Sick of the pessimism. That’s off-season fodder. Meaningful games are a few weeks away. Get on the bandwagon or find somewhere else to exhaust your anger. 

super bowl. Let’s go 

Objectivism is not pessimism. Rhule has sucked to date and looked incompetent at the NFL level... fact. Until there is evidence otherwise in the form of several weeks of looking actually competent at the NFL level, at least 8 games IMO, nothing about that perception will change.

I'd rather my team win than to be right about thinking the coach wasn't good. 

And I'm going to keep hoping the team wins each week while reserving the right to go back to calling for his job as things go south.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If Rhule pulls off a miracle and turns this team around and into being winners, I'll admit I was wrong about him and support him from here on out. 

Completely agree and I would gladly eat crow should this be a playoff caliber season, but the supporting evidence that he is a fraud is pretty substantial.

I think he is going to quit around Thanksgiving if we are completely out of the conversation by that time. He will give the typical “spend time with my family” garbage only to take a college job 2 weeks later. 
 

resigning looks better on a resume than getting fired

There is a very fine line between pessimism and being realistic. I can appreciate a glass half full mentality but some people need to accept this.

I can't argue with you there and I've been saying he isn't a pro-ready HC since the early days of this regime. I also don't believe in Phil Snow or that there is even an overall concept for this team. I'm not even that big on Fitterer.

And don't get me started on Tepper...

But, if they all prove me wrong, then a dinner of crow I will eat and enjoy. It's better to be the happy fool than the bitter genius most days.

Both seasons have been disasters – 5-12 in 2021, 5-11 the year prior – and Rhule, considered an offensive guru and mentor to QBs, hasn’t been able to turn the corner with Sam Darnold, Cam Newton or anyone else under center. Rhule and new QB Baker Mayfield might be getting their final opportunities this season to show they can lead a contending team. 

 

What about that says anything about playoffs or developing young QBs on the field instead of the imagination?

If we do win this year it’ll be more about our improved staff around him than Matt actually being a good NFL coach

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
