When I look at Frank Reich led offenses, I see a disturbing amount of mediocrity.

2014 - San Diego OC, 17th scoring offense

2015 - San Diego OC, 26th scoring offense

2016 - Philly OC, 16th scoring offense

2017 - Philly OC, 3rd scoring offense (Carson Wentz plays out of his mind)

2018 - Indy HC, 6th scoring offense (Andrew Luck's final season)

2019 - Indy HC, 16th scoring offense

2020 - Indy HC, 9th scoring offense

2021 - Indy HC, 9th scoring offense

2022 - Indy HC, 30th scoring offense

Overall, his offenses are averaging about 15th in scoring.  It appears that Reich needs a QB to play amazing in order to have a good offense.  I think he would have a better chance than Wilks, but I don't think it's any sort of home run that he'll turn the team around.

What OC doesn't need a qb to play out of his mind to have a top offense? That doesn't make any sense.

If Jalen Hurst hadn't been playing out of his mind would you guys still be wanting his OC? Of course not.

Even if he were playing mediocre, Steichen still had his hands on River's late career revival in SD, as well as Herbert's assent as a top QB in the NFL in only his rookie season.

Dude coached 3 separate kinds of QBs into pro bowlers.

I am intrigued.

I am leary. 

You could give the qb coach as much or more credit if you're being honest. I'm just not the type to fall for the latest hot media slurping coaching candidates. Fans fall for that stuff all the time.  Let's see how it shakes out.

Call me a skeptic.

He was Both Rivers and Herbert's QB Coach, then got promoted to Herbert's OC.

Then he went to Philly as their OC and helped Jalen turn into an MVP candidate.

I like and respect your skepticism but I think Steichen looks like a great candidate and his work stands up to scrutiny. If there is a problem with him I can't see it. 

I would rather take a chance on him over JH who wants absolute control when his offense was what kept him from a SB. No guarantees but I'll take the coach that made 3 QBS look their best over the rest as it stands now.

And that's the only reason. Like I pointed out, an OC is only as good as his qb. If you don't have one you are looking for one. 

Their QBs improved under their coaching, much like so many of our players magically improved when Matt Rhule was no longer in charge.

Coaching absolutely matters.

Before the media heat, that one my reasoning with him. If its a "QB" league, who is great in the last five years? Steichen looks like the best, cannot get AndY Reid(reasonable). The before and after with Teams/QBs also shows Steichen had a HUGE effect...herbo took a step back after having the best rookie QB season in NFL history, rivers looked better than prime-version, hurts looks like the mvp and the year without steichen he looked like a Darnold path was happening. 

Im not fad person, but the young offense HC has had great recent results. You need to be able to use alllllllllllllllllll the new technology available......just facts that mid-late 30s old years are better than 60+ dudes who grew up with film.....

Good points overall, though I gotta say I genuinely don't give a flying sh-t about the "marketability" of our assistant coaches.

I would have to agree with Mike. I also agree with you about marketability. Maybe he meant selling Tepper on them? Either way I don't care. Want to sell me on the group? Win. Develop a good qb, a deep team and win consistently.  Do that and I'm all aboard baby.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
