offensive coordinator approach

First, I do not believe Sam is a good QB. 

But, second, can we and should we blame our coaching? Specifically, why in the HECK is our OC sitting up in a booth smacking his gum and not coaching. Every good team, their OC's are down on the sidelines actually coaching. Sam goes out and throws a pick and there is nobody to talk to him about coverages with, look at their dumb Microsoft services and find something maybe that might work....?

He fails and he puts his hat on and gets no coaching. The coaching is failing him just as much. You can prepare as much as you want during the week but things change. Even Tom Brady is on the sidelines speaking with Byron Leftwitch.

I think this is a complete failure on Rhule and Brady.

Honestly coordinators belong in the booth IMO.

The main problems with this team stem from the QB on the field and the players assigned to protect him.  At the very least the FO needs to address the line and get a future starter at QB. 
 

Brady could be sleeping on an air mattress in Sam's apartment and on the sidelines during games throwing rose pedals at his feet but the results would be the same.

Many of those OCs are head coaches : McVay, Kingsbury, Lefleur, Sean Payton.

But there are several good teams whose OC is in the booth. Buffalo and Dallas OCs call the game from the booth for example.

The QB coach needs to be spending time with Darnold on the sideline.

He does.  Usually after a series I’ll see Sam sit down with Sean Ryan and look at the tablet, go over stuff, etc.  This guy has been QB Coach for Stafford and Watson.  He knows good QB play.  I just don’t think Sam is able to get over the mental hurdles of being an NFL QB.

The OC should have been able to look at Darnolds tape prior to signing him and said, this guy can't run my offense. Now 9 games into the season, he's still on the field and still can't run the offense. At some point you either believe you have what it takes and Rhule won't listen to you, you look terrible, and get fired, or you walk to save your career. He ain't walking so...

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
