Colin Thompson on Rhule

[CashNewton22]

 

I know positive talk about Coach Rhule is frowned upon and so many need a scapegoat so they take all their anger out on him but his players and coaches really do seem to like playing for/coaching for him. I’m on record as to giving Coach Rhule the benefit of the doubt this year. I know I’m moreso in the minority in regards to fans but it’s good to see that the locker room is tight.

The guy that has never stuck anywhere else in the NFL and was only active on Rhule's roster 4 years into an NFL career, and who came from Rhule's Temple after they were the only ones to offer him a scholarship as he transferred away from Florida, has nice things to say? Who could've guessed.

Look, people can be nice and intelligent but that doesn't mean they're good at actually implementing said information. The past 2 years have spoken louder than words, as this year will as well.

Oh no the guy with a free pass the last two years and no contributions likes the coach who kept him in there

So let me get this right… a guy who has played for exactly one NFL team thinks every team runs the same thing… yet Mayfield, who just came from a different team, is stating that this offense is unlike anything he’s seen… Not to mention, Cam stated last year that he put himself in a bad situation by not giving himself enough time to learn the playbook.

Concepts might be the same because there’s only so many different things you can do on the football field but to say that everything is the same is asinine.

The players clearly love Rhule. The fans will like him too if he starts winning. Otherwise, his next college can love him. Time for the "Rhule of 3" to take effect.

Thompson was with Jacksonville and Chicago as well to some degree (practice squad, TC, etc), but those were hardly offensive masterminds the last few years. I'm sure he's a great guy in real life but I take his words with large grains of salt.

I think it comes down to what you said, I’d stick up for my meal ticket as well. Thompson is still on the practice squad and I’d imagine making $200K a year to be a PS player beats making 50K a year working at Enterprise.

Yes, it’s time to see the mythical “year 3” of Rhule’s tenure. We heard so much about it

Players loved Hurney too… meal tickets are usually pretty popular.

Lots of coaches are nice humans that players like.  And the NFL is a talent driven league.   Nothing there really to dispute. 

The number one knocks on Rhule are his vision and eye for things have been bologna.   The manner in which he has gone about building things.  And he isn’t a good game day manager.  

I mean he can be a nice guy that players like as a human.  That’s not the thing people bash Rhule on.

The whole 'Year 3' thing is ridiculous but what gets left out of that take is that his prior teams also notably improved in record from years 1 to year 2. Carolina not only did not improve their record in year 2 but were notably worse on the field vs year 1.

That’s what I’d expect a rhule guy to say This guy owes everything to rhule. 

[MHS831]

His career in the NFL rests on Rhule's shoulders.

Rhule has given his boy a hookup he otherwise wouldn’t have. Dude wouldn’t even be in the NFL at this point. Of course he’s gonna talk about how great Rhule is and enjoy his free ride.

Not all players get that or feel that way on this team. There was quite a bit of eye rolling going on with Rhules various college antics and group exercise punishments.
