Patriots/NFL 2024 Playoffs Part 3: Chiefs SB Parade mass shooting

[EverettMike]

Mayo might be the least qualified NFL head coach in a very, very long time.

 

[Therick67]

So is it possible Steve wasn’t getting the credit he’s due, while Mayo is being given all the praise for this defense?

Mayo might be the least qualified NFL head coach in a very, very long time.

He does have all of 5 years coaching..

 

[GatorMike]

Didn't DeMeco Ryans have five years of coaching experience before he was hired by the Texans?

Looks like seven and DC for two years on an incredibly successful team (where the head coach is an offensive guru).

Think Steve B was great last year but pretty bad for a lot of his time calling defensive plays/as de facto DC.

 

[Therick67]

I’m pretty sure Ryan’s was calling the plays as DC.

Antonio Pierce was a linebackers coach and I wouldn’t put his minimal DC experience at ASU as something that puts him ahead of Mayo, who had a major role in putting together a good nfl defense

Definitely an experiment though

Fair, but not a total one-to-one comparison. Pierce was only named the interim because they made a mid-season change. Then he was officially hired after a good showing.

A good guy to point to if you want to be optimistic about Mayo. But even Pierce was a DC at the collegiate level.

 

[Therick67]

Antonio Pierce was a linebackers coach

Sure, but he also isn’t being tasked with putting together a staff. He was an interim, had success and the players responded to him and the raider’s gave him the job.

 

[GatorMike]

Why do you care if your Head Coach called plays or not as a coordinator?

I mean, presumably, he won't be calling plays as a Head Coach, right?

 

[wintersej]

10 of the top 42 players on PFFs big board are wideouts. There will be a good wide out available with the 2nd round pick.

Take the QB.

It's reflective of his lack of high level in-game experience, but I'd be fine with that if his coordinators had that experience. That's my issue. They should be supporting him with an experienced staff. Instead everyone is doing their job for the first time.

 

[Therick67]

It feels like for some reason the Krafts wanted to rush this guy to HC. Five years total of coaching experience and then being the guy making all the decisions is a lot to ask. It certainly can de done, but he doesn’t have a lot of experience or experienced coaches to lean on.

The odds of a top 3 QB making it are VERY slim if we look at history. I'm not rushing or rusking it. Especially since we are in realistically 5 years and beyond rebuild.

 

[GatorMike]

Let's wait and see the whole staff. It's very possible they'll bring in someone experienced to coach a position.

It’s totally true that the QB at 3 probably disappoints. But I just don’t see how you don’t shoot your shot and keep shooting until you hit.

I dont think the Patriots can afford to keep shooting and missing, imo

 

[KrejciMVP]

all indications are they are taking a QB. They aren't paying a fortune for Cousins off an achilles. Higgins would be a good add their FA money

Why would Higgins leave Burrow to come to us, while we're in a long term rebuild?

It's unrealistic.

If you aren't confident on hitting on a QB with the #3 pick in the draft, when will you ever be confident in taking one?

 

[Mione134]

I'm not confident in any of the top 3 QB's, imo.

Williams is maybe the only one and we aren't getting him.


I'd take my chances with the superstar WR build around from there and go for a Vet for the time being. This isn't going to be solved by Daniels or Maye. And asking them, or expecting them to come right in and start would be a HUGE ask and I don't think they're ready like that. Especially with the holes on the offense. They need to fill those holes first.

I hope if they do draft a QB he holds a clipboard for a year.

Williams is the QB I'm less confident in. If they are smart, none of them would start right away. Get a Jacoby Brissett or something while they get some offensive players.

Read that belichek didnt get hired because he wanted full control

ya well your prediction that these 3 qbs are going to be busts and MHJ is superstar isnt guaranteed. Seen teams like the lions miss on top WR propects.

Never said that were going to be busts. Sats says they might be, as drafting a QB in the top 5 normally and statistical doesn't go so well.
