RB Coach Duce Staley and QB Coach Josh McCown fired

I am actually not at all surprised by firing McCown.  Who McCown may or may not have wanted is not at all relevant.  You have to coach the guys on your squad.  What is relevant is that Bryce has regressed as a player since coming here.

It seems like more and more folks are finally catching on to how bad BY's mechanics have been this year.  If you aren't, go look for the threads here, lots of good links in them.  Then go back and watch his Bama footage.  His mechanics are far better then.  That falls squarely on the shoulders of McCown as the QB coach.

I don't expect improvement this year.  Hopefully Bryce has the self awareness to look at his own tape this offseason and realize there is a problem.  Hopefully he will look to work on it on his own.

But as much as I respect McCown's ability to watch tape, whatever methods he was using to coach Bryce up were not working.

Not surprised by the McCown firing. I always felt he was an overrated and odd choice since he had only ever coached some high school football prior to this gig. Staley being let go is a bit of a surprise though.

This is my take as well. He might have been a pro Stroud guy but he also hasn’t seem to develop Bryce much at all.

McCown gone already? So much for having conviction.

So were they actually fired or did they basically say they no longer wanted any part of this?

I'm getting the vibe we are going to hear some things in the coming months about how the Bryce Young selection went down and it won't be pretty.

It’s not hard to figure out. They’re clearing the offices of people not all in on Bryce. 
 

Bryce will get a season with a new group. Then we’ll find out about Bryce.

McCown fired over Bryce, a quarterback that wasn't his choice.

Staley fired over Sanders I guess, but Hubbard and Blackshear were both improved over last year.

Chuba isn't really improved over last year. He just seems better because of how bad Sanders has been, but I haven't seen any development from Chuba. He's our best RB but the cupboard is pretty damn thin.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
