A few different reasons for that guess; 1.) DeFilippo’s comments regarding what he looks for in a QB. All 3 quarterbacks match his opinion on completion % and INT %, but his comments about a QB needing to be able to move and not be a “stick in the mud” pretty much rules out Bradford, leaving Bridgewater and Keenum. 2.) You don’t make such an aggressive push for, and ultimately hire a coach, who’s got a reputation as a good developer for the QB position and not keep the QB who’s still developing. 3.) If the team was planning on, or leaning towards, bringing Keenum back, you would think that they’d have simply promoted Stefanski, and keep the continuity. You make an aggressive push for defillipio because he was the best available. Easy argue to be made that Defillipio can further develop Case. Hiring defillipio was to attempt to bring in someone better then stefanski. I wouldn't concluded that Teddy would be a more fair guess then Case right now.

I'm not sure if that. If we've reached a conclusion that Defillipio has a good eye for young QB talent & developing young QB... Even if you think he is only here for one season, I think it becomes a premium to let him have huge input into the QB to be drafted & let him develop him as much as possible before he goes. Likely the chosen QB outlasts Defillipio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
