alright cool, but why did he look like dogshit in the first?

Because your TEAM is trash. Why did Rodgers look like poo? Why did Brady look like poo why did burrow look like poo. Why did half the qbs in the league look like poo? And they have better teams and coaches.

That’s my big take away today. My feelings on Rhule are, how are you that underprepared for a season opener at home as a Head coach?

Yeah, that was pretty obvious.

there were people arguing with me during the offseason that reps didn't matter and the way he was running camp was just fine.

Haven't really heard from those people today.

Dropped snaps, batted down passes that Cleveland specifically prepared for and some easy stats on some broken 1st week plays.

We could do a lot worse but we can and should try to do a lot better. He is who he always has been. He will never be a Brees. He will be lucky to top 4k in yards with his play style that relys on pounding the ball first.

We need that the whole game. Yes, he finally woke up after the half but that's was after the other team had a comfortable lead. The up and down is exactly why he's playing for Matt Rhule, the same reason Sam is with Matt Rhule, they both are inconsistent.

They'll fool you into thinking they're actually starters when they are far from it. We need a rebuild, not false hope.

Darnold is consistent. Consistently bad.

So a QB that can bring a team back from a 13 point deficit in the fourth and give them a chance to win is something nobody wants in a QB?

Don't get us in a deficit in the first place. He's a four year veteran. His lack of focus in the beginning of the game is why he's not elite. Had he come out focused, on point, prepared, we could have taken the lead because they weren't playing well themselves. 

Cleveland writers famously said he had his head up his ass for years. Half of this game he actually did.

Here's one of them. He got enough reps to look really good in the last preseason game (plus two more weeks worth since.) So you tell me, how many reps does a 4th year vet need to handle a snap and not get multiple passes batted down?

You just want to be right about something that can't be quantified. 

Baker totally shat the bed in the first half. I don't think a few more training camp reps would have helped that. You obviously do, but I would pick something a little less subjective to act smug about if I were you.

It's actually been pointed out that the snap problem was with Elflein, not Mayfield.

And to be clear, we're not just talking about "a few more practice reps". We're talking about doing away with the entire dumbass quarterback competition, dispensing with the continual shuffling of the OL lineup and numerous other things that, despite the slant you want to put on this, cannot be blamed on Mayfield.

The entire team that came out yesterday was  thoroughly and woefully unprepared for the challenge. That lack of preparation falls on the head coach.

Defend him if you want, but at this point I'd say just about everyone knows Matt Rhule is not an NFL head coach.

I'm not defending Rhule. Rhule might be the one thing you're finally right about, so congrats.

Baker's play was total cheeks in the first half now matter how many excuses you make for him, and training camp reps were not the reason.

Oh sure. I mean who could ever possibly blame lack of practice reps for looking unprepared?

Just crazy, I know 😐

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
