Our red zone effeciency wasnt as bad as memory serves.  We were tied with the Browns at 14 for 58%.  Bad thing is the last 3 games was 44% and last game was 33%.  Seems force feeding McCaffery is not a good way to score TDs

I don’t know why we’d be looking to replace him with any of these jags we’ve been signing (other than Anderson, not a jag). Curtis did the best he could with the trash we had at QB last year and the year before he seemed to score a TD every third touch (only a slight exaggeration).  He body catches a little, but still catches most catchable balls thrown his way. He just needs more opportunities.

Collectively it has been garbage the last 4 years or so. At least it certainly feels that way.

People have been dogging Samuel seemingly since he was drafted.  Why?  Because he didn't put up stupid receiving numbers in college (as a RB), was hurt early on, has been working with backup QBs and a staff that tried to run the entire offense through one guy, CMC.  Never mind he's a helluva Swiss knife.  These are the people that want #1 WR talent three or four deep.  You know, the ones STILL wanting to take a WR at#7.

He has gotten better.  Hopefully this staff will shorten up some of his routes instead of using him as a one trick pony as the deep threat.

Exactly.  He ran shorter routes some, but definitely during the 2nd half of the season it seemed his job was to run deep and try to open up the underneath stuff for CMC.

In fairness to Samuel, he got open deep at least 10 times I can remember off the top of my head and Allen may have connected on 1-2 of those.

I hope Teddy can throw it deeper than it has appeared for most of his career.

Or maybe we paid Anderson $10M a year so him and Samuel can take turns trying to run the defense off CMC

I really hope with the Anderson signing we stay 3 wide most of the year otherwise someone is being wasted... Both can take the top off even out of the slot so it's exciting to see what this offense can do. TB is light-years better then Allen and dj still balled. Keep pounding!

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
