I mean Sean Payton was rated B and Habough in LA as a C+ .. its a popularity contest like the prowbowl and means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
I think you missed my sarcasm and point. As a hc your job is to foster a winning culture. That’s your number 1 job. Players loved Rivera and he was a terrible coach.
. That’s why I used Bellichik as an example, most players didn’t love him because he was a hard ass, but his teams won...
Dislexia - what idiot would give DQ an A+ after a 5 win season? .. and NO. "players didn't quit on him" is not a grading category... its a bare minimum for barely competent coach in the NFL
right.. but its a low risk, high upside deal. Sometimes players need a hard lesson in order to smarten up, and sometimes they are just dumb.. but in that case you cut him with minimal cost. He didn't beat up his gf or shoot anyone.. yet :) Pickens acquisition is looking solid now.. and he had a...
Not a huge fan of Aiyuk and he is getting close to Antonio Brown level stupidity .. but i do love me a good deal.. and he is bordering that.
If I am Peters i am using this situation to my advantage....assuming his rehab is on track. I go to him and say...
We love you man.. we'd love to have you...
The whole Likely thing is perplexing to me. Balt doesnt have much in the Receiving dept. Andrews is 31 and oft inj.
If the team is willing to let Likely go without as much as an offer.. makes me wonder if he might be fools gold or a locker room cancer.
I would be all in on Pierce.. but feel...
I also believe that they can rebuild the O pretty quickly if they plan well and make smart decisions.. its seems like many of the previous moves were wishful thinking vs intelligent planning.
1. Oline upgrades are good. so Oline should be better this year and deep.
2. RBs - depending on Ekeler...
if either coordinator ends up bombing... Quinn is done.
Both have to hit it out of the park and the team should have 9+ wins. frankly, chances of this are pretty slim.
APs roster decisions are not made in a vacuum. I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn and coordinators have a heavy say in...
while a new RB would be a bonus.. we have soooo many other needs. Honestly a coordinator that can properly match our run game to pass can make Rordriguez and Bob look better. I dont want an average level starter.. those are a dime a dozen. we either swing big or not at all. Not sure where all...
he also blew a 25point lead in the same superbowl... and had a terrible D the whole time in ATL.. same team that was bad pre Kyle and after. sun shines on every dogs ass every once in a while.
And there in lies the problem. Mid coaches get to the playoffs here and there. Great coaches get to the superbowl. Sadly We’re not getting to the superbowl with Quinn.
Quinn as a coach is an equivalent in QBs to a Stroud or Baker Mayfiled. Limited but can succeed when everything around him is clicking fully. As soon as any adversity hits though... which tit always does... he falls apart. You cant win consistently with a coach like that.
Wagner is a goner... Luvu isnt going anywhere.. they played him out of position and frankly mis-used players all over.. it might work out long term because they could resign him for less. Min D relies on athletic LBs... i have a feeling a couple on this team might get more playing time and look...
Saleh is actually going to call the D plays in ATL .. which is pretty interesting. He is a great D coordinator so it makes sense.
Problem with Quinn is that he adds absolutely nothing on D or O. He will have to swim or sink with his coordinator hires. (Something he already failed at once ) He...
Quinn didnt out-coach anyone. Shanahan did.. it was Kyle's coming out party and he's been one of the top OC/HC in the NFL since then. The only thing Quinn "accomplished" in ATL was a bottom of the barrel Defense for several seasons. As soon as Kyle went to Niners the team fell apart. So it...
Mcdaniels will likely land a HC job this cycle... there are lots of opening and not that many high end HC candidates. Peters learned from a previous mistake..
1. He waited for Ben Jonhnson and in the end not only missed on getting him, but also missed on all the other high end candidates. Had...
Conspiracy theorist in me (Of course it could be that Lions were playing chess... to Wash checkers. Show some interest towards Blough while really courting Mcdaniels so Wash jumps at signing Blough so as not to loose him.. while Det was never seriously interested)
