Big Blue Huddle

Williams, Maye and McCarthy weren't thst impressive today.

It's one day but it's been hasn't been the finest QB play.

I might have a date with Heidi Klum later today as well.

Cause he will want a ton more money than he deserves. He isn't that good

If anyone knows how to run a bad football team, it would be Mike Lombardi. Look at his son - he gets axed, and they win 2 consecutive games

Commanders. We will score 10 points. They will score a lot more. Especially if Thibs is out.

Our rookie CB has hit a wall and I can see us playing guys like Dexter a little less each game.

Maye and Williams will be top 3 picks. Someone will do with Daniels like they did with Richardson and other QBs who jump off the screen and select him higher. But after that. It wouldnt shock me to say a QB wont get between pick 10-25. You may see teams late in the draft trade back in or take a guy. But this "historic" class has a lot of question marks.

Stupid. Nothing less, nothing more.

It doesn't help he didn't know the snap count either.

How about we all agree that we want Stroud to stink this weekend and for the Texans to lose?     

They're not getting rid of Jones after the year- but he ain't starting next year lol

Besides, you're providing evidence against your own point. You're stating Staley is terrible; yet, with a top 5 QB, it a team can overcome marginal coaching.  After all, the Chargers won 10 games last year and made the playoffs.  So, it appears its mostly about the QB...

We won 10 games with Jones.. so it goes both ways too lol.

And I do think Staley is terrible. I think he gets fired this year.

RBs are fungible. Most easily replaceable position on the team.

I'm the last 40 years, only 4 teams (phili, Balt x2 and TB) won SBs without QBs who won't appear on a HoF ballet, and 3 of 4 had all-time great defenses with 3-to-4 HoF players. So, it does indeed to be mostly about the QB; it may not be 90%, but it's pretty dang close. 

You're right it's a big piece but think of all the great ones who never win and probably won't.

Here's my case in coaching. I think you and I agree thst Justin Herbert is a pretty darn QB- probably a top 5ish. And he might be stuck with the worst coach in the NFL.

Quote from: kingm56 on November 13, 2023, 09:26:55 PMCoaching is overinflated by fans; fundamentally, and most importantly, it's about talent.

If coaching is as important as you  profess, and Bill Belichick is all time great coach, why is he 82-98 without Tom Brady? Why did another HoF coach retire after one loosing season without Drew Brees?  How did Josh MacDaniel and Adam Case set NFL scoring records with Brady and Manning and we're both fired 2x without them.  I could go on and on; the objective data all suggest the same...in the modern NFL, it's about the QB.

Btw, I would enjoy hearing your perspective concerning Bill B conundrum.  If he's a great coach, and coaching is so important, why is he well below average without the greatest QB of all-time?  Both cannot be true...

Coaching is a part. There are many parts to a great team. QB is a big part. Coaching is too. And I agree with you about talent- I've been stressing that all year.

BB hasn't done a good job drafting offensive talent. You're right he has no QB since Brady but his WR and TEs are average and below average as well.

However let me illustrate this point about it all being about the QB. All the great QBs seems to have amazing WRs. Well let's look at how some of the best QBs improved once they got their guy.

Hurts once he got AJ brown took a huge step
Tia looks amazing the last two years... hello Tyreek Hill
Allen got Diggs
Burrow got chase
Cousins got Jefferson
Dak and Lamb are pretty darn good
Purdy has about 4 legit number 1 WR options
I mean even Brady got a boost in TB with Evans

I won't include Mahomes cause he's just amazing. And he wins with anything.

The QB is a big piece. But he's not 90%.
