GM and Coach Question...

So comparing the Fox era and Rivera era, we notice a totally different approach to player personel. Did Hurney just sign, and also retain, the players Fox wanted? With the recent events of this offseason, including the draft and free agency, I can't help but to think that was the case. So the players that are on the team can be credited to the coach, but the contracts are all on Hurney. Correct?

Believe they go by the coaches philosophy and recomendation. When it comes to drafting I think it is more of the scouts. Free agents is more of the Coach. Hurney just let them do there jobs.

I dunno. I think JR Being down with the heart transplant and his two boys in charge set us back. JR had a plan and that was to let the lame duck live out the last year of his contract, dump the crappy salaries while losing to get a high draft pick. ALL because of the upcoming CBA that was going to be a nightmare.

Several of us kept saying the man is not nearly as dumb as many think, he has a plan and now look! If Scam can be even a decent QB, we have went to the superbowl and damn near won it with a decent QB. If Chud and Rivera can show him Mike Vick and say 'Mike didn't get good till he stayed in the pocket mostly and learned to read defenses and throw the ball' then we will be in good shape.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It’s not new. That particular claim has largely disappeared because it has become untenable, but a few games into his rookie year when the playbook/gameplan/personnel/everything was terrible there was endless claims, posts, even threads made that Bryce Young was physically incapable of throwing the ball 20 yards downfield in the NFL. It was also argued that physically throwing the ball 20 yards in the NFL was somehow different than college. Once he threw the ball 20 yards, the goal posts moved to 30 yards, etc. I’m not going to use the search function for you, the point wasn’t as much that one claim as it was that that was one claim out of many that has made it very difficult to have a reasonable discussion here.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, I can get a ball downfield 40 yards.  There would be a couple massive issues with me doing it.   My ball placement would be off the charts bad.  Second, for me to get it 40 yards I'm gonna have to moon it......which would give DBs the opportunity to make plays on balls that wouldn't exist if a better QB were throwing it.  Which is all an exaggerated explanation of the Bryce issue.  To many play the literal game w/ Bryce when it comes defending him.  Every NFL QB likely can loft one up around 50 yards.  Every QB in the NFL can't get a ball 30 yards downfield in the same windows.  Or the same ball placement.  That's the Bryce issue.    But I also think mixed into that is just his QB DNA.    Take a young Brees, it was in his DNA to stress defenses and takes shots.  He would flat out be Delhomme-ish at times.  Which is coverage and assignment altering.  Brees would throw balls into triple coverage 40 yards downfield.  Is that smart? Sometimes it is.  Not because the play gets made but you force the secondary to play honest.
