Dose everyone like his play calling or do you think we should start out fresh?

When Davidson first arrived, I was really excited b/c of his background with Charlie Weis in NE. He said he wanted to design an offense that, while based on the running game, would be versatile enough to keep us from being so predictable. He wanted to be able to run the ball out of multiple sets and develop the passing game more to keep opposing defense off-guard. Not his exact words, but that was what I took from his first interview after he was hired. However, we all know what has happened under Fox's ultra conservative philosophy and Jake's increasingly declining skills (which were slightly above average to begin with). I suspect these are the real culprits for our offensive woes, since we were dealing with the same thing when Henning was the OC.

With all of that said, I'm a litle undecided. One the one hand, I want to see what Davidson could really do without his playcalling with Fox's influence and a bonafide starting QB; on the other hand, I would't mind bringing in a frest approach to our offensvie scheme. I'm sure this will more than likely be decided if or when a new HC is in place anyway, but that's JMO.

How much does John Fox have to do with the play calling, offensive or defensive? Does Davidson and/or Meeks give Fox a few plays that he thinks would be good for the situation the team is in, and Fox chooses out of those? Or is it all Davidson? All Meeks? These questions weigh in heavily on my answer to the thread...

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
