Look on the bright side:  they had 28 points in the middle of the third quarter.  Our current brain trust takes almost two games to get to that point!

I'd personally rather take a swing at an up-and-coming NFL coordinator (a risk, but not as much of a risk as another college guy with a Process/system).  But I'd rather bring Rivera back than another swing at a Rhule/Kelly/whoever is the latest college coach everybody is drooling over.  Not only can Tepper not know how to figure out who in that group might work out, I don't think anybody can.

Kyle Shanahan is their OC and see what happen after he left Dan Quinn........Hard pass....

Kye Shanahan is also the guy who called the plays with 4:00 to go, the lead down to 8, but the ball on the Pats 22.  At that point they could have played it smart, taken the gift of two big gains, re-extended the lead to 2-scores (11 points) and forced the Pats to burn time outs.  But he wanted to go for it, and they wound up not even getting the FG attempt, didn't cause NE to exhaust their time outs, and kept the deficit one score.

Yet Shanahan was able to get a job pretty quickly.  It was not as much of a gaffe as Darrell Bevell's brilliant strategy, but it was on the short list.

I'm not saying Quinn is the guy I want or would be a great move, but that meltdown was just as much on Shanahan's play calling when everything was on the line as anything Quinn did.

I think we need to see at least a full season of Dorsey as a coordinator.  Right now, all he's done is taken over the offense Brian Daboll built.  Yes, Dorsey gets a LOT of credit for helping develop Josh Allen.  But let's see him call plays and be creative.

Rumor has it Dan Quinn could be the next coach for the Panthers. 

We need a leader who can teach Football 101 to some of the current starters.  

If he can do it PLEASE make it SOOOOOOOON!!!!!

I’m not so sure Quinn is the way to go.  I honestly don’t think he is a good HC.  My understanding is that he started as a good coach at Atlanta. But then he was fired for performance later at Atlanta.

There were some obvious deficiencies in his coaching later at Atlanta.  I think he is extremely good defensive coordinator. However, coordinators don’t necessarily make good head coaches.  

It is like gambling, it is a crapshoot. You have to figure out the odds of having a good head coach.

    • Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
    • Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky. 
    • Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
