SkippyX Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The 9,000th best NFL QB, Clint Stoerner, went on a rant yesterday about how BoB is better than Kubiak. Kubiak is a Super Bowl Champion head coach. The best team in Texans history was a Kubiak team. (2012) BoB beat up on a bad AFC South for 5 years. Repeatedly winning your division at 9-7, 9-7, 10-6, 11-5 does not make you a good coach. It just means no other team was good enough to win 10, 10, 11, and 12 games. BoB won 2 playoff games because 1 of them was against Connor Cook. He was down 16-0 in the 3rd in the other playoff win. JJ and Watson bailed him out. BoB is a poor play caller, a bad designer of offense, and a failure as a leader of men. He is also worthless in all aspects of PR that goes along with the job. I'd love for the Giants to hire him.

Like, sure, Darnold and Fields are probably fairly similar, but one is going into year 5 and one's a rookie. No matter how you slice that, you're admittedly choosing a failure at QB at that point. And LA has a mobile QB? Yeah. Guess what, Matthew, so do you. Darnold's last standing worthwhile trait is his mobility, ffs. Methinks Matt Rhule doesn't understand quarterbacks..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think the Browns sent out some misinformation about wanting to interview Condoleezza Rice in 2018 but it was not a real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 44 minutes ago, SkippyX said: So either Culley is getting fired or the Texans are the worst FO in NFL history (both can be possible, I guess) Culley and staff had the chance to coach at the Senior Bowl and the Texans declined. I think the Jags declined first because they are replacing their interim staff. The Lions at #2 accepted. The Texans passed. The Jets at #4 accepted. I don't have an article proving this but 610 in Houston (official Texans radio) are treating it as fact. I'd go with the former, and then the latter with an asterisk saying the Jaguars don't count. Culley did a respectable job with what he had, including his staff developing a young QB into like the second best one of his class (and that class includes Trevor ******* Lawrence). They're crazy to fire Culley in the environment they have now. But declining coaching the Senior Bowl certainly sounds like that's what's happening. 32 minutes ago, ET80 said: I'm hoping he never gets another job in football, even with a division rival. I'm also waiting for the "I told you so" moment for a few people who think that BoB is a good HC, but shouldn't make personnel decisions. That's been cropping up from a few people lately. It's almost like people think I don't know what I'm talking about... I mean, they're right more often than not, but this isn't one of those times. Yeah. I don't think BOB was the worst coach. But as you say all the time, he had a top 10 QB at the same time he had maybe the best receiver in the NFL (for a few of those years, at least), and undoubtedly the best defensive player in the entire NFL, not to mention the support of guys like Clowney, Mercilus, Cunningham, McKinney, Joseph, etc. The 2017-2019 squad was absolutely stacked. If a team that was relatively stable wanted to hire him, it would be one thing. Still a bad move, but not as mind-numbingly bad as the Jags doing it coming off of possibly the worst coaching hire in recent NFL history. They ought to bring in Flores to maximize that defense IMO. He seems like a stable dude, and his offensive staff did finally get something out of Tua. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flores, Caserio and Easterby all have a relationship, so I think they're just being opportunistic. I have to say, I don't dislike the move - Flores has done a lot with a team also void of star talent (more than what the Texans have, but not a whole lot). We'll see.

Fwiw, I’ve heard a few times this was actually in reaction the fan saying Deshaun sucked (who he was walking with). No idea if that’s true, but definitely changes things if so.

Uncle Buck Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I've decided that the Jaguars interviewing BoB is actually a genius move. Interviewing him, that is. Certainly not hiring him. Hiring him would be an unmitigated disaster. But if they just interview him, then, if the guy they actually do end up hiring has some struggles early on, Jags fans can at least console themselves by saying "Hey, it could be worse. We could have ended up with BoB!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think he's necessarily wrong in his evaluation. A bunch of people questioned Slater's length heading into the draft. In retrospect it seems silly, but CB was a need too and we ended up with Horn. Funnily enough, we would end up drafting another short-armed LT prospect later in the draft (Brady Christensen), who Rhule refused to play at LT almost all season until the end because he didn't think he had the length to play it. And voila, as soon as Brady got a chance to play it, he looked good. That is more of a black mark on Rhule than the Slater comments. One thing that seems clear with Rhule since he's arrived is that he values physical attributes and believes strongly in his ability to coach a player's technique up. If a guy doesn't have the prototypical size, you just shouldn't mock him to the Panthers. At least not in the 1st 2 rounds. Oh well. We'll see how it plays out. I don't have a lot of confidence in Rhule right now. A horrible mishandling of the QB position and a lot of really poor staffing decisions. But who knows. I mean taking my fandom out of the equation, it probably is the right decision to bring him back for a 3rd year. If it works out, horray. If it doesn't, then we're probably in a much better spot to attract a great candidate next year. Darnold's contract will be over, we could opt-out of McCaffrey's contract, somewhere close to $100m in cap space, and a lot of young players to build around (especially on the defensive side).

I can feel it in my body… …and I’m going to go into a deep, dark depression in the meantime. Well, based on how you franchise has operated in recent history, you can at least take some solace (hey, I'm trying to help you find a silver-ish lining here!) in the 1st round picks you'll recoup, if this happens, when Lawrence inevitably forces his way out via trade to another team. ... hell, the Rams might even actually have another 1st round pick to deal by the time that happens.
