Fun topic Jack!!
HC - Marrone (he's an a-hole but was organized and his teams were prepared. Marrone was an easy choice for me here).
OC - Chan (he's proven to be a good OC. He's scored points with some bad talen. This was another easy choice).
DC - Fewell (this is much tougher. I don't love any of the candidates. Greggo has had some success as has Rex. His defense is totally antiquated though. Fewell gets the nod).
ST - Lynn (he has some ST experience. I don't know what other way to go).
With you 100%. Marrone and Gailey were easy choices. And as I had fun elongating their full names to Douglas and Chandler I went for the DC that was easiest to do that with (although I think Gregg is actually his full name... psshht....) In reality Fewell might be the best of a bad bunch there. The best Ds we have fielded came under Mularkey and Marrone.... two offensive coaches. Odd.

I think DW is done as GM, I think the consensus around the league is the he is a good scout but over his head as a GM. Classic example of the Peter Principle.
His ONLY shot of getting a GM job again (if he even wants to stay in scouting, he could go back to Wall Street and earn a fortune) is to take a VP for Pro-Personnel type job or an Assistant GM job in a place with an established veteran GM and make himself the go to "in house" candidate when that GM retires. Or go into a team, and KC may become that team, where they are not going to have a traditional GM but where the HC will be an omnipotent all powerful decision maker and Whaley could just scout.
-
i think it would be perfect for him. He can be a talent evaluator but not make the final decisions (Reid would obviously do that) so it would play to his strengths
True and Andy is comfortable in front of the mic so Doug wouldn't have to do that.

Rodgers receivers were spooked that day because Gilmore hit them early. We pressed, we got physical and we hit them in the mouth. Up front and on the backend. People talk about the Nelson drop but if Green Bay won that day it would have been totally undeserved. The Bills physically battered them. We were set up at that point to beat finesse teams... witness a similar destruction of Luck and the Colts on Rex's first day in situ. The crazy thing is under the Bully Builder we went from that to a bunch of kitty cats who allowed three 200 yard rushers in a single season (I think it was 4 times in history before 2016).

I mean, that is all you got out of my post. SMH
I got the same as I got out of your last 100 posts. Trolling of anyone who dares to suggest Tyrod is not the long term answer at Quarterback by misrepresenting their opinion or avoiding engagement with their argument.
-
I feel that he also stretches the pocket way too far, and never climbs up into it. Contrast the size of his pocket to that of someone like Matt Ryan, who will climb up into it to extend the play. TT's pocket is three times the size. How much harder is it to pass-protect when the O-line has to have eyes in the back of their heads to know where the QB is?
Indeed. They are asked to protect too big of a space for too long.
-
If it wasn't an agreed upon move I find it incredibly hard to picture a GM making a blockbuster trade for a QB against Reid's wishes. I find it much more likely that Reid would carry the juice to get the GM to make the move despite reservations. Still most likely though was they just agreed.
Yep. Andy Reid gets what Andy Reid wants. To believe otherwise is to ignore his history. Mahomes was a Reid pick, I don't have a single doubt about it.
-
The Raiders were 10-22 the first two seasons under Carr. He's very good now, but our QB is 15-14 in his first two seasons and that's deplorable to some. Carr's average yards per game is 238 through three seasons. like I said, he's very good and I wished we had him, but TT is not terrible as you and some others think. In Carr's first two seasons, he had 53 total TDs and 25 INTs. TT in two seasons has 47 total TDs and we know he rarely turns the ball over.
C.Biscuit has NEVER claimed TT is terrible. You are trolling at this point.

Mike Ballard left to become GM of the Colts.
Chris Ballard.
I think that it's possible that the Chiefs win about 6 or 7 games. They have made some baffling decisions this offseason. The margin for error in the NFL is small and if they ball doesn't continue to bounce their way we may reap the rewards.
Could see that. Not sure I see any worse than that tho.
-
Or Dorsey was behind it and Andy doesn't like what he sees from mini camps
Hmm. Possible. Knowing Reid though I suspect mine is more likely. Underminging GMs on power grabs is part of his MO. He never wanted a GM in KC but they insisted after the mess of the final few years of his omnipotence in Philly. They got him a guy he picked to work with... I suspect Andy Reid pushed for Mahomes maybe even against Dorsey's advice and this was an inevitable conclusion.
-
But far too often the guy was running for his life immediately after the snap.
I can't disagree that happened some (and it came mainly from the right side of the line) but I think it was a tiny percentage of time comapred to the number of times Tyrod had 3 seconds to throw it and didn't and then got hit.
-
I think this probably tells us Reid was behind the trade. The truth in Philly seemed to be the more powerful Andy got the less successful the team was. Chaos ensuing and a 2-14 season would be nice. I don't see it though.

We were still 8th in sacks last year. If healthy I think we could lead the league in sacks. Hughes in double digits, Marcell too, few from Kyle and Shaq 8 or so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
We were.... but usually from feasting on poor teams. We will have to sack better offenses to be near leading the league in 2017.

Todd Downing has been Derek Carr's QB coach and OC since 2015. He was EJ Manuel's QB coach in 2014. I don't think QB coaching matters as much as people think it does.
No he hasn't. He was promoted to OC this offseason.
-
HC: Douglas Marrone
OC: Chandler Gailey
DC: Gregory Williams

Arguably the worst DW move of significance.
Agreed.

Back to 4-3 should push that defense back into the top ten category and thus more wins Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't see us being a top 10 D this year. Improved from where Rex had us sure... but still a couple of spots outside the top 10. I think top 10 defenses usually have one unit that is really, really good. Under Schwartz it was our D-line. With the game wrecking force that was 2014 Mario gone and Kyle 3 years older, plus Shaq a ? and Dareus (for different reasons) a ? I'm not sure I can comfortably put our line in that company any more.
-
Why? EJ was also picked in the first.
Exactly. If you take a QB in the 1st and then the next year take another in the 1st it IS pulling the plug on the first guy you took. If you take one in the 3rd then you can say it is about giving yourself an option, if you take one in the 1st you have given up on the first guy.
-
Taking Carr wouldn't have "pulled the plug" on EJ. It would have given us another prospect to develop when EJ faltered, like he did.
that works if we'd taken him in the 3rd round. It isn't the reality if you pick him in the 1st.
-
Good work Hokie. This reiterates that in the Rex Ryan years we won or lost on the basis of our defensive performance. It is why people still want more out of our offense because it isn't just about points scored.... it is about stepping up and winning us games. Our offense has yet to prove it can do that. The defense has done it... but has also majorly let us down on other occasions.
-
The QB gets hit because he hangs on to the ball for 5 seconds. The line was excellent at run blocking and average in pass blocking. They played well despite injuries
This. The reason Tyrod got hit so much is because he doesn't let go of the damn football. He had the most time in the pocket on downfield passes.... eventually you have to throw it.
-
Was it really reasonable to expect the GM to take a QB in the 1st round 1 year after taking a QB in the 1st round? Of course not, I can't think of an example since the Cowboys (I think) where a team took QB in the 1st in consecutive years. We can fault Whaley for EJ but it's not reasonable to fault him for not getting another guy the next year.
And EJ's rookie year and Carr's rookie years were not that different by numbers and the only difference you saw on tape was there was a definite trend up the final 3 or 4 games of Carr's rookie year. If you wanted him to take Carr you'd have wanted him to take another in 2015 and maybe another in 2016 and so on..... you have to allow Quarterbacks to develop... EJ didn't, Carr did... but if you pull the plug on every QB at the end of his rookie year you have a much bigger risk of missing a good one in my opinion.
As for Whaley destroying this team? He won more games than his predecessors and the three seasons following full control Whaley offseasons the overall record was .500. Good enough? No. A team "destroyed"? Behave.

I wouldn't grumble with any of those 3. Think they could all go on to be elite... but MM is my guy. Love his attitude, love his game, love his professionalism. Ticks every box.

I'd do a anything I can within reason to get out from under the Clay contract, even though we have almost nothing behind him.

Gotta have a QB who is cerebral and smart enough to run it. Nobody will ever do it as well as Tom Brady.
