What a real offensive guru looks like

everyone needs to legit just take a deep breath.  This preseason does feel a bit different, we know our O-line is better than what we showed, We saw it, open the run, open the game and we're cookin.  Besides, as others have said, Brad Idzik is calling plays preseason, its allowing him to learn as a playcaller as much as anything but Canales will call the plays during the season.  Lets get to week one before we chicken little the fug out of legitimately EVERYTHING.

— 38 points
— 528 total yards
— 31 first downs
— 9-for-16 on third down

Dude, what would Canales look like with Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, DJ Moore, Egbuka (or the other OSU receiver), Luther Burden, Loveland, their offensive line to include Thuney, etc.

what should have been telling to us, as fans, is when Ben Johnson turned the Carolina job down. If Bryce was such a progeny, he would have jumped at the opportunity to come here like he did to go to Chicago.

I have long liked that Bears backup QB, Bagent.  

Why we don't have something legit in the works just in case remains malpractice. 

Can we have him in place as the starter? Or trade for Sanders? I think Sanders has a lot of potential if he can sit for a year, and with his work ethic, a year in an NFL building is all I think he will need.

Fair to say Idzik won't be getting much regular season chances at it again lol.  

yeah, but Canales is literally listening to the whole thing going down and greenlighting it.  I mean, if Canales thought a better approach was needed, that's sort of his job.

Personnel isn’t the issue, I will let you guess why else he may have turned down the job? What has been the one constant since 2018?

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
