Former RB Mike Davis on Rhule and CMC

[Davidson Deac II]

I have read here numerous times that CMC didn't want to be traded, at least not at first.  All the conflicting information that he wanted to go, or that he was made when they traded him is why I usually ignore most of that stuff.

Oh please lol. If that's enough to trigger someone they need to get off the internet for their own well being.

There was one post pooed in this entire thread and you seemed to be having trouble connecting the dots. Just trying to help out.

Speaking of connecting the dots. In actuality the poo function itself used to be only merely symbolic. It was changed to reflect neg rep as a counter measure for truly egregious posts spammers and rude rival fans. But there are unfortunately a few people who use it solely for personal retribution on a fairly regular basis now. If that sounds like an unhealthy toxic personality that's because it is. Glad I could help you connect those dots.

Everybody can speak for themselves, but my guess is you got poo’ed for immediately reverting to the “Do you work for the Tepper’s” comment in an otherwise normal discussion.

I've got him on ignore, but if I happen to see his histrionics being quoted and see the usual personal attacks I go and give it the poo it deserves.

If it bothers him that much he could try being less unpleasant, or put me on ignore as a mod requested. At the very least, he could stop insulting others just because he's not capable of understanding and accepting any scenario other than the one he feels validates him.

 

Rhule-wise... Teddy tried to warn us. People wanted to hate him because he wasn't Cam though.

Mike Davis, in the same episode, was highly complimentary of how former players are treated by the team. That was cool to hear.

I remember when Rhule was first hired they said him and Tepper were going to "revolutionary" things in the NFL when it came to how players practiced and prepped

I think he got rid of Rivera too fast. Rivera wasn't the issue here, Hurney was. 

Rivera has never had a winning season anywhere without Cam Newton and Cam Newton would have made the playoffs in NE if not for Covid.

And of course I had to poo this. It’s an online message board. It ain’t that deep, it’s supposed to be fun. We’re supposed to banter, we’re supposed to have nemeses. And when it comes to petty misguided radicals like yourself I’ll poo you every time and buy you a drink in person.

People also were just bending over their backs to defend everything about Matt Rhule.   I think the lack of reporting/eyeballs because of COVID made that defense possible because there was really no way to know what was going on in house then given how limited things were. 

I think going into that next season when camps were back open to the reporters, with Teddy's messaging in my mind, it was pretty glaring how in over his head Matt Rhule was if you wanted to see it.  For awhile it was always some else's fault.  Teddy was the idiot.  Then it was Joe Brady.   Took folks longer than it should of to be like.....oh wait, it's the head guy running the show that doesn't know what he is doing. 

I also don't think Matt Rhule is the villain some want him to be.  I think generally speaking, most of Rhule's players liked him as a human.  He just had no clue how to do the NFL thing.   Tepper just can't get it right.  Rhule was the HC that needed Jim Caldwell/Capers.   Then he gave that to the HC that didn't need it in Frank.  But I do think through all the hires and fires, you can see evidence of Tepper trying to get the puzzle.

i was real lols when Mike said "that was selfish."  Looks like it wasn't CMC's fault though.

Those seasons, our offensive wasn't as good as it could have been because every play was basically, "give the ball to CMC"

While CMC did perform well in that circumstance, he could have been so much better if giving him the ball wasn't 80% of our play calls
