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 know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
