it's weird, it's almost like coaches and teams just sell you a bunch of bologna publicly they want you to believe.  Not that it's all rooted in truth.  So maybe you can't put much stock in their words. 

I got this weird deja vu feeling. 

lol yeah without a doubt to a degree.  There are always some elements of playing to strengths in every roster.  AT moving to the slot vs outside would be an example, moving to a 3-4 for Brown and Burns is another.  Overlooking the skillset of his OL is by far the biggest mistake he has made this offseason.  Lying about who helped design a playbook though would have no advantage whether it be PR or hype about the team.  That's when things overblown by us fans and legit complaints get lumped into nonsense ones.

Sure, it does. 

because they hired Thomas Brown and the initial setup in reality was he wasn't being employed as a real NFL OC.  Frank was the OC for practical purposes. So to make Thomas Brown sound the best possible.....you overstate things he is involved with.   To make him look good and sound good.  It's all PR.  Nothing wrong with it.  Which is why I don't cherry pick that one instance out as nefarious lying.  They have sold much bigger bologna than that sugar coated version to hype Brown's job/role. 

That's what saying Thomas Brown built this playbook from the ground up does...it overstates and overplays what he is and did.   To make him look good. And that is the business.  For everyone.   It's not about lying.  It's just PR to sound good.  Reality is he never built it from the ground up.  He took Frank Reich playbook.  Because the base of the playbook was going to be Frank's....and added to it. But that doesn't sound as good when looking/talking about Thomas Brown.  The newb OC who wasn't even allowed to call plays when he came here. 

So it's a word game.  I just acknowledge it's a 24/7 PR game for essentially all teams.

Yeah see this is where it starts sounding crazy.  All of this for something your average fan doesn't really care about.  Coaches exaggerating how good his players are/his coaching it makes sense and happens all the time.  Hell they SHOULD do this to a degree to give their team confidence.  What you are talking ab out looks like this...

Yeah, not going down that road again 😄

There's actually a lot of good discussion being had here. Not gonna derail it responding to that kind of silliness.

      I need to actually do a full analysis but I think the issue was more that we'd rarely have top-to-bottom awesome drafts but we'd frequently have drafts where only 2-3 players panned out, but the 1st is a Pro Bowler and the other two solid starters or backups. We rarely had drafts where only 1 player was good, and we never had absolute useless drafts. At the very least we always had one really, really good guy. The worst was probably 2005 where we got Thomas Davis (Hall of Honor-quality player) and Geoff Hangartener. Evan Mathis was good, but only after he left.

      Hurney wasn’t good with contracts but I think he was probably above average at drafting.  Not saying he was great.  Just that most draft classes are worthless.

      Ehh, teams earlier this season double and tripled teamed him with decent success. The reason he beasted out so much with Miami was for some reason they did not much at all. Bad call on their part. But that is his purpose. If he is eating up people that is huge, and theoretically should give others the ability to make a play. But his surrounding cast to do that isn’t great. Brown is something OCs have to put a lot of time to plan for.
