all we heard last year was Cardale was "not ready"
not ready to me means he didn't learn enough of the playbook.
now he has to start over and learn a new one ??
TJ Yates has a huge head start.
I think Cardale is in big trouble. He's not one of McD's guys.
Rex Ryan was the darling of Russ Brandon who viewed Rex as a shot in the arm to sell tickets, sponsorship deals etc....
No football guy would bring in a 3-4 defensive coach to take over a Top 5 defense already set up as 4-3.
you want to blame T Pegs for listening to Russ....that's fair. I predict Russ will pay for that one year from now, as he's next on chopping block.
on the surface, Whaley looks weak and got pushed around by Russ and his head coaches. now he pays the price.
T Pegs has observed long enough.....you will see him bring in all his own hand picked people now.
number of players drafted who stayed on a non playoff team
vs
number of players drafted who made a super bowl champion team
not apples to oranges
also , as an example....NE used this years 1st round pick (#32 OVL) on some WR name Brandin Cooks
had he been in the draft.....would have gone Top 5
whaley was in charge of assembling the draft board and gauging other teams interest in trading up or down.
he didn't have FINAL say over anything.
now to be fair....it's very likely coach McD didn't have final say either
it was a "collaborative" effort (laffin).....as long as coach McD agreed
his talent level and pay says he is all-pro.
i doubt he ever gets back there....I really do.....even tho McD 's scheme is better suited to his preferred attacking style.
as far as i'm concerned he quit on his teammates last year just like Mario did the year before....just in a different way.
I hope he gets his act together.....I just think it's likely he gets suspended again before we can cut him loose after the 2019 season. for sure we are stuck with him for 2017 & 2018 because of dead money...and probably 2019
good for McD to keep everyone on their toes and working hard.
TT work ethic is off the charts....plus he has the added incentive of essentially working on 1 year contract deals.
barring injury, TT will be your day 1 starter.
did we get our monies worth out of Dareus last year ?
hell NO.....and that could have been avoided.
he was in trouble in college
he was in trouble as a Bill
and yet whaley signed him to an enormous contract
first, i suggest changing your underwear more than once every couple years....
second, this is a results oriented business, win or go home, no feeling sorry for the vanquished, they are very well compensated.
there will be a line out the door willing to take Tpegs money....
doesn't matter, that decision has already been made
Brandon Beane from panthers will get the job.
there was this player named Cordy Glenn who everyone said projected as a guard.
he turned out as an alright LT
then going back a lil further there was this TE named Jason Peters
he turned out as a pretty good LT
