Great person and great defensive coach. Good role model for any young person.

If it turns out like the other two mentioned we will all love it. At the end of the day HC money doesn't matter to anyone but the owner. All of the money owed to Reich doesn't affect our team outlook in any way.

It also appears Dan Morgan got the guy he wanted due to their history. GM heavily involved in picking his HC, search and numbers mimic previous coaches hired through the same firm. So far so good as far as Tepper meddling....

The firm they used to hire Canales had the Rams give McVay a 6 year and the Niners give Shanahan a 6 year. It is suppose to acknowledge it will take several years to correct this team and roster. From the outside looking in, it looks like Tepper is letting the firm do their thing.

Sounds like you are optimistic about being pessimistic. What does it all mean?!?

Oh I agree. Football isn’t serious. It’s a fun hobby. Part of being a fan is getting overly excited about it. I just never get too vested or take it too personally when they fail to meet expectations. I’m all about wait and see and if it doesn’t work, reset and try again with football.

I’m going to need that dumbed down and summarized please. Thanks.

He is 5’10” and some change. They measure them now in front of everyone. I’m curious to see if he bulks up some this offseason like CMC did. That really could help him a lot.

Young was actually 6 foot even. A bunch of those guys were exaggerated back then. https://magazine.byu.edu/article/the-perspective-of-a-six-foot-quarterback/ I’m only 6 feet tall. My football card says 6-foot-2, and in shoes I really am 6-2, but it was a dream to be 6-2 because “6-foot” and “quarterback” don’t go together well in the NFL because everybody else is 6-5, 6-6, 6-7. He does go on to say it led to him not seeing many open WRs…

Yeah most “sources” I’ve read state Frank wanted Carr which actually fits him better since he has never really worked with a rookie QB.

Burrow’s arm was fine. He just found a way to make it better. Great players are always looking at ways to get better.

Throwing form and muscle can increase it. Burrow was able to increase his throwing velocity by tweaking his throwing motion after his rookie year. He strengthen his hips. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/joe-burrow-altered-throwing-motion-this-offseason-while-recovering-from-torn-acl#:~:text=He made changes to his,and being more accurate downfield.&text=Burrow focused on strengthening his,with his velocity and accuracy.

Josh Allen had some of his mechanics fixed at Buffalo.

Ben Johnson was a first year OC last year when he opted out of interviews last year. A lot of people on here were wanting him as HC then.

Cam’s success under Dorsey vs Geno’s jump in his first year with Canales isn’t really close to the same thing at all. Geno was written off as a bust and received “comeback player of the year.” The same award Baker is a finalist for this year. You can dismiss success for any candidate, but it is a good sign that it at least appears to follow this candidate. Hopefully it will translate at the next level. Nothing is a guarantee but I’m at least intrigued. Pretty solid candidate considering where we are as a franchise.

Yeah it’s promising. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but who knows. Arthur Smith was the hottest candidate in his cycle and 3 years later he is unemployed.

Oh I agree but if success follows the candidate that’s a good sign. Russ’s best year was when Canales was his QB coach. Geno’s comeback year had Canales as the QB coach, Baker’s recent career year featured Canales as OC.

What about Geno the prior year?

Agreed.

We can also do a list of coaches with HC experience that failed starting with our most recent one…

He took a team that lost the GOAT at QB, inserted Baker and increased the scoring by 11%. Their offense did better in the second half of the season vs first and yes Evero had some success against him but hopefully we retain Evero too. He also was the QB coach Geno’s comeback year and Russ’s best year, worked with Carroll for over a decade. Carroll brought him with him from USC so he must think highly of him. He also has Dungy as a sort of mentor. I mean all things considered, we could do a lot worse. Young coordinator starting to gain recognition is really our best route. If Canales looked good again next year it could have been a bidding war.

Yeah I’m not laughing. He the Rams D looking solid with several rookies stepping up.

Honestly you are right and it’s not a bad decision based on where we are as a franchise. We didn’t have to worry about a bidding war and losing him to another franchise.

Umm what? Ben Johnson is the guy everyone is wanting and he has no HC experience. Sean McVay had no HC experience, Kyle Shanahan, John Harbaugh, and the list goes on. 3 of the 4 coaches left had no HC experience when they were hired by their current teams.
