Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

No, we should just deal with his inconsistencies in hopes that he improves at play calling and being a head coach during the game. It'll be worth the payoff if it works out, since then losing an OC wouldn't be so penalizing for us. 

I think I agree. If they can give Bryce that long why not the coach that has to deal with him as well? 
 

I am not convinced the playbook is totally open. We get a play caller in that has to deal with that what it look like?  
 

Will he limit his menu to Bryce friendly plays or just call his usual game? Will he be able to be fluid and call a game the way he likes, while being limited?  That can’t be easy to adapt to.

Tomlin probably wants another head coaching job, but I'd love to see Dave bring in somebody that can help him with game management. I don't mind him calling plays, and I don't mind him managing the game, but I think at times, it did get to be too much for him. If you could bring in somebody like a Mike Tomlin, compensate him well, and just let him make or help with some of those game management decisions, I think it frees Dave up to concentrate on play calling a little more.

I don't mind if he stays the play caller but I wish he bring in an experienced play caller prefably a former coach to help with game playing and game days because Idzik isn't it. I thought that would be Caldwell but I honestly have no idea what he does, shows he's still employed with us but I never see him

You also have to be aware of your faults and Dave seems very slow to recognize and fix those. Hence why we are so often ill prepared and make poor in game adjustments.

    • 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.
