Thomas Brown on wife's social media

The sample size is small, but his playcalling has been atrocious. Just look at last game. Run for over 200 yards and doesn’t trust the team to get a yard on fourth down. 
 

Any team that hires him to be a play caller is making a mistake, and while I understand his wife sticking up for him, I don’t think the NFL is cut out for mama boys.

To be fair, I didn't say as a coordinator, just hired at some position.  I agree, he has shown nothing as a play caller.

It's not just the playcalling. He wrote the playbook.

I would guess he'll get another job as a runningback coach somewhere, and maybe with more time he'll be ready to be an OC.

Unfortunately for us, this is the second time in the last few years that we've put an "up-and-comer" in that spot only to find out they weren't ready yet.

His wife went a bit far and he's not going to comment much on it.  It's really a non-issue. They all know they're all gone anyways, that's pretty much what she was saying. 

He's got some good coaches who respect him (not necessarily as a playcaller) and imagine he'll end up in Minny or LAR in due time in a similar capacity to what he was.  

Nothing to really see here.

The "we know we're already fired" part was essentially correct, but putting it in a way that made it sound like they were just going through the motions was a bad look.

Don't know that it'll follow him given all the dysfunction this team has anyway, but it probably would have been better left unsaid.

Yeah and then they’ll go elsewhere and succeed (Joe Brady).

Just like the players that fail here and succeed at their next stop (too many to name).

Brady went down a step to quarterback coach and got more experience. His second stint as an OC has a limited sample but so far looks better than his first one.

Won't surprise me if Brown does the same thing.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
