I think of him as Christian Hackenburg 2.0

Thanks for the perspective, I tend to agree that McCarthy's history with those two played a big role with the Steelers. I've always been curious what NFL teams do/don't do(Jets) in developing their QBs, but I rarely see it discussed.

Interesting article discussing how he's immediately emphasizing offense https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/steelers-mccarthy-installs-14-bucket-qb-system-exposing-19-years-of-tomlin-s-mistakes/ss-AA235fKA?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=6a04b0d396294f279ffe3050289a21ee&cvpid=6a05078f4b77468c86bfbe5d65914f02&ei=24 "Rookie minicamp in Pittsburgh, and the new head coach stood next to his third-round quarterback, breaking down footwork one rep at a time. Not from a suite. Not through a coordinator. Shoulder to shoulder on the field, correcting Drew Allar's mechanics in real time." "His offensive teaching system breaks the passing game into 14 distinct instructional buckets and the running game into 7. Fourteen separate conceptual units for quarterback development." We all agree QB's need to be developed, this is the first instance I've read about a cohesive plan. Anyone able to discuss in more detail? After watching Allar at PSU, I don't think he can process the game fast enough to be anything more than an NFL backup. So, it'll be interesting to see if McCarthy can succeed with him.

Uhhhh. Yeah.

Well, they're kissing and he has his wedding ring on. I'd say there's probably some non-traditional elements to their marriage. Look at Kristi and Bryon Noem. Married over 30 years and she was so "shocked" he was a cross dresser with fetishes he took online. Just about as "shocked" has he was with the Lewandowski relationship.

I'm hoping and thinking Beane is on the clock this and next year. His lack of contract extension may point to it. It's inarguable to me he hasn't brought in enough game-changing defensive talent for all the draft picks over the years.

This is the biggest parallel between the two coaches, their messages got stale.

Now things make sense. It's not a ratio, that's what threw me. It's average touchdowns and average interceptions per game league-wide. Across the years, the avg interceptions per game has progressively and consistently gotten lower over the years. From about 1.7 in the 60s down to 0.7 the last 2 seasons. Avg. touchdowns per game hasn't changed a lot since 1960, though the year-to-year consistency has improved around 1.5.

Is your 1960 data correct? That says the range was 1.8 to 1.4 (when properly expressed to the rest of your years). Perhaps the range of ratios has increased nowadays but I think you need a lot more years to assess the year to year range variability

?? Let's put the 1960 numbers in analogous position compared to the other data: In 1960 the TD/INT ratio was 1.8 to 1.4. Perhaps the range of efficiency has increased over the years, but it's tough to determine if 2020 was an outlier. More years are needed, especially after 2020.

We're not saying he could have gone to any team and been successful. We're saying he would have found success no matter what. He wouldn't have been ruined by a coach. He's too driven and self-motivated.

I watched it more for what is changing from the old scheme in general terms. Creativity, aggression and spacing were all discussed. Helpful for me that's not a nuts and bolts football guy and good to hear directly from an important player.

Yeah, odds are there's much more behind the scenes, especially with Vrable's wife. The whole thing seems impossible to work through given how long it went on, so I can't offer much of an opinion. Hope everyone involved can find healing.

Both are at fault. Given the turnovers and havoc Denver's defense created that first half, regrouping would have been the smarter move in that situation. Plus, Josh has grown up a ton, but given all his mistakes up to that moment, it's no surprise he reverted back to hero ball to try and make up for them. That's something Josh has to live with, but I was shaking my head when I realized Sean had given him the green light in that situation.
