The ONLY interim coach I know of to lead a team to the playoffs in recent memory was the Raiders coach last year, but that was a team with a winning record and a stacked roster expected to make the playoffs. The situation was nothing like this at all IMO.

And he arguably should have been retained.

This teams is in the playoffs? Also this team is gonna get its ass whipped. Cowboys will not let us run in them and Diggs wants some more interceptions from Darnold. Making the playoffs is pointless. 

The whole point of my post was the hypothetical that we win out And make the playoffs.

Obviously if we don't it's different.

I hated the darnold trade, but had a feeling he was humbled by being benched and he learned while being out, I knew he was going to better in his return 

I think we would have won more if he had started the season

Maybe. Hard to know for sure. But he was also injured, so.

Perhaps the injury was a blessing in itself as it allowed him to continue to sit and learn?

Someone did mention he was watching other games as well (probably seeing what other QBs are doing and what he can do to better himself)....

 

I'll say this for him :  He's come a long way from that ridiculous Podcast appearance where he had an over-inflated opinion of himself.

It was definitely a blessing. It got Rhule fired.

Darnold does seem to have worked hard to improve himself when he wasn't starting. That speaks to characteristics you want in a QB, even a backup QB.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
