Rhule defenders chime in here

I think he personally gets some unfair criticism.  For god's sake if the hot dog vendor gave someone a undercooked dog, they'd be blaming that on Rhule too.  But the bottom line is as a head coach, he has the responsibility for the W/L and he has not produced.  I don't think he is as bad as some people like to paint him, but he isn't good enough to win right now.  I'm still giving him this season, but third year, he needs to be able to move from a close loss to a close win at the very least.

Care to give an example of unfair criticism?

It seems when we get a player nobody wants, it's Rhule's decision.  Good picks are Frit.  If we won the last two games, it would be because of the coaching staff winning in spite of Rhule.  Everything bad is Rhule's fault, every good thing is someone else's it seems.

What good picks?

Not defending him by any means but I guess one positive is at least we've been close in these two games. I'm sure the blowouts will start coming soon but for now at least we aren't looking completely outclassed. 10-25 is pretty damn indefensible tbh.

Wait until the big guns come around. The team's and QB's on the schedule are actually some of the best in the game.  Third tier teams are what they played so far.

One name on the above list stands out to me (as I'm somewhat a student of history and the NFL) Tom Fears. I'm pretty sure he was a one time great wr in the league. Later one of the first coaches of Saints. Known in coaching circles as "the dumbest man in football", which puts Rhule in good company.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
