Would you take Peyton Manning as a first year OC?

The talking heads of the media has been throwing around an idea about Peyton potentially retiring this year. I don't know if you would want to be a coach or not, but if he decided to become an offensive coordinator would you want to bring him in to replace Shula?

I say yes.

In B4 Gary Busey would be a better coach than Shula.

Absolutely.

I want to see him explain to another person what he is seeing in his mind, and I want to know if he can even explain how he knows what the defense is doing without being on the field to manipulate the outcomes.

I'm very interested to see if he will make a good coach.

  Great players, if you think about it, rarely make great coaches.  Name one.  The reason (I heard this from my Dad a long time ago--he got it from Dan Reeves, friends of my father during their days at So Carolina) ---Paraphrased:  Great players are great because they do things without thinking or without trying that others have to practice--it occurs to them naturally.  So, they don't understand what a lesser mind or lesser athlete really has to go through--(something to that effect)  Makes sense-- Basically, the best coaches are the overachievers--the Riveras, the Garretts, the Del Rios, the Ditkas, the Kubiaks, etc.  They know the fundamentals, the work ethic, etc. that great ones don't.

 

Was Bird a good basketball coach?  Was Ted Williams a good manager?  Mike SIngletary?  There are usually exceptions, but I can't really think of any GREAT players being a good coach.

Yes he was.  Very good in fact.  He is about the only exception I can think of.

 

Of course, I probably should not have put him in the category with great players (considering my point was players who had a ton of natural, God-given athleticism).  I see Bird as an over-achiever, a player who was better because he worked harder.  Not a lot of athleticism, arguably.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
