Ive been meaning to make a thread about WR coach jefferson, campy, Mccown, and duce. They all done piss poor and were labeled as saviors etc. 

frank took most of the heat and they deserve most of it. 

Do you blame the coaches if players start out bad or wait until they finish bad?

I want to see how we look by the end of the year before I go off on anybody.

The o-line has been underwhelming, and some of that falls on the coach. There are a lot of teams with missing and injured linemen and they seem to be able to coach around it, and so should we. So Campen needs to step it up.

I have no problem with the fact that he was laughing at an angry fan. It has no correlation whatsoever to how he feels about the performance of himself or his group.

This. I can confirm he does not give a rats ass.

I was at the Seattle game sitting on the tunnel after that 8 false start performance and when I saw Campen walking into the tunnel, I looked him right in the eye and said 8 false start is way to fugging many, clean it up and get these guys right. He looked back over his shoulder at me and smiled, laughed and then shook his head.

He's a journeyman coach that got paid based on his seniority. He should've been canned with Rhule.

 

Players get paid and quit...why cant coaches...If my name was attached to this oline i'd be embarrassed af...

I am ready to see Ekwanu go to guard and worry about sealing that inside for a QB to step into. 

After a couple more years maybe he can learn enough to do better at LT. 

A couple of years to get his feet wet in the pros at G may have been the best thing anyway. 

Not far from it myself. Short QBs make OG play more valuable than usual.

I honestly think Christensen should challenge him at LT in training camp next year if he doesn't show up significantly improved. Hopefully he will.

That's what really sucks about losing BC for the season. We could have switched them and let it see how it panned out. Bc wasn't amazing, but his name wasn't being called a lot the few games he did start at LT.

I wonder what scheme the OL/Offense ran while BC was at BYU. Much the way Ikey is struggling with a heavier focus on passing vs. run-heavy under Rhule, could BC be a better LT in this offense vs. the previous regime?

It’s football not rocket science. The fact they had a whole offseason and half a regular season and the starting RB and WRS and OL still don’t know what to do on any given play is 100% coaching

Modern football in general, and OL play in particular, is highly cerebral.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
