I was kind of thinking this. He knows Reich's system already....

Yeah the Bevell thing is weird but it’s nice to have his experience for our younger offensive staff. I’m just glad DC isn’t calling plays because that was a lot for him at this point in his career and he wasn’t that good at it honestly.

I kind of like it because play calling seemed to be a weakness of his. Having a vet play caller in Bevell to help Idzik learn could be good. Plus I think Canales is too green of a HC to try to handle play calling too.

Next up Caldwell!

Making the playoffs as quickly as he did after what he inherited was impressive. He inherited the worst team in the league with a depleted roster, missing draft picks, and a QB who just had a historically bad rookie season. I mean it's hard to get much worse. I wish he would hire someone to call plays because I think that's his weakness, but maybe he can get better there as he gets experience.

Darnold, Mahomes (3), Stafford, Manning, Flacco, Eli, Rodgers, and Big Ben were all 1st round QBs some had to get traded to better teams and Brady makes up 7 of the other wins. So I'm seeing Hurts, Foles, Russ, Brees, and Brad Johnson as the only non-Brady QBs that weren't originally taken in the 1st round. Foles and Johnson were absolutely carried by their loaded teams. So the odds of drafting a Super Bowl winning QB not in the first round are really low and two of the recent 5 not named Brady are QBs you wouldn't want to really build around. Hell Foles is probably available right now. If you are looking for any sort of odds from this data is might be to sign a former 1st round QB that struggled on a bad team or keep drafting 6th round QBs and hope they magically turn into Brady.... There is also the build and elite defense and plug whoever you want back there with Hurts, Foles, Russ, and possibly Darnold.

The bright side is that if our offense shits the bed it is looking to be a nice QB class next year. Kind of a good year to have a tough schedule as weird as that sounds.

Allar in the 4th would be a steal

Lloyd and a solid edge would do absolute wonders for our defense.

LT makes a lot of sense. Even is Icky can return to form after a year with looks like it's 50/50 Moton won't have much longer. I wonder if we look at Chubb for Edge. He was just released and played for Evero in Denver.

Inherited a 2 win team missing draft capital from a dumb trade. Turned them into a 5 win team followed by an 8 win team and made the playoffs. I think Canales should be fine as we overachieved last year. If we have a bad year this year I think he goes into next season on the hot seat, but to me his 3rd year should be safe unless it just completely derails. It gets complicated we you look at replacing Bryce next year. Do you let a coach on the hot seat make that call? I also think you should let him have a chance with a QB he picks as well so yeah it's a little complicated...

David Moore!

https://www.espn.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/33304/how-joe-burrows-improved-velocity-could-have-bengals-thinking-playoffs There is the article talking about him increasing his velocity. Apparently he was the 3rd worst starting QB at deep passes his rookie year. I'd also argue that drafting Chase greatly helped his deep ball (again I think it's more of a WR stat). He did appear to increase the speed in which the ball was coming out by tweaking a few things. You'd think OSU or LSU would have tried this with him in college...

I'm guessing it's just their rating on throws that deep. So volume wouldn't really matter. This is why it's a flawed stat, but also any mistake is going to weigh heavier on lower volume.

He even changed his motion after his rookie year to add more velocity in his throws. Seems to be a pretty smart QB who is going to figure things out.
