Lafleur was the OC for the Jets last year as well. This is his second year as OC, as it is Saleh's second year as HC and he brought him with him from SF. Regardless, Shane Steichen remains at the top of my list. Dude has coached 3 completely different kinds of QBs (rivers, Herbert, Hurts) into pro bowl caliber players. Give him a rookie and let him mold the kid.

If Fitt wants to bring in Dan Quinn then I want him gone.

Yeah but they fired him sooner and got a way better coach out of it. Looks like we're going to end up with Dan Quinn this offseason.

Yes Tepper is still the owner, and that isn't ideal, but the fact that Rhule was still HC and doing so poorly left the possibility that he would STILL be around long enough to fug things up for next season. Now that he's gone, we don't have to worry about him being around to ruin things for the future. We can reset with a new HC and a high draft pick and look forward to the 2023 season. The draft will be exciting again and we have a shot at a top tier QB prospect. There are plenty of qualified HC candidates out there currently, the possibility of us choosing someone this bad again isn't likely since Rhule was historically terrible and we can really only go up from here. It's a brand new day in Pantherland.

DBO sign bullshit Making the Team run laps for scoring in practice.

It took Jay-Z 7 years to become an overnight sensation It's working 1000% you just can't see it. Slater can't be an OT for us because he has short arms.

Dude has the resume and experience to turn this dreadful offensive unit around. 2016-2019 - Chargers QB Coach - Rivers had twilight of his career resurgence and made 3 consecutive pro-bowls. Interim OC Chargers 2019 - Final 8 games of the season lead the chargers Offense to the #5 ranked offense in terms of total yards and 7th in 3rd down conversions. 2020 - Chargers OC - Lead Justin Herbert to the best rookie QB season of all time. 2021-Present - Eagles OC - Leading one of the best offenses in the league with a 2nd round project QB now playing at a pro bowl level in Jalen Hurts. He has shown the ability to coach ANY type of QB that is thrown at him and adjust his offense accordingly. Philip Rivers - Statue Herbert - Bazooka armed slightly mobile Hurts - Dual threat QB WHOEVER we would draft at QB this draft, Steichen could get the best out of him. He should be our top target.

Send Robbie to GB or KC and get some pick for him.

We still have the worst record since the halfway mark last year (week 9) We have won 2 games in that timeframe. It's not any better, it just takes away more losses

Historically one of the worst head coaches in NFL history

We fired him

I know absolutely nothing about coaching football. I know data, statistics, and measuring trends. Something about Baker's Delivery just looked off to me and I was able to go back and watch enough plays and slow it down on youtube to notice the lift every time he throws downfield. One thing I will say, he doesn't seem to do the lift on shorter passes, aka screens/passes near the LOS. Ball comes out quick and his hands separate near his chest where he drops back. My theory is that he is trying to get everything he has into his throws downfield which is why he does the load up on deeper passes.

Jimmy is a better QB but more fragile. But he's like, waaaaaaaaaay hotter.

Thank you, I was looking for someone to follow this up with this kind of info of frames/second. And I agree, the defenses we face are definitely reading our plays better than we are calling them and that is probably the biggest contributing factor to the tipped passes. Since the defenders know where the ball is going, they will probably have a better understanding of what throwing lanes to occupy before Baker throws. I do believe that Baker's windup is contributing to this though. These are world class athletes and it is not beyond the scope of possibility that they could be reacting to the visual cue of Baker moving his hands up before he throws. I know MLB players have 125-225 milliseconds (source provided) from 60 feet away to decide if a pitch is a ball/strike, and whether or not to swing a bat around their body to try to make contact with a tiny ball, so if they can react in that small a window, then I believe these NFL defenders juiced to the gills can at least start raising their arms the moment they see Baker raising his. Add into the equation that Baker is short, has a low trajectory when he throws, and the defenders KNOW what plays we are calling and where the ball is going, and it's a recipe for tip city. Either way, his throwing motion is completely inefficient and needs to be fixed.

As soon as the ball goes up to his collar, you know he's about to throw the thing. I'm just some jackass on the internet who works in data and I noticed this. Imagine who in the NFL with their trained eyes has also seen this?

This really is egregious. Identifies target at the end of his drop: Right before hand separation 6 frames later: Again, ball drops down from his collar as he separates his hands.

Looks like it. This is from 2020 when he had his best statistical year: Identifies target: 6 frames later he begins separating his hands to start his throwing motion: That particular throw his hands start to come back down in the next frame as he begins his throwing motion, so his hands actually go from sternum, to collar, to back down about 2 inches before he starts to separate his hands.

This thread lead me to create my own. I break it down here:

Everyone has their own theories about why Baker has so many batted balls. Some say it's the O-lines fault, some say it's Baker's height, but I have my own theory: Baker telegraphs the hell out of all of his throws. Looking back at the game highlights from Sunday on Youtube, I wanted to count how many frames it took for Baker to throw the ball from hand separation to release. To my surprise, it takes him just as long on average as Kyler Murray to separate his hands and throw the ball (11/12 frames). But for some reason his delivery still looks like it takes longer. That's when I noticed something else. In Baker's Dropback, he holds the ball right around sternum height covering the #6 on his jersey. However, when Baker Identifies who to throw the ball to, he raises his hands up about 6 inches so that it covers the collar of his jersey. This is where he loads up to throw and the hand separation begins. From here it takes the same amount of frames to release the ball as Murray. However, from the time it takes him to get his hands from drop back mode to "load up" mode, it takes anywhere between 17 and 20 frames. Examples: Drop back - Hands are at number height: Decision to throw right before hand separation - Hands are near the collar: The above throw bumped his frames to throw from 11 up to 16. This seems to be a part of his muscle memory. On this play, The TE cross is the first option and you can tell that is where he was going with the ball even before he finishes his drop back. In the process of dropping back, right before his back foot hits the ground, he starts to load up to get the ball out at the top of his drop back: Drop Back: Decision to throw at the top of his dropback: Jumps frames to throw from 12 up to 18. Week 3 Examples: Baker hits the top of his dropback on this shotgun pass, Ball is at number height: Baker Identifies the target and separates his hands: Time from hand separation to release - 12 frames. Add the load up, jumps up to 18 frames Another one: Identifies who he throws it to: Right before hand separation: 11 frames from separate hands to thrown, up to 17 frames from load up to thrown "But Ricky" you say to yourself, "All QBs have to load up to throw". And to that I say, yes, however they don't raise the ball 6 inches to do so. Example from two completely different teams because it was suggested by youtube: Week 3 Pats v. Ravens Mac Jones identifies his target, ball is at number height: Jones loads up aka the Frame before hand separation: Ball goes up maybe two inches and takes 2 frames to get there. His release averages around 10/11 frames btw. Another Jones: Frame where Jones identifies his target: Right before hand separation: It takes 1 frame and his hands barely move. From the same game: Lamar Jackson - Averages around 11 frames from hand separation to release, also has a funky side arm delivery: Frame where he identifies his receiver: Very next frame right before he begins hand separation. His hands don't move from that plane before he throws. His load up is that plane: Another one: Lamar's hands don't fuging move before he separates his hands: Right before hand separation: Jackson has absolutely ZERO telegraph to his delivery. TL;DR Baker Mayfield telegraphs his throws by raising the ball up roughly 6 inches before he begins his throwing motion. This increases his time to throw from the average 11/12 frames up to 17/18 frames, slowing his delivery down up to 40% on any given play. This would allow defenders ample time to read Baker, jump up, and bat a ball down.

Baker takes an eternity to throw the ball. His windup is ridiculous and telegraphs when he's about to throw, this allows D-Linemen to reach the peak of their jump right as the ball gets to them after Baker begins to throw. Dude has an MLB windup and should have been a pitcher.

28-3 happened. The city as a whole still hasn't recovered.

I don't want it to happen so it probably will.

Dude looked at the oncoming media shitstorm and said: Then took his money and had a sad like:

JR wasn't forced out, he willingly sold the team to "protect the shield". He fell on his own sword. No one made him do it.
