Coaching Matters... Shane Steichan....

So let me get this straight, we did't give this man a thorough look because he interviewed funny over ZOOM while his team was in the midst of a playoff/superbowl run?

So he didn't coddle the Billionaires enough to make them feel warm and fuzzy because he was busy game planning for the playoffs?

 

I am not even touching DeMeco Ryans but what I am saying is, Frank was available for a reason, he had all the time in the world to kiss up and grab his ankles to make the Teppers feel good about themselves. 

 

Here we have Steichan having his team COMPETE in December, a team that was abysmal under Reich. Now mind you this is mostly the same roster Frank had and considering he is getting the job done with the #4 pick out shows you have horrible Frank and his coaching schemes are

 

The morale of this story, until there's a president of football to help steer the GM / Coaching search, this new hire will basically be another Appaloosa analyst reporting to the boss

As an NFL fan, all you can really hope for at the minimum is that your team is playing meaningful football in December and the 2023 Coaching Hires

  • Jonathan Gannon, Arizona Cardinals- entertaining football and always compete
  • Shane Steichen, Indianapolis Colts- playing meaningful football
  • Sean Payton, Denver Broncos- can't stand him but playing meaningful football
  • DeMeco Ryans, Houston Texans- odds on favorite for coach of the year
  • Frank Reich, Carolina Panthers- a dinosaur who's brand of football was as exciting as C-SPAN but more importantly a great "yes sir" company man

The Teppers don't want an HC who has any control (including staff, roster & benching players). Any wish for an actual HC is futile. They want a roster whisperer to breathe life into what they have already built.

The HC who agrees to manage the team, adopt Appaloosa culture & keeps Young, Hubbard, Mingo, Tremble & Ekwonu in place as starters gets a $50m guaranteed contract (no benching or position changes allowed).

There is no championship end to this madness.

The hope is Tepper is 100% right with his team building strategy & revolutionizes the game where AI runs the team. No one outside the owner has control of the team.

Bums me out to see what could have been with Steichen, who was at the top of my list, and Minshew as a backup in case the rookie got hurt. They are just a fun team to watch.

I'd dare to say that what Steichen is doing with Minshew is just as impressive as Demeco is doing with Stroud

It really is just as impressive, especially considering the state of disarray that franchise was in last year between the firing of Reich, hiring of Jeff Saturday as interim, the saga of Jonathan Taylor, and the limited talent throughout the roster.

Take a look at Philly's offense last night. Lack of pre-snap motion and anything that made Steichen's offense a staple. More or less it's now an offense with the goal of letting their talent overcome scheme, and such backfired against the 49ers.

Shame the Panthers passed on Steichen for a dinosaur in Reich.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.
