Realistic question: if playcalling could be taken from McAdoo, who would you have call plays?

Not sure, during fanfest I was watching Sam and Baker very closely. 

Sam was moving the ball down the field, looking like practice Sam, very capable, efficient, patient even.

Baker looked exactly like he does now. No progress.

I can't rightfully judge McAdoo without a QB executing and Baker doesn't. I think Sam is coming back for his job. He's getting paid a lot of money and Baker has crashed out, Sam would be better in this offense we can all see that, at least I hope we all can.

I feel like it’s more difficult to be successively bad at your job than it is to be consistently good. As in, how is one able to do the same thing for four straight weeks, come up with the same result, and not once pose the question to oneself… “maybe I should try something different.”

They are trying different things, jeez…this statement is over the top.  You saw players turning the ball over, missing passes, penalties, dropped passes.  These players have to play better on offense.  Period.  The OC has to be better but I think literally the #1 problem for me is 3rd down on offense.  We have to be last in that dept

Well for starters, they could extend Mayfield’s drop back. They’ve wasted 12 passes over the past four games by continually running the same scheme that requires Mayfield to do to two and three step drop backs before firing the ball into the defensive line.

When a coach is 11-26 and the only common denominator is said coach, it goes wayyyy beyond turnovers and dropped passes.

I’d argue that the first down offense is significantly worse than the third down offense. I don’t have time to look up the stats but I’d be willing to bet that the Panthers face third and long (i.e. third and 7+) more than most teams in the NFL because they can’t stay on schedule.

Lol or waiting for Matt to get fired and opening it up to look like a hero.

Yeah, the crazy thought has crossed my mind that McAdoo is sabotaging the team in hopes that he can become the interim head coach. He does have D-bag look about him.

The thing is, it's HIS fault were are 1-3.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
