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.

    • It is tiresome for sure. This whole 6 year run is tiresome. I am tired of this team. Really just, can’t stand ownership’s reign and decision making and am worn the fug down by them. And the people who defend their mistakes, year after year. Oddly enough I have optimism, slight but it is there. Not about Bryce, he represents the bad Tepper decisions to me and either will change that opinion or he won’t.  I just have a decent feeling about the Morgan and Canales duo. 
    • Many of those posters are still around. The ones who compared him to hall of famers in this and other sports. They're just biding their time waiting to see if Bryce will suddenly turn into a great QB. I think the way you frame it indicates the problem. It's either on one side people who as you put it "don't like him" (in most instances impossible to truly know on an anonymous chat board) or people who need to see him with stacked talent to form a conclusion after hyping up as a one man show a year ago. You say there are discussions to be had but if it involves anything remotely on the side of negative instead of the "everything is awesome" end of the spectrum it is met with talk of what some are now describing as a pathological need to be critical of him. As if the rest of the sports world doesn't have these same blunt discussions whenever he is mentioned. If there were truly other more notable discussions to be had right now that haven't also been discussed endlessly we would be having them. We just had yet another uniform thread. Instead the top 2 threads dominating the front page for the last 24 hours since the first blueprint episodes dropped have revolved around the starting QB. That's just the modern NFL. Some people want to shoot the messenger over that because they don't like the banter that follows 🤷‍♂️
    • #1 thing you need for any rookie QB (as far as personnel goes) is the OL. Second thing you need is a run game that takes the pressure off the rookie and allows him a chance to grow. run games are just easier to manage for someone still learning the ropes. third thing you need is reliable bail out option receivers who can 1) get open and/or 2) just catch the ball. last year we had none of that in place. this year i think we've gotten together everything that he should have had last year.
