Coleman's best position could very well be as a slot guy as well. He just doesn't have the separation ability to consistently win on the outside.

Does this same guy have the routes run % for Addonai Mitchell, Jalen McMilan or Ricky Pearsall (He played inside but also on the outside when they lost Aiyuk) as those would be better comparisons imo.

I was only a few months old in the 84 season But yeah the 2001 season was my first experience of a truly awful one. But even then they beat the Jets 2nd to last game of the year when they were trying to clinch a playoff spot. Still pretty funny

Purdy is better than Tua are creating off script I agree. But I don't think he is better from the pocket when his first read isn't there. I think he hesitates and ends up late on throws if he is going through progressions pretty consistently. If he moves in those situations he normally has better outcomes than when he stays in and tries to get to his 2nd or 3rd guy.

I’m not saying that talent doesn’t matter more than coaching. What I’m saying is that these teams HAD largely the same talent. This is obvious. Philly had the same DL. They had guys like Nakobe Dean and Nolan Smitn who were high draft picks that were unplayable prior to 2024. Virtually every Philly defender had a better 2024 than 2023. But it wasn’t because of coaching. Okay, sure.

The democrat party shoulders the entire blame here. Absent an historically horrific debate, his supporters would have dutifully lined up behind him and cast a vote for him the first time. In fact, if he stayed in the race, the likely outcome was the same. Maybe the solution is to just accept that we’re often deceived, and not just feign outrage when our preferred candidate loses.

I agree, I don't think he's just a slot, but regardless, even if he is, I'd rather have two high level slot receivers and ask the coaches to figure out how to get them on the field at the same time rather than have one high level slot guy plus an X receiver that I'm not sure can make it on the outside in the NFL.

This is interesting as I hear a lot of people say Purdy is a west coast Tua. I personally just don't see a ton of similiarities in their game If it's because they run a similar west coast offensive scheme that is based off of timing and accuracy? Ok sure But Purdy is WAY more off script than Tua- And has improved as a scrambler a lot over the last couple years. Tua= Better at accuracy and timing Purdy= Better at scrambling/going off script.

I could see why Biden thought George Clooney was Clark Gable.

I actually think Coleman's ceiling is high but not easily attainable. He has a lot of traits that remind me of Davante Adams. Adams has arguably ended up becoming the best WR to come out of that gifted 2014 class. Mike Evans is great and unbelievably consistent but he was never the best WR in the game like Adams was for several years in his prime. Once Adams caught up with Evans in 2017 he has been the better player and their career numbers are pretty close despite Adams struggling early due to lacking any one incredible natural trait to allow him to win matchups immediately as a pro. Coleman has that basketball level athleticism with size that you don't see a lot of in the NFL. That should allow him to develop the nuanced aspects of the position. He will have to work like Adams did(and prove as smart as Adams) to get that polished and that's probably not "likely" but he seems to be a good character guy so it's possible. Nothing I saw in 2024 has changed my mind despite his struggles. I was actually a bit surprised by the success he did have.

I'm young. I don't remember the 1890s 😂 EDIT: Of course production matters be all and end all.

Slay has been an elite corner the majority of his career. I think much more likely 2023 was just a down year for an ageing player than Fangio being responsible for the rebound. As for Baun - certainly possible. I'm sure Fangio was involved the in the evalution to fit him into a different scheme than he had played in. I am not saying Fangio had no impact. But Talent > Coaching always and forever in the NFL. Coaching matters. Talent matters more.

I tend to agree with you philosophically. But on the flip side, didn't Andre Reed play mostly out of the slot? Production is production, regardless of where it comes from, right?

I suppose Darius Slay having a resurgent year and Zach Baun going from a mid tier FA to an All-Pro had nothing to do with coaching either.

To be fair, losing is losing... those years after the early 2000s were absolutely terrible and the litany of QBs we had to endure. Two seasons of 2-14 pales in comparison with the worst non-playoff streak in Bills history. Every decade the Bills made the playoffs except for the 2000s. Even in the 1970s when the Bills were abysmal after Kemp retired they STILL made the playoffs and had Fergy.

What are the safeguards to prevent an empty vessel POTUS again? Oh I don't know maybe holding those who conspired to foist an empty vessel POTUS upon the American people friggin accountable for what they did would be a good start? Nah ..let's just move on!

Look at you reduced to Taylor Swift tweets. How sad. Go outside or something.

Not doubting your post, but where did you see he put on more muscle and looks quicker this offseason?

Yea you are way off base. The Chiefs defense did not suck under Sutton. Not at all. They were top 10 in points 4 times in 6 years and top 10 in yards twice. They were good in the playoffs too. There was basically no change under Spags until they threw multiple day 1 and 2 picks at the unit. That is when the D majorly improved. Spags history is he is very good with good talent. But when he had lesser talent he does not get that talent to over perform. As for Philly - yes they sucked in 2023. No question. And Fangio made a big difference. No question there either. But getting a rebound year from Darius Slay, adding Zach Baun and three secondary guys in Mitchell, DeJean and Gardner-Johnson was the biggest change. That talent infusion was the #1 reason for the improvement.
