Marrone has a concept but he lacks imagination and flexibility. Yeah, he'll impose structure and discipline but there is absolutely nothing exciting about his coaching style. I don't want to run down the whole list but my gut tells me he's in the bottom half of NFL head coaches (meaning there are at least 16 who are better).
I think Gailey is a better HC than Saint Doug if he has the right DC. He was saddled with mediocre talent and a bad DC (of his own choosing) in Buffalo, and he still managed to make things exciting for a while.
Exactly right. Palmer understands that Josh Allen has perhaps the most impressive physical characteristics of any QB in the league, but he's behind the 8-ball in terms of experience and "big time" coaching. It's all about how quickly (or if) he develops. What keeps me optimistic is feeling pretty confident that Josh is also a really smart and competitive guy who wants to be great and will work at it.
With a two-time SB winning QB throwing to him the Giants went 6-10, 6-10, 11-5, 3-13, and 5-11.
Man, that's a lot of games changed by OBJ. But he DID have 4 catches for 28 yards in his one playoff game!
Oh, and that MNF highlight!
Tre White? Matt Milano? Dion Dawkins? I don't think selecting three starters in his first draft helps your argument.
As for McD on game day I'd say that's a work in progress, but I would hope you're not presuming a HC can't improve in this area.
Agreed, and I'll happily laugh along with our ineptitude. This year's Bills one should be interesting, considering Magary is a Vikes fan and the Bills destroyed them. I'm sure we'll be subjected to a lot of warranted Peterman jokes, and I expect Kelvin Benjamin to make an appearance as well.
