Nice to have a group of guys with an actual plan on how to succeed. Rhule was throwing poo at the wall from day one hoping someone would make him look good. 

We’ve never had a staff that was focused on setting a QB up for success

The incorrect assumption was that he couldn't learn. He has, and now we seem to be headed in the right direction.

I can say this, I won’t be as pissed if this current plan and regime fail. Because at least they gave it a grade A effort. They brought in guys who’ve had lots of experience and success on the coaching staff. I can’t say the same for the previous regime. Things inevitably go wrong even with the best laid plans, but I can’t say they didn’t make good decisions on paper to get there. That’s a major improvement over the past 3 years.

Has anyone noticed that Shi Smith is never mentioned as far as guys we already have. They only mention TMJ and Laviska. This is twice now

Yeah that’s interesting, must have been a Rhule guy

Well to be fair, he kinda was.

Even Tepper himself has admitted that he came into the NFL with some wrongheaded ideas. Those were what led to the Rhule hire which was then the source for most of the issues over the past three years.

The incorrect assumption was that he couldn't learn. He has, and now we seem to be headed in the right direction.

Sure, I’m not disagreeing with that, but rather the notion that it was permanent. I remember the posts pretty well. “We have the new Jerry Jones” and “this franchise is doomed, he’ll be moving it out of Charlotte soon anyway” etc. 

He had a poor start but it was his first time doing it. It was way too early and while I’m indifferent to Tepper as a person it did always look to me like he truly does want to win. Based on the way he assembled this current staff, suggesting there’s no limit on what he would pay to make sure we have the best coaches possible is reassuring. It’s just the permanent doom and gloom that had set in here that gets exhausting lol

I mean you get sacked either way.

Rhule tried to build a roster and backdoor his way into a good QB (Bridgewater and Darnold, mainly) on the cheap.

Reich has sold the farm for the #1 pick. Ultimately if he misses on that pick he's gone in 3 years.

Again to be fair, it's a pretty common human treat to expect that when somebody is a certain way, they're likely going to stay that way (especially Type A guys like Tepper).

Now with that said, yes the people who assumed this were...wrong.

And I'm pretty happy about that 😀

I wouldn't read too much into it. Smith is a small slot receiver that we picked up at the end of round 6. With Theilen coming onboard, Shi's touches are definitely going to be limited. He's not exactly going to challenge Theilen for a starting role. TMJ and Shenault were both second round guys that we all expect more from. With Theilen at slot and Chark taking the top off of defenses, these 2 are fighting to be the other guy (however you want to refer to that position as, not trying to reopen THAT can of worms). I assume that there will be a rookie or another FA brought into that competition as well.

Based on what? The fact that he did a 180 and went with a retread NFL coach recently fired instead of the next flavor college coach w/ virtually no NFL experience? I like Reich and the choice, but the man got fired in Indianapolis for a reason and that reason was losing football games.  Tepper is 29-53 since buying the team.  His highlights are paying a ton for Matt Rhule and defrauding Rock Hill, SC.

He went with a professional coach on the recommendation of his football people rather than a college coach based on a gut feeling.

The results may still be yet to come, but I'll take that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
