weeks, and Ekwonu starts 0 games this year. Honestly, I don't think any rookie will start a single game. Ekwonu likely gets scratched for the first half of the season.

Did Kingsbury have pro experience?

I'd have to look it up.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      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.
