How important was Mike McCoy

Delhomme was an undrafted QB and in his second year as a Panther, was in the SB. Under McCoy, he and Smith had some of the best stats of any QB/receiver combination for a couple of years. When Smith was out on IR, he and Moose were one of the best QB/receiver combos in the NFL. Delhomme also had one of the highest post-season QB ratings for the 2003-2005 seasons. And in McCoys last year with the Panthers, they went 12-4. Since leaving to join the Broncos, the Panthers are 8-12.

Not all the credit for the wins is McCoys nor are all the losses - but still. Look at what is happening in Denver now.

As of today, Orton has the second most passing yards through four weeks in NFL history! In addition, he's completing around 67% of his passes with a 96 QB rating.

Now I know McCoy doesn't call the plays in Denver but still, you can't ignore the success Delhomme and Orton have had while playing for him.

Someone speculated he might be Fox's replacement. Given his production, I might just be fine with that.

What do you think?

hmm. Interesting.

I wouldn't be astonished if he was Fox's replacement now that you mention it. However, I think people were kinda glad he was gone when he left around here. Doesn't mean much since I think this board celebrates every departure like it will fix the franchise forever.

If he can tap into Clausen's potential, I'm all for it.

And why do you think that?

regarding QB coaching, he spent most of his time trying to be Jake's friend instead of coaching. He had no prior experience coaching before coming here, he only got hired in Den because he knew the same offense. He was OC without the playcalling, and QBs coach - now he's not QBs coach anymore, McDaniel's little brother is. Ben McDaniels was such a hot commodity, they stole him from...

...no one. He coached two years for UMinn and then nobody until now. So, McCoy was doing such a great job, he got replaced by nepotism.

I'm not saying the guy is a total abortion, but people only defend him now because they know him. He does very little good from all I can tell.

And, before we go all crazy saying he was better than Scherer,

So, meanwhile, what suggests he can run an NFL team? Being McDaniels' lacky?

I won't pretend to know what goes on at camp or in practice but even if he did, so what? The results speak for themselves and jake did have success while he was here.

So what? Wouldn't you say every coach at one time didn't have any experience and yet was still hired. I would think a coaches results would matter more than their prior experience when gauging them for a promotion.

He was OC without the playcalling, and QBs coach - now he's not QBs coach anymore...he got replaced by nepotism.

Nepotism is the key word isn't it? I'm not sure you can use that as a knock on his performance.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here as I haven't read anything concerning McCoy on this board.

2008. Detractors of Scherer say he screwed Jake up, but Jake was garbage in 2008. He earned the trust of some QBs and that's great, but evidence suggests he just didn't coach guys up that much.

And yes, you want your head coach to "coach". It's not "head friend."

sure, every coach. From Rich Kotite to Bill Walsh. The guy lucked into a cherry job here and then lucked into being a guy available under the same offense. Great for him, but I haven't seen evidence he did anything to be worth running our own team. So, did you?

Ben could've been an offensive QA guy or a tape guy. He could be a ball boy for his experience. McCoy's actual duties were lessened. McDaniels himself does most of the work, which IMO is ill-advised.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
