Casey and Charles Thompson meeting with Rhule now.

Thompson strikes me as a QB who’s skill set is actually better suited for an RPO scheme, and not whatever the hell Whipple was asking him to do.

RPO’s, when correctly schemed, can actually negate a lot of OL pass-pro issues. If you have decent tackles and terrible interior lineman, you can essentially take your interior lineman out of the equation by moving the pocket to wherever your best lineman are. It gets the QB on the edge and gives the pass rushers multiple things to worry about, as opposed to doing a 5 step drop and praying our OL keeps the pocket clean for more than 1.5 seconds.

That’s part of why you hear Rhule say the burden of protecting the QB goes 1. Coaches 2. QB 3. OL

Whipple, on the other hand, believed in 1. OL 2. QB 3. RB 4. Receivers getting open 5. Coaches
It also hides not having a big arm. More about accuracy, decision making and timing.
 
If I’m Casey I come back only if you go get 5 impact OLine transfers immediately
 
He also had probably a dozen deep balls that would have been easy TDs this year where he didn't get near enough on it
Well hard to throw a deep ball when your Labia (Fuking auto correct) was shot from taking hits by game 4 & you suffered nerve damage in ur arm where u lost feeling in ur hand
But critique on…

Add a calf injury that limited his mobility early on in the year.
 
Good stuff. Sounds fairly positive for keeping Casey, actually. Long way to go, of course, but for Day 1, looks promising.

Maybe in 2-3 days when his body feels better, his mind and spirit will lean even more towards a return.

It's tough when your body is aching to think about putting yourself in front of the firing squad again.
