Undo 1 Rhule Decision

Recommended Posts

Lets play a game like the title says.. undo 1 decision that Rhule made in his tenure.. 

Mine would be releasing Teddy Bridgewater after year one.

IMO they had the right plan when they brought him into be a bridge QB. That signing made sense for that reason. 3 year contract sets up perfectly to draft and develop after you bring in more pieces to build a stronger team around the rookie.

But either Rhule got impatient or he was pressured by Tepper, the decision to cut him set off a snowball effect of traded draft picks for bad QB play.

There is not one decision you can reverse that would change anything (besides not being hired).  Every mistake Rhule made was compounded by future mistakes.  He was destined to fail.

 

Edit: I would add that the idea of a bridge QB is stupid and makes no sense.  Especially not for 60 million dollars.  It was a massive overpay of an NFL backup, simple as.

I’m going to be completely original and say interviewing for the job. Aside from that, cutting Cam. Could have saved money, fan goodwill, and developed a guy behind him for a couple years without wasting all those draft picks and money on Bridgewater, Darnold and Baker. 

Should have cut Cam and never signed Teddy.

I think not keeping Cam untill we had another stable QB on the roster, or a rookie that cam could mentor 

Started a cycle of reject QBs that sunk us into oblivion , when Cam did come back Rhule still favored Darnold so it was basically a lost cause , especially not putting a C on him and giving him the team back, he was more or less a highly paid mascot 

I am 100% sure if Rhule was still here, we would be talking to the Jets about Wilson this off-season

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
