West coast offense on the East coast

Recommended Posts

Question for all the Football geeks out there. The west coast offense requires a quick release and quick decision making. Darnold has neither quality. Assuming he is the starter, they will play a more conventional offense.

If he shats the bed midway through the season and they put Corral in, how long will it take to switch to a west coast/hybrid offense? Do we have the personal on the offense to play that game? Will thay have to redo the playbook to accommodate the system?

Yeah, I think it's a little preposterous to think that McAdoo isn't going to install at least some variation of his offense from the start, the training wheels will be pulled off in relatively short order. As a seasoned vet, Darnold is going to be expected to learn it, execute it, and ultimately master it by September. He better because Corral will be gunning for the job from the very beginning.

Talent wise Darnold and Corral are probably pretty close.  What separates them is Corral is a better processor and has a quicker trigger.

This. There won't be two playbooks, just the one that they all have to learn. There won't be any switching midstream of schekse, that would set everyone back too far. 

Either Sammy can do it or not. If not, put in the guy that can. It's that simple.

Not sure if you can really make that assumption.  Corral really wasn’t asked to process in college, large part of the reason he fell in the draft.  That doesn’t mean he can’t, just means he hasn’t.

Corral to me seems like he’s a back up at the nfl level. 

Lol based off what? Or that’s just a feeling you have? Based off Chris Simms qb evaluation over the last four years he’s been very accurate with his assessments. It SEEMS like Corral has the tools to be a excellent starter will our coaching staff actually coach him up  to his potential is my question.

I thought Darnold has a quick release and the ability to make those quick reads. Brady's offense required time, time we didn't have with the offensive line and CMC hurt.

If Darnold was really able to make quick reads and get the ball out on time, our line wouldn't matter.  There were options available to him.  He didn't get there.

I am sorry but i have to disagree with that assessment.
 
Given a little development time i feel Matt Corral has the ability and skill set to be a very good starting QB in the NFL and i am glad we were able to draft him where we did.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
