Rick Smith and O'Brien know Watson is the future. Brady didn't start his rookie year either. Watson will get his shot this season. Good things happen to those who wait.

Pastor Dillon Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I just can't stand Savage and his check down, check down, sack style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep0507 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 All this O'Brien dislike time and again. Yeah, the offenses have been far from high octane, and some of the play calls make you pull your hair out. I lean towards chalking that up to what he has had available. I wouldn't take many chances with Hoyer/Fitz/Mallett/Os/Savage either if they were my QB, and the play calling would reflect. With an above average to great D, paired with a horrific special teams and an offense led by someone you just hope doesn't do something insanely stupid, you call it conservative to stagnant and hope your D puts you in position to do something to win the game. I'm fine with 9-7 for 3 years with 2 playoff appearances and 1 win. (YES, I know that it came against the AFC South and the Raiders didn't have Carr...fact remains that it happened) It takes time to rebuild a team, and that's exactly what has happened since the 2-14 year. Unless O'Brien's team completely implodes, I'd rather have the coach that the team was "designed" for around rather than have a new guy come in and dismantle it over 3 years because it doesn't fit HIS system. In my opinion, every new football coach...high school, college, pros needs 4-5 years before he's gone unless something disastrous happens. This is year 4, if something doesn't start to change, yeah, it should be looked at, but I'm still inclined to give him year 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he was a bad pick. Holds the ball too long, indecisive and can't move effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to build on success, not maintain the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
