Is it McDermott or Brady?

I honestly can't say what coach I think is more at fault. I don't like what they have tried to turned Josh into (game manager).  It's  like a square peg in a round hole.  If they just want a game manager, they can pay a worse QB less money and use the savings to build a better team like the 49ers before overpaying Purdy.

 

Also, I think Allen is more likely to get injured taking hits in the pocket than he is scrambling for a first down.  They have coached the running out of him, but not given him open targets (be it lack of wr talent or poor play designs) so he holds the ball forever, taking big hits. 

 

Sometimes he doesn't notice "what the defense gives him" but that goes back to the square peg/round hole comment.  The coaching staff wants to use their sports car only for driving 5 under the speed limit to the grocery store.

 

I also can't say if the poor drafting is all on Bean, his scouts, McDermott demanding process guys, or some combination of all the above.  You can't draft that poorly for that many years and stay relevant.  They also can't get excited that a player they drafted isn't an outright bust and overpay them for getting over that low bar.
