Matt Rhule's offense/defense since 2013

But two of the interceptions against Minnesota were just terrible.  You can't have a three-year starter throwing balls like that.


True.

On the first one, Satterfield and the team put together what was probably the best looking drive of the game. Great calls, great execution, and we get down to their 1 yard line...and then we false start to setup the passing down on 2nd & goal from the 6. I know we've beaten that one to death.

The decision to throw when & where he did then on that play was terrible...but it was his left guard that put him in that position in the first place. Of course, he still executed the passing play horribly.

I don't think he's as bad as he looked like the first two games.  I said earlier that I actually don't think the Colorado game was as bad as some, just from the standpoint that I can't believe that he'd continue to drop snaps like that and the handoff fumble was Grant's fault.

But two of the interceptions against Minnesota were just terrible.  You can't have a three-year starter throwing balls like that.  I don't see how that kind of decision-making gets fixed at this point.

HH's tipped ball INT was still somewhat his fault but I don't put those kind of things in the same category (although his low delivery will likely continue to be problematic).  And HH did hit a N. ILL defender in the hands but it was dropped, iirc.  

So I'm not saying HH is leaps and bounds greater.  But I just don't have any hope that Sims will be significantly better, based on his history and what we've seen so far.
Very good points.  I have said that HH should continue to start in the meantime, but I do think Sims coming back as starter isn’t out of the question. The whole situation is clear as mud.
