We haven’t had a good Allen ball washing thread in a while. I have high hopes for this one.

Basically, if you’re young and have coached offense before, you are going to be a HC in the NFL.

This is as much of an offseason thread as one could get

I’m sure the league would never allow a player to use their brand to make a money

Jackson isn’t a high upside QB and won’t get drafted.

That’s not even the Steelers twitter page. There is nothing to see here.

Looks like Bowles will be joining him

He’s not an NFL QB.

I’m sure that’s the plan

McD must be a member here or he has eyes and sees what’s happening on the field. Either one I guess.

He sounds salty as hell

What a terrible assumption to make

Wouldn’t be a bad signing if the price was right

I wouldn’t be worried to play a team coached by Gase.

I am cautiously optimistic on the verge of downright giddiness depending on how our offseason goes. I didn’t want Allen at all but he’s been far better than I anticipated.

Let us rejoice!!

I don’t view it as a bad bet. I wouldn’t expect to have Brown playing at an elite level for the next 5 years but if we can get him at his current production for the next 2 or 3 then I think it would be a tremendous help to Allen’s development. For that I’ll gladly take that chance.

He’s literally shown no signs of slowing down and is still an elite player and arguably the best at his position.

You’re paying for current production though. 1300 yards and 15 TDs this year

The top of the draft is stacked with DL talent. We have major needs on the DL. This shouldn’t be a problem to anyone. Yeah, I know Allen needs a lot more help but you can’t/shouldn’t force picks like that. The goal should be to stock your shelves with young talent.

You can’t just poach whom ever you want.

Dennison wasn’t fired until January 12th so that gives you an idea of how long this might take.

The NFL is a revolving door when it comes to coaches. Guys get fired and hired somewhere else on a yearly basis. Would you you be happy if we kept Crossman simply because he’s gotten multiple chances at being a ST coordinator and is highly respected? I’m guessing you wouldn’t (or at least you shouldn’t) because the unit that he’s coaching has been trash.

He probably has to watch the tape before he makes a decision

Being an assistant under Brady and BB isn’t a convincing argument. And getting multiple looks as an OC is only impressive if you actually produce good offenses. Regardless of who he’s had to work with, his offenses have been some of the worst in the league. That’s the reality of his resume. Maybe he’ll do better with more talent. I’m hoping we find that out. Until he has more to work with I’ll try and keep an open mind about him. I think you're grossly overhyping his qualifications.
