What will it take for our offense to succeed?

:skep:your only choices there are Volek and Anderson and no thanks I do agree we need a vet QB. They should be able to learn the system and the coaches need to also adapt their philosophies to the talent on the team not just come with their way only.

Via free agency. Trade could net you a guy like Palmer or Garrard.

And the team didn't assemble a staff of all Coryell offense guys for nothing.

The only QB from free agency that's worth considering is McNabb and he's yet to be released. I'm not sure if that will even happen and the same goes for Palmer. If we're not going to draft a Qb or get one of those two (McNabb or Palmer) we might as well suck it up go with the same lineup from last year.

McNabb is a West Coast offense guy. Not what you want here. Ditto Matt Hasselbeck.

Palmer is overrated but he's still a better choice than about anything else available to us.

I'd happily take a chance on Garrard with Shula coaching him though (that combo looked good before).

I dont think he would have problem with learning a new offense. He's a seasoned vet. I think he just didn't have much to work with in Washington. He still can throw deep with accuracy. I'd go with Palmer based off of his past success which isnt really a good thing to do. His last game against us makes him the last choice of QB's on my list.

McNabb was bad enough to get benched last year.

I couldn't name you a single QB from a West Coast system that succeeded in another offense. Jeff Garcia looked like a king in a WCO, but stunk to high heaven in anything else.

I believe just the fact that we're straying away from Foxball will improve us greatly. Possibly even enough to succeed, even if we just have a slightly below average (opposed to horrible) qb under center.

Agree. I think the coaching change alone would improve last years team with at least a 5-11 record. That's why I dont think we'll be picking in the top 10 next year.

Sort of moving away from it.

We had a Coryell offense under Fox when Dan Henning was the coordinator. We're moving back to that kind of attack.

Davidson was a student of Charlie Weis. Weis had some Coryell influence (serving under Ray Perkins) and there are similarities in the systems, but what Davidson ran wasn't quite the same as what Henning did.
