I'm not so sure about that. They keep talking on the morning show (Max/Key/JWill, I think) about Dallas possibly dumping McCarthy to promote Kellen Moore.

Ego. These guys have gargantuan egos. They believe they are so good they can fix any situation.

I thought I remembered seeing him up there, but I could be mistaken. I know I've seen Daboll in the booth.

Many of those OCs are head coaches : McVay, Kingsbury, Lefleur, Sean Payton. But there are several good teams whose OC is in the booth. Buffalo and Dallas OCs call the game from the booth for example.

How much of Tampa's success is Leftwich's game plan and play calls and how much is just having Tom Brady as your QB.

CMC alone is better than anyone on Denver, but he hasn't been available. Outside of CMC, its very debatable. Jeudy is at best a push compared to DJ. Sutton is better Robby. Patrick is much better than Marshall at this point. Fant is much better than Tremble/Thomas. Gordon / Williams is better than Chubba / Abdullah / Freeman.

It's not just the cap to retain our FAs. You have to convince guys like Reddick and Gilmore to come back. Reddick started his press conference yesterday with "don't ask me about the offense". We have to give those guys a reason to believe next year will be better or they will sign elsewhere for the same money we offer.

Better sign a strong backup if you trade for Watson. I don't see any way he avoids a six game suspension at some point in 2022.

We thought we were importing the New Orleans offense with Joe Brady. An offensive system that has always given us fits. What even New Orleans is learning this year is that system doesn't look so unstoppable without their hall of fame level quarterback.

It's a little early to make that call.

Aside from the lack of preseason snaps, there were signs even in the first three weeks that were dismissed because we were winning. The Jets game was more competitive than it should have been with Sam coming a hairs breath from throwing two interceptions. The absolute WTF interception/pitch in the Saints game that set up their only score. A much closer than it should have been game with the Texans with two Sam Darnold fumbles that Paradis jumped on.

I'm not in favor in getting rid of the current regime. The premise of the thread was Rhule leaving of his own volition for the Penn State job. If that were to happen Pederson would be high on my list of candidates.

The bar is set incredibly low with our current state.

Wish him well, and get on the phone to Doug Pederson's agent.

Some of the similarities between the two classes, what's different, and why evaluating this group of QBs is so difficult. 2013 was one of the worst years in recent memory with EJ Manuel, Geno Smith and Mike Glennon as its top draft picks. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/2022-nfl-draft-qb-class-breakdown-2013

gameplan: run, run, run, punt, repeat?

Fans didn't come back until THIS season. That's why I said you can't be serious.

You can't be serious with this.

Rhule seemed to indicate that during the presser. He said Sam saw Tremble had his guy blocked and went for it.

Not much from the presser. Doesn't sound like we'll see Sam or CMC Sunday.
