Bobby Brown

When Reid went to KC his coaching ability was universally blasted. The pass to run the clock out was clutch.

Can Brady get fined for pwnage on Brees?

He was being linked to potential head coaching jobs several weeks ago.

After the 2nd half offense collapse something had to change. He's an easy scapegoat but Wilson and Carroll aren't leaving anytime soon. Apparently defenses adjusted and started playing 2 deep safeties. The rumor was that short to medium WR route trees were limited and predictable so CBs could snuff those out. The whole NFL adjusted to let Russ Cook; the Hawks never made successful changes after the fact.

I tend to agree. When was the last time Quinn had anything to do with a good defense? Close to 10 years now? He made a name for himself in 13 and 14 in Seattle. He led an elite defense but he had multiple studs, some future HOFrs, implementing Pete Carroll's vision. Quinn was also fortunate to have Shanahan for his first 2 seasons in Atlanta. Seems like the defense regressed during his HC tenure.

Heh. Sehawks may have had the most disappointing finish to a 12-4 season in NFL history. Pittsburgh: Hold my beer.

Do you need a safe space?

Holy moly. The Browns are currently doing to the Steelers what Trump did to the Republican party!

Seattle's OLine looked like the Capitol police.

Russell Wilson would like you to hold his beer.

I would think the best case scenario for Darnold would be a Ryan Tannehill type rebirth. Tannehill had to move to a different franchise, but maybe Darnold could do it with the current regime?

The Jets need to figure out how to build a better supporting cast around Darnold in a hurry. They've done a horrendous job at it thus far. I don't think the book is closed on Darnold, but he hasn't proven he can be consistently mediocre let alone 'very good.' If Lawrence truly is a "generational talent" he will have a long lasting effect on a franchise.

Fair enough. But 10 years ago rookie QBs didn't even necessarily start playing right away. And as mentioned earlier; it's a completely different NFL today than even 5 years ago. Teams were always trying to draft a pocket passer, that isn't the case now.

So what's the best way to do that? Defense? Seahawks, Jaguars, Broncos and 49ers all had great defenses for 2 maybe 3 seasons in the 'recent' past. But it didn't last. Jaguars and Broncos became irrelevant. 49ers were on their way to regressing defensively this year. Seattle stayed relevant because of the QB. Looking at playoff teams this year. It's essentially teams with future HOFr QBs or those teams who drafted QBs early from 17 through 19. The Jimmy Garoppolo type led teams in the playoffs are the exception. https://thescorecrow.com/2020/03/29/offense-over-defense-the-formula-for-long-term-success-in-the-nfl/ What do the teams below have in common? Best NFL teams of the 2010s Team W-L Win % Playoffs Super Bowls Titles Patriots 125-35 0.781 10 5 3 Packers 102-56-2 0.644 8 1 1 Steelers 102-57-1 0.641 6 1 0 Seahawks 100-59-1 0.628 8 2 1 Saints 100-60 0.625 6 0 0

Except reality is showing us that 6 out of 11 recent highly drafted QBs, including 2 guys drafted first overall, did lead their team to more wins. Those must be completely random anomalies that coincidentally are happening at a much higher rate now?
