Stadium could be flat empty every week and NFL owners are still raking $$$ in.

Packed houses aren’t a money thing (though owners are glad to take the money), they’re an IMAGE thing.

True, the TV deals bring them in a ton of money. That being said, I imagine that Tepper (like most stupid rich people) is a narcissist and having an empty stadium or other team's fans taking up most of the stadium would have to be humiliating for him

There’s a healthy amount of players in that locker room that are employed because of Rhule so this isn’t surprising 

And we never hear the ones who actually matter support him or ever really see the direct interaction.

Can't tell you if I've ever even seen CMC or Chinn talking to Rhule.

Yanno, for a hot minute in the opening game, Robbie was killing it out there.

Since then, well, not so much.

Good ol' Robbie, he's reliably consistent.

 

When he caught that long bomb pass I thought,”Well there is Robbie’s contribution for the year.” 
He always seems to get on long catch per season and then nothing for the rest of the season.

I mean whatever is going on, there is certainly a toxic under current with what's happening with this franchise.  I think it comes from the top.  When the team goes around and starts wasting taxpayer money on projects that it bails out on, on top of a nine game losing streak and a 5 year playoff drought the fans should be pissed.  If you think the media and fans are going to excuse that along with losing....not gonna happen.

There are only two reasons that even remotely make sense for Tepper to keep Rhule.  The buyout being number one.  Secondly,  maybe you don't want to give off the vibe to the next coach that he will be fired after a season if he doesn't produce the results in the first year.  

Whatever the case may be, legit coaches don't need 3 years to turn around a franchise.  Every team has players.  The talent gap is not so big where we can't see marked improvement almost instantly with a new coach.  

With our previous two coaches we saw almost instant turnarounds.  In 2002 we started Rodney Peete and went 7-9 with a first year head coach and went to the Superbowl the following year.  With Ron we saw the team improve it's record the first year, then the playoffs, then a crescendo to a Superbowl.    

Long story short, because of the parody and the salary cap, a traditional long term "let's build the foundation" approach is archaic and a waste of time.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
