We need an OFFENSIVE minded coach

No need to look further than the current winners and losers of the las few years. That whole strong defense good running game crap is going way out of style. The goal of every game is to score more points than the other team, but with this coach its been nothing but lets go up by 3 and hope they dont score. Im tired of that crap, unless you have a superstar studded defense, that is not the way to go. We are 0 & 4 because of this idea that we win games with defense. YEAH you used to win, but only if your d is the s hit and you have a better qb than a practice squad caliber scrub and a rookie handing off to 10 in the box.

After a brief look I can't find anyone I'd really want currently in the NFL that would be "offensively minded." Except maybe Tom Moore (OC Colts) but good luck getting him away from Indy.

That leaves Gruden or Billick and really who wants either of them or expects them to come back from broadcasting?

I'm not up on college coaches so maybe there is someone there but we all know how that transition can go.

Are you kidding me you would call the patriots, colts, saints, packers ......run first teams?

Colts: mentioned Tom Moore as someone I would take.

Pats: No OC

Saints and Packers: Perhaps a good possibility but likely would result in a drastic personnel shift in our offense that may not go over well with the fanbase.

Teams with first round superbowl winning quarterbacks

If you think the Steelers and Giants won with offense first mentalities you are clueless. Granted, today you need to have a franchise QB to win a Super Bowl, but just as many defense minded have won v. offense minded as of recent.

Your chances of being consistant, and getting to the playoffs year in and year out are much better if you have a blue chip QB.

Not saying that you have to have a "franchise" QB to win the SB, just saying that your odds of winning one over a 10 year span are greatly improved if you have one.

Colts, Pats, Steelers (I am iffy on this one), Chargers, etc. seem to make the playoffs every year for the most part, it has everything to do with QB play, and not as much what type of coach is running the show.

I am not disagreeing with you, but I do not agree with the original poster that you have to have an Offense oriented team to win today. The Steelers has always been the team that the Panthers "wanted" to be like. There hasn't been a more consistent team in the NFL and they are Defense oriented.

All I am saying is the NFL goes through trends. Now, the trend is pass heavy. Seems like people just remember the Saints and Colts and forget how the Steelers and Giants won.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
