“They had other plans”

Didn’t Rhule have roster control too?  He tell one of his own guys he isn’t OOU?

I said it last year, that we needed to give him a deal early to extend him.  It wasn't a fluke.  

And now look at him and us...  we are shifting to a 3-4 and imagine having him and Burns rushing off the edge in that, with a young guy like Barno developing behind them.  

Rhule was a directionless, bumbling fuging idiot.  So many of those moves seems like a power struggle in hindsight.  Acquiring guys like Reddick and Gilmore, only for Rhule to oust them because the idea didn't originate with him so he had to show everyone how smart he was without them.  I hate that fuging guy.

Best of luck to Hasson for the rest of his career.  I'll always appreciate what he did here and I anticipate him being a regular double-digit sack guy for the foreseeable future.

Meh he knows he wanted to leave and go to a contending team and he has a connection to Philly. He was vocal about his aggravation with the team at times on Twitter that season too. He's in a better situation which is what he wanted. Enjoy the moment it might not come around again take it from us.

According to some on this board, we are a contending team and outside players and coaches who want a ring are looking our way.

Said it elsewhere: That whole experience doesn't even feel real now.

It's like a bad, bad dream 😕

But it's still unfathomable how long Tepper just sat on his hands when EVERYONE knew how bad it/he was.  Yeah, it's telling when pros' pros like Teddy or a Cam come out of character and tell us how bad the guy is, but when almost every fan knows it too?  And your owner still brings him back for another year?  Yikes.

I keep thinking back to that fan that had the "Fire Rhule" Sign at that game at the end of Rhule's second year and Tepper smugly said something along the lines of "you're gonna be disappointed" or some jackass remark to him.   And yet, look who ended up bring on the right side of that exchange.  It's just embarrassing looking back.

But, all I can hope for is that it brought us to this divine intervention and all of that happened to allow the current pieces to fall into place as they have, because had we canned him at the end of year two like we all wanted, I don't know that Reich, Evero, etc. would end up here.

I think the remark was something along the lines of questioning whether the fan had been drinking.

Yup, that was it.  I certainly hope this whole experience has humbled him since then.

And I do think the process for which they arrived at Reich and some of Tepper's comments recently point to that being the case.

Like taking himself out of the final vote?

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
