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.

Pretty much...

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

    • I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.
    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
