When did you figure out Rhule was a fraud?

He didn't hire himself.  I was skeptical from the very beginning given who was doing the coaching search. Therefore my faith was never there to start with.  

When his choices of OC and DC coaches we announced I cringed.  I know it would take a miracle for the tram to be competitive.

Then the qb circus began with Teddy. I knew we weren't going anywhere with him but I kept an open mind. 

Then they traded for Sam. I got physically sick to my stomach. You don't take a USC qb, especially trade for a proven bust. 

I could go on and on but I digress.  I have never had faith that Matt Rhule could build an nfl team nor coach one if someone handed him one already built. He's just out of his depths in the nfl.

well....seems like a decent coach would prioritize getting him as many reps as possible.  And as many reps as possible with his center.   OL.  WRs.  Etc. 

Instead, we had a bullshit QB competition with the worst QB in the NFL over the last half decade.

what really stands out to me is whenever he was telling the team last year as they were spiraling out of control in a downward trajectory by losing week in & week pretty much on a regular basis to hang on & in fact  be patient because it was 1000 % percent working & that it took Jay-Z 7 years to make it & become successful.

so yeah I mean that aforementioned analogy makes absolutely no sense to start with he uses one that is very elongated by taking 7 years. then also besides that what in the world does JayZ & a  professional football team or players carrer have in common with one another?

It sounds good to someone that doesn't understand football I guess?

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
