offensive coordinator approach

First, I do not believe Sam is a good QB. 

But, second, can we and should we blame our coaching? Specifically, why in the HECK is our OC sitting up in a booth smacking his gum and not coaching. Every good team, their OC's are down on the sidelines actually coaching. Sam goes out and throws a pick and there is nobody to talk to him about coverages with, look at their dumb Microsoft services and find something maybe that might work....?

He fails and he puts his hat on and gets no coaching. The coaching is failing him just as much. You can prepare as much as you want during the week but things change. Even Tom Brady is on the sidelines speaking with Byron Leftwitch.

I think this is a complete failure on Rhule and Brady.

Honestly coordinators belong in the booth IMO.

The main problems with this team stem from the QB on the field and the players assigned to protect him.  At the very least the FO needs to address the line and get a future starter at QB. 
 

Brady could be sleeping on an air mattress in Sam's apartment and on the sidelines during games throwing rose pedals at his feet but the results would be the same.

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.

The QB coach needs to be spending time with Darnold on the sideline.

He does.  Usually after a series I’ll see Sam sit down with Sean Ryan and look at the tablet, go over stuff, etc.  This guy has been QB Coach for Stafford and Watson.  He knows good QB play.  I just don’t think Sam is able to get over the mental hurdles of being an NFL QB.

it's all under one room. Tepper's. He can feel free to leave.

The OC should have been able to look at Darnolds tape prior to signing him and said, this guy can't run my offense. Now 9 games into the season, he's still on the field and still can't run the offense. At some point you either believe you have what it takes and Rhule won't listen to you, you look terrible, and get fired, or you walk to save your career. He ain't walking so...

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
