How many of those teams had future 1st ballot HOF QBs in their prime?

 

I see Marv with Jimbo and Reeves with Elway.

 

Both of those guys at least made it to multiple Super Bowls with that QB. Reeves even coached Vick and the Falcons to a Super Bowl.

 

Wyche coached Boomer Esaison (not a HOFer) to a Super Bowl.

 

Rivera coached Newton to a Super Bowl.

 

John Foxx coached Jake Delhomme to a Super Bowl.

 

 

History would be on the side of still getting there.

 

And we wouldn't be playing the Chiefs for the Trophy in that game...

Getting there is one thing but at the end of the day they didn't win.

I think we would all take Josh Allen in a postseason game against someone other than Patrick Mahomes

What do you mean give a pass? Are you saying other teams would be firing Joe Brady by this point?

Ken Dorsey got hired. I'm not out on Brady, but his inability to scheme WRs open and provide new looks in the championship is troubling. I'm more on Beane who is awful at drafting early rounds. Dawkins, Milano, and White all came from the draft before him, outside of Allen, has he hit on that much talent at all. I don't think McD and Beane get it done, but hopefully I'm wrong. History is not in their favor.

Not winning with a new play caller is a textbook reason not to build with a defensive head coach

Idk, I think a lot of this is drought shock. We would never give a pass to coordinators on other teams with 1.5yrs on the team and experience before that. The staff is meh and the roster is bad. I even see people give Beane a pass like this team isn't void of playmakers outside of like 2 guys. 

 

Yes... a bad staff and meh roster just won 13 regular season games and 2 playoff games and lost by 3 points in their final game.
