I'm not going to draw any conclusions from the preseason, but if Fields develops into a legit franchise QB, Horn better be a perennial all-pro, or we are going to have serious regrets.

If he and Slater pan out, that is going to be some unfair baggage for Horn.

Let's just hope we all got a great player and it fades away to nothing.

I know everyone likes to bring up don't live in the past or whatever. Don't care, a true rebuild would have been keeping Teddy and drafting Fields. I like Baker but we have been paying close to full QB salary during this whole Rhule era and if he works out, back to paying $30M a year which was the opposite of what Fitt ranted on about pre draft

These guys have never tried to "rebuild". It's just been one knee jerk desperately try to win now decision after another.

Yeah, that was the biggest false bill of goods Tepper gave us. Five year rebuild my ass. Maybe five years to rebuild after what this goof has done.

We're in a situation now where the HC doesn't really do anything play calling-wise so I'd rather have the more likable guy, those Rhule camp speeches give me migraines just listening to his voice

Well, the harder they make him coach, they make him coach harder before it takes 7 years to become an overnight sensation or something like that.

I think the translation is "I'm learning on the job with a 7 year leash" I can't recall another guy that gets to try out different coaches and QB's until he gets into a situation where they do all the actual work for them. Then maybe we eventually make the playoffs with everything great except the HC, get blown out and then Tepper will be like ok Rhule isn't the guy. Great process

It's why it's tough for me to really get excited even though looking at the talent we have, and guys like Wilks and McAdoo on the staff, we have plenty of reason to be.  Rhule is just a lingering fart over it all.

Cross was the best pass protector in the draft. This is a passing league.

icky was one of the best run blockers in the draft. Hopefully he can become elite in pass pro. 

He has everything you want in an elite LT, good size, strength, athletic, smart and his nasty play style is just an added bonus. Campen should be able to develop him.

    • When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly.
    • Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers. 
    • Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
