That's part of the off-season he's excited about.

Cutler had 2 winning seasons in 12. Carr has 2 in 9. Rather similar

If they aren't interested in coaching them up then what good are they? The idea that coaches just what easy gigs without challenge doesn't seem based in reality. If a coach has this approach you don't want them to begin with.

Why? It's not a particularly strong class of QBs

That's yet to be determined but he's an assistant position coach. This is how former players get their start in coaching .

Smith and Hall have been working together at NFL Network for several years. They regularly do segments together.

No. Unless his contract expectation is rather low and expectation of long term starting is as well.

That would be dumb since a QB isn't being picked at 1 and maybe not top 3. Discussing trading to 1 is a waste of time since it's not necessary to get either of the top QBs

Probably a mistake to use the recovery method but that statement was so off the mark and factually incorrect I couldn't help it.

Even if he didn't have play calling experience this a great situation to cultivate young offensive coordinators. You have Reich and Caldwell at your side. You can see how this will be about taking Reich's concepts and influences and integrating with ideas from the McVay/Shanahan lineage. This is pretty much an ideal situation for us and there are several other young coaches in that room in Frazier, McCown to cultivate. Staley too but I get the impression he is more head coach type than coordinator type but who knows.

Kyle Shanahan had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. Shane Steichen had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. Sean McVay had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. MIke McDaniel had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. But... Thomas Brown has 3 years experience as on offensive coordinator and play caller at Miami. Does anyone read the linked articles or bios of these guys?

Worst case is we aren't a good offense or team. Nothing different than we've seen in 14 or 16.

It's possible but it would have nothing to do with who is playing volleyball in Maryland.

I think somebody said it already but we just don't pass enough to give all these receivers plus Olsen numbers that fans want to see. You can't judge them on yards/receptions simply.

He can catch, isn't injured, doesn't fail drug tests, and knows what the fug he is doing.

Gaffney was exposed because of the timing of his injury. Being a legit injury that happened earlyr enough that we wanted to get another player in fast enough to take advantage of camp time. If it's just a matter of stashing someone they will wait until after the date they can be poached since the motivation here is to have that player maximize camp time since we they are not really injured.

Sprinters are typically quite built. Putting on muscle shouldn't slow him down.

Yes. It took Norman 2.5 years. I'll give these guys at least a preseason.

Let's make definitive roster judgements after the first rookie mini camp. That is the sound and reasonable thing to do.

I don't know how he could fool the process at the combine. Seems that's his official height. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2016/02/nfl_combine_2016_defensive_linemen_measurements.html

That's what he was measured at the combine.

I understand your logic but why would a DE pick contribute more than a cb? An end wouldn't start over Johnson or Ealy either. The only position I could see starting would be on the secondary or if we had landed a top OT. Other than these areas a draft pick isn't starting for this team IMO.

I for one am excited about the influx of secondary talent. If they pan out it should be fun to watch for a while.

What about Soliai? He was our most expensive hire. I hope we arent so attached to the possibility of comp picks that we are adverse to filling holes. I don't think it's as simple as one cancelling another.
