How important was Mike McCoy

his QB workout was limited to throwing balls in a barrel. those who saw at OTAs and training camp can attest to this.

people were in awe of the amount of work that rip put into working with the QBs as far as form and footwork and a few other areas.

flat out, rip has done more with the QBs than mccoy. crediting jake's and smiths success on mccoy is a bit far fetched. crediting jake's demise with mccoy's exit is a bit on the far etched side of things as well. jake had this little surgery on his elbow... not sure if you heard about it, but that kind of helped to expose a lot of problems that he already had. it affected his overall performance. the only thing rip did was to try and get jake to think about what he was doing and that might have helped screw him up but the biggest thing that screwed jake up was his elbow and what was going on between his ears. losing mccoy just meant jake losing a friend. not much more than that.

also, what did mckid do in mew england? little reminder...he was the QB coach from 2004-2008 and the OC from 2006-2008. i'm thinking that he probably had as much or more impact on orton than mccoy. it's pretty well known that mckid is calling the offense and mccoy's job is to just help the offense do what the boss tells it to do. he's a glorified assistant coach/errand boy.

Dan Henning preferred to work directly with his quarterbacks. Under Henning, Mike McCoy wasn't much more than a go-between. Post-Henning he served more as a friend and sounding board to Delhomme than anything else. Now he's in Denver, serving essentially another figurehead position.

So the basic answer: Not that important at all.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
