What are some of the things you know first hand? If you don’t mind sharing an example or two...

I’m not going to give specific examples. I’ve worked with him and worked with others who worked with him.

He himself admits to his issues though (though late). Plenty of articles on it. And it wasn’t exactly a problem that he didn’t wear on his sleeve.

??? of course hes in, but hes going to wait a few years. Can not believe this is a debate, has the huddle got more crazy? Yep hes not 100% clean and a bit of a jerk, but hes a 3x crown winner and his career was with sup-par QBs(including young Cam and old Joe). They heavily judge compared to era peeps and Steve was a 185 LB superman during his time. There was maybe only one CB that had a better win/loss % against Steve, everyone else caught Steves' hands...

When his name is announced on the nominees I hope we do a poll.  

How many triple crown receivers are there?  Calvin Johnson never won the triple crown and got in first ballot with smaller numbers.  

Smitty will be a 1st ballot HOFer.  NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!!!

Calvin has more all pro selections

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
