This has got to be worst coaching cycle in years

Patriots- Vrabel: Really thought they would go outside the box here and go after Johnson or somebody different-thought wrong. Instead they replaced their coach with who they wanted the last coach to be.
 

Raiders- Carroll: Only way this works is if the plan is for his successor to be on the staff and mentor him the next 1-2 years. He will be 74 when the regular season gets here. He was .500 head coach at best his last few years in Seattle with John Schneider stacking his roster.

Bears- Johnson: Holy hell did this guy blow his future. He turned down all these teams to coach Caleb Williams and the Bears. FYI, the Bears have a worst record than us the last 10 seasons. And he gets to play against 3 playoff contenders in his division twice each a year.

Jaguars-Coen: Might be the best hire of this cycle. However, he has almost no experience. Dave Canales has more NFL consistency than him. He seems to bounce to and from college often. 
 

Jets-Glenn: Good luck to him dealing with Aaron Rodgers and Woody Johnson everyday. Their roster is horrible and full of more JAGs than ours. They are selling this feel good story about him being drafted by the Jets but it’s putting off real Frank Reich in Carolina vibes. I bet he doesn’t last the season.

 

Cowboys-?: Jones is interviewing his current OC and Former OC. So yeah whatever comes out of that. 
 

Saints-?: They don’t know, they are interviewing everyone. You can probably get an interview too if you fill out an application. My guess is Joe Brady or Mike McCarthy. However, they may just promote the interim guy since (just like New England) they can’t let “their guys” go.

We'll see how it plays out on the field. A lot of folks probably thought the Patriots were crazy to hire some guy that got fired by the damn Browns of all places and Rhule was one of the hot names on the market when we hired him. Hype means poo. It's all about Ws and LS.

Rhule being a hot candidate back then just goes to show how NFL professionals get caught up in hype trains just like everyone else can. Blech.

Rhule was a weird hype train to watch. He hadn't beaten anyone in college to warrant a ride on that train.

It's what I was raising alarms bells about at the time. The guy had never beaten a ranked team and his offenses were always very mediocre. I just didn't get why the guy was suddenly a hot NFL candidate. He'd turned around two floundering college programs. Okay, cool. So maybe he's ready for a big time college job. But NFL? I just didn't see the justification for the sudden hype.

Had to be the meatballs. 

I somehow always pictured the interview with Tepper like this

While McCarthy isn’t a very exciting guy, I think he was the best option for the Bears by far. They needed an experienced offensive HC, used to a somewhat messy situation. There is a lot that needs to get done in Chicago that goes way beyond just good play calling.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
