Opinions: more important...great HC or great QB

A great coach will pick a great QB, not the other way around.

Plus a great coach stays around for way longer than a great quarterback.

I don't think its quite that simple.  The small number of great qb's makes them difficult to get, even if one is a great coach.  And i would say that a great qb can make a good coach look great and vice versa.

How much can a great quarterback make up for a lousy coach vs vice versa, though?

Could a great quarterback help fix having the worst run defense in the league?

I would also point out that replacing a lousy quarterback is a hell of a lot easier than replacing a head coach given the long process of interviewing candidates, forcing the entire team to learn new systems, etc.

We’ve literally witnessed what a great QB with an average Coach does. That’s what we have had for almost a decade now...

I hear you. I don't think Rivera is an average coach. I think he was the wrong coach for this team. 

Still don't understand why they drafted Cam #1 overall to play on a team where they expected him to "manage" games. If you draft a QB #1 overall then you're all in on the offense. This team has NEVER been that.

    • If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?
    • It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay
    • If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
