Bottom line is any coach has to make JD’s health a #1 concern. Be it designing plays to lesson the chance of harm, or coaching him up better when to give up on a play. I think that’s why Kliff is gone. To many play calls either putting him in harms way or relying on him to be Superman.
Problem is your evaluations could lead you to conclude there is no one available you think you could get that is any better. And could be far worse. You don’t want to fire good knowing you can’t get great. Kliff is good, just so far not great.
I agree with this. But also better be damn careful about letting that go if you don’t have an inside track to something better. We could do way worse than Kliff.
This resonates with me. His propensity to put JD in harms way along with JD going super hero too much makes me very afraid he stays healthy enough to have a long career.
Draft Downs and he becomes the green dot after Bobby??? Seems to have the intelligence and feel to do it. Plus it amplifies his value if he’s good at it.
