I haven't watched enough Colts games to say, but as a player he was part of buffalo's "K Gun" attack.

Yeah coaching wise I know he was OC for the Eagles Super Bowl year and then joined the Colts, Luck retired and it's been a similar QB nightmare situation there. Wentz did actually have better stats last year in that system vs this year so far. Rivers also had a solid 2020 season

I don’t like the way we did a QB like it was a disposable position under Rhule. 
I don’t like that Reich used that approach as well.

The difference is, I would trust Reich to know what he is talking about. So maybe would feel a little better in the same situation with him in charge. I mean, if it is a keep your powder dry hold the fort situation sometimes you have no choice but to make do.

We become a more attractive destination with a top 2 pick so we can land a QB 

We’re currently a tough to sell to any young offensive minded coach 

5 picks in the top 100 and 3 in the top 50, top 5 offensive line, three young receivers and an owner willing to trade it all for a franchise QB…

 

im not sure we are as tough as a sell as you propose. It’s not like teams who are hiring this off-season are going to have an established offensive roster already in place….

We've been over this before, nfl coaching jobs are gold and there is not a lot of history of people turning down jobs because of a bad situations.

The last coach I remember turning down a head coaching for a promotion (where another HC job wasn't available) was Josh McDaniel for the Colts. I bet the Raiders wish he turned them down too.

Tbf, plenty of candidates don't reach the stage McD did likely of their own volition. We've heard a few times people not being interested in interviewing for X team.  It's overall rare though. We also had fans here convinced Cam would never take a second contract with us...

you’re right, let’s keep winning 5 games a year and cheering on meaningless wins

That seems to be working out really well for us!

And tanking the piss out of every season has worked so well for Jacksonville hasn't it. You act as if it is not possible to find a franchise QB in any other draft position except 1 or 2. Tell me then, which QB this year is the can't miss Andrew Luck, Cam Newton or Payton Manning that we need?

Peters bowed out of our GM search. It happens but others will take any job that is a promotion. It all depends and unless we are operating under the traditional GM/HC structure than it keeps the worst away and be more about pairing those 2. Good pairings bring the best out and bad ones bring absolute crap to the table.

I just want to see a HC who is a football junky and strategist. Offensively minded would be the most stable longterm.

Statistics favor higher draft picks. That’s why they are most valuable. If there is confusion here, I’d honestly seek help.

Statistically speaking the variance of a true number one overall pick versus even a top 10 pick in terms of success rate is better however it is fairly marginal to the point of not understanding our "tanker" crowd and their hell bent position of whining every time our team does well. Its almost comical if i may. Statistically speaking less than half of first round QB's eclipse even a 4,000 yard / 24 TD season. Just about half of those don't even make it to a second contract. Now if you are talking about a first overall QB true number 1 pick then they do get better statistics wise of course that's a given but my whole point is if we don't get this number 1 overall pick it is still very possible to find a great QB. For every amazing franchise changing number 1 overall QB taken one could easily match it with a huge let down taken number 2 overall so unless we get the true number 1 overall pick that discussion is pretty invalid. There is no confusion here at all but thank you for your concern.

No matter what you do or think or say the coaches and players who's pay depends on their effort are not going to tank. So just save your energy. 

Some people just don't get it or their brains do not work to that level. That is 4-D chess to them. I agree, who in the hell with their jobs and livelihood on the line is knowingly going to tank on purpose and take a chance of being tossed aside for piss poor effort or play or coaching etc?

It takes years of dedication to the cause to get to the point nobody wants to talk to about a GM or HC position.  The only ones I remember for sure were Al Davis because nobody wanted to work for him and the 49ers when they pushed Harbaugh out. 

Maybe the Foreskins would have problems right now, but, if it looks fairly certain Snyder is a goner that will change even while he still has the keys to the place.

Jerry Jones has not always been able to hire who he wanted due to him being the second coming of Al Davis.  But he always finds somebody.

Otherwise, it takes a horrible and hopeless situation to become persona non grata.  While things haven't been pretty here, they are minor by comparison.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
