  1. The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    The hype is sort of like after the Comms made it to the NFCCG. So, small difference I guess? They are picking 5 this year, we were picking last 4. Harbaugh is the big driver but it is a combo. If DQ coached NY, would they be as hyped? I don’t think so. However, if Harbaugh coached here, it...

  2. The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    The mistake for DQ was hiring KK in the first place. They clearly did not have a good philosophical match. He questioned KK in 2024 and 2025 but I think only made the move after 2025 because of results (sure it may also have been to give him a year to change too, but I think it meets...

  3. The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    Well, frankly, I have said this a few times before - and others did in 2024 as well, but it seems many have forgotten. DQ and KK had pressers that contradicted each other in both years. DQ had pressers in 2024 and in 2025 (both) where he made comments about needing to run the ball more. When the...

  4. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Defense needs to be a well oiled machine to be successful; that means in a given scheme, players need to know their roles and responsibilities and execute them. I see what you mean but I also think what you are describing may be more about the choice of defensive philosophy: some defenses are...

  5. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    100%. But less than ideal circumstances occur literally all of the time. Anyone with good organizational skills would be ready for that. They adapted to their situation and landed here. When I walk it through in my head, there are circumstances that make it not sound so outlandish that nay have...

  6. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Personally, I heard more about Blough in the assistant coach list than any other offensive coach. During 2024, it was heavily talked about that he designed the winning play to Crowder against the Eagles. After the season, he was pursued (I think by the Jets?) and the Commanders blocked it, I...

  7. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    If I am being honest, I don’t think there’s a great chance for success with DQ. At this point, I have seen enough to say “CEO, you are not.” However, I choose to generally be positive so looking at it differently, these coordinators are going to have a really fresh take. It will be a...

  8. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    yes this has been said by Blough a couple of times already and we have seen and heard hints on the past (Blough designed and called the winning play against the Eagles in 2024 - well at least designed). So yes this is a test for Blough, but I think this was the plan from the jump. Can DQ eval...

  9. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Oh, I'm not sure you're right. I'm not sure DQ did a lot of outside interviewing. What was reported there? As I recall, not a whole lot (for OC in particular). You know, Blough referenced in his presser that he felt strongly he was being prepped for this moment. He said they gave him exposure...

  10. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Overall, I wouldn't be so concerned, but right now I have some big doubts on Stapleton. Not that he's "bad" but that we could have done better; I think that particular choice plus keeping Donatell. It feels like we could (and needed) to do better with OL coach right off the bat, and then for...

  11. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Dang, you sour! Haha. I get it, you're not wrong - and I think ultimately this is the DQ problem. I just don't think his analytical process as an organizational leader makes much sense. I am also starting to question AP in the same vein, it feels like there are some obvious issues being...

    Well he got Payne to run his fist into some people

  13. The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    Wow, I gotta say, I feel sad/bad after watching some of this DQ presser, although I guess it's unsurprising. In particular, I would say it's very alarming when he talks (and I've said this before, he doesn't have a strong filter on his words, he pretty much says what he's thinking - he only...

  14. Daronte Jones and the Defensive Staffing Thread

    You are saying that because of the William Gay listing there?

  15. David Blough and the Offensive Staffing Thread

    Haven’t watched many pressers with ben j or macdonald but a couple of interviews they did seem less personal, bit awkward. Maybe Blough is cut from that cloth - hopefully he has the acumen to match! Haven’t watched Blough presser yet

  16. The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I don’t think we were frugal for two decades, there were a lot of idiot moves in that period. It is close though… wow. Is Haynesworth the last crazy spend? I think the issue we saw here play out many times was this: 1) get player who wanted to win (I believe many start with that) 2) player...

  17. The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I think one thing that I have come around to after years of agonizing over scheme fit and other aspects is, there are talented and smart players out there. Sometimes the inability to achieve "scheme fit" isn't about the player fit, and it's more about the coaching. I think good coaching makes it...

  18. The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Yup, as skinsinparadise said, there is a lot of questioning right now if Aiyuk is burning bridges. Kind of comical in a way. Many are suggesting that with Jayden's close relationship, at a minimum, Aiyuk could be manageable and the reward outweighs the risk IF he clears medical testing. I think...

  19. The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    Yes, "catch radius" is not always calculated the same way - and the way I wrote my prior post made it sound exclusive to larger receivers, but I intended to imply that all else being equal (and I think we are trying to find great receivers, so that kind of implies all of the general stats are...

  20. The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    All of this is true, but I would say, there are some advantages on having a huge catch radius that usually comes with larger sized receivers. If your QB is off, a guy with a large catch radius can still manage to reel in a lot of those passes. Personally, I agree with you - but I think some...
