I remember when Aaron was making them get Cobb. If they didn't they would be in a bigger problem then they are now at WR. If Funchess (even if he had stayed healthy) was their idea of getting Rodgers help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit him, work on his mechanics and his understanding of the game, and do it for the whole year if you think that's what will work best for him long-term. Follow the Mahomes plan. Maybe. But Nagy is on the hot seat and probably won't survive a 7-9 Andy Dalton season. The only way he survives is if Fields plays and shows promise and the team wins a reasonable number of games...

I don't know if he's on the "hot seat" or not, but yeah you can bet when (not if) Dalton struggles, he will for sure Call Fields in. If true about hot seat, then would also do it just to hopefully save his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they were practically forced to get Cobb Funchess was probably fighting for WR3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownership might give him a reprieve if he rolls with a rookie QB and the team struggles a bit; it's a built-in excuse for a head coach. No such leniency if Dalton plays most of the year and they suck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they were smart, the folks above Nagy would rein him in on that logic and tell him to value the long-term over the short-term here. From how it looks, they may already have started that. You're very right that there may well be pressure on Nagy. There's nearly always pressure on people to make stupid decisions based on short-term logic. Many decisions are made based on that kind of awful process. But the fact that there was a lot of pressure doesn't make the bad decisions any better. 20 hours ago, Sheneneh Jenkins said: Yeah would be the best thing for sure. Especially if that OL continues to play like they did against mostly Bills back ups. Yup. Good point about their OL. I still think David Carr could have been a really good QB if he hadn't been systematically mishandled and forced into a case of PTSD.
