It sounds like he’s a real mixed bag. Players here seemed to like him but when you are winning….
that article was so messy that I don’t doubt he had issues but of what scope who knows. Having the preview/header lead with that he exploded and threatened Kafka then to in the next paragraph elaborate that it was threatening to take over playcalling was bush league. Likewise citing that he “gave a death stare” to a coordinator on the sideline once a few years ago.
no doubt he had blow ups but if a dirty look during a game 3-4 years ago was in the top ten list it all seems forced to create a narrative coming from the organization.
he sucked in the role, and losers end up with their story told by others.
I posted here a few times that his rookie outcomes were far above his rookie performance.
I don’t recall details offhand but many turnover worthy passes that were dropped. Receivers catching a higher rate of off target passes than usual etc…
the advanced stats were really bad compared to the actual
My guess is he failed his concussion tests, and they will start him the absolute instant he passes and even earlier if they can find a way to get him through illegally
it’s something that literally no other staff has done. They unsuccessfully navigated several cap advantaged seasons without that accomplishment, but maybe their first will be with a lesser roster and voices growing old in the room. It would be a reinvention of leadership never before seen in the nfl. Do we think McD is that guy?
of course.
Jordan missed plenty of shots, and Brady lost a bunch of games.
these are human beings.
I think it’s totally fine to call plays they miss.
though my expectations aren’t perfection and I don’t think he is the primary overarching issue with this season unless we are accepting that the only plan was the we have super man and he can just turn it on and off at will.
why can’t the receivers also play towards their floor and not their ceiling?
especially missing Palmer/kincaid
the problem is he’s not actually better than our top few guys
if we want him to return and take 5-10 snaps on offense - I’m not mad about it but it’s not revamping our attack
we act like it’s unique too- as if Brady, manning, mahomes, etc…. Didn’t get people amped up to play. Especially vs a division rival.
It’s why we need to show up with our best roster and our best staff to start the season
