I'm honestly not sure if it's even fair to classify Joe Brady as a failure. I mean, just look at our offense now post-Rhule. Safe to say in retrospect that Rhule was probably heavily meddling in Brady's offense.

Brady was about to start driving things, was learning, adapting, getting his feet wet, and Rhule came in with his "I know how we need to get this done" direction...

I said it back then but got killed for it. I know folks wanted to believe Brady was the issue but the offensive woes have been a part of the build everywhere Rhule has been. 
 

He fired Brady at an odd time and cited a lack of runs each week as the reason and then from that point out for the rest of the year we dropped from 18th best offense to dead last AND WE RAN EVEN LESS. 
 

Rhule sucked.

We obviously aren’t in a position to ever know now, but man Id kill to know what Brady could have been without Rhule. I honestly think he would have been a good to great OC without Rhules garbage

I remember Robbie Anderson (I know not the best source) yelling on the sidelines that the defense knew our routes before we ran them.  Brady was a co-coordinator in college, and offensive coordinator for us, and now is a qb coach on a team that doesn't really need a qb coach. He was Rhule's pick. It is possible that both Rhule AND Brady were the problem. Please hire a proven OC.

If they are a proven OC why would they want to become our OC and not a HC? If we keep Wilks then we are going to have to take a shot on the offensive side and it will likely determine Wilks chances of success of making it over .500 as a HC. This is why so many are just calling for an OC hire as HC, DCs are easy to come by compared to OCs. Hell this thread is all about the Eagles losing their OC and QB coach in one offseason. 

We know Rhule was an issue, it's already been confirmed this year. We don't know what Brady is as an OC because that has never been seen without Rhule. I get what you are saying but I need to see Brady without Rhule before confirming he is a complete dud and it wasn't a huge part of Rhule that made him fail here.  There is just no confirmation until he gets another shot and by him going up to the Bills I am guessing it won't be long because that pantry will get raided on the offensive side sooner than latter too.

Pairing a questionable defensive minded head coach hire with a quarterbacks coach who has never called plays before sounds like a great idea. Joe Brady level great idea. 

That's kinda what I was thinking.  It could work but on the surface it doesn't look like a good idea

 

And fug no to whoever suggested pep Hamilton

I know QB coach -> OC is the norm, but I'd really like a candidate to have a background with the O-line or as a running game coordinator. We'll probably need to coach up some young QB's for a while here, but we've got an elite run game right now and need to keep it that way. The next OC needs to be able to keep the running game as varied and effective as it is now.

Eagles QB coach had crossed my mind too awhile back so I looked him up. Oh wee mayne does he seriously lack experience in terms of getting an NFL OC job. Not sure we'd be apt to go that route after the Joe Brady experiment.

I don't have a problem making a leap that like if the people interviewing him have a clue how to assess football coaching ability. 

So, is Wilks hiring him or is David Tepper?

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
