OT: Football thread (2024 season)

[SnowblindNYR]

Daniel Jones is shockingly closer to Aaron Rodgers this season than anyone would have imagined. And no this is not Daniel Jones praise.

I'll just leave this right here. I didn't realize the stats were this...

Any time anyone thinks the Giants podcasts suck. This is an idiot from Minnesota.

Agreed. ESPN's QBR ratings has him ranked 21st behind the injured Anthony Richardson. Yahoo Fantasy had Richardson ranked as the 5th best OA player in the pre-season which included all positions. He's now ranked 59th.

The Mets sucked out some of the air from me fully enjoying this game but great win!

That's their team captain!?! What a nice guy.

 

[Barnaby]

Be nice to have an offensive minded coach for once... And someone with actual HC experience.

Adam Gase. Step right up! A recommendation from Peyton Mannning no less!

Saleh out.. didn't see that coming mid season

Gotta think Douglas is next. That Rodgers trade looks horrible, now.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Nice.

But now that means Hackett is the new HC lol

But you know Rodgers is the one pulling the strings with this team. He didn’t like Bob Salad it was clear.

The rodgers trade looks absolutely fine. WMD still looks better than the OT the steelers took, and if you pin the team underperforming on saleh, it works.
Douglas is still the best GM we've had in decades. actually drafts Oline, has picked up UDFA's who not only make the team but earn second contracts.
Seriously. this is a coaching thing.

Ulbrich, the Defensive Coordinator is the interim HC.

At the very least...no Hack.

This sounds like Stockholm Syndrome.

How can a GM that made the Reddick trade be "the best GM we've had in decades?"

Maybe that says more about your hires than him, but the dude is . . . not good.

Because all reports show that Reddick lied to the GM?
That he said he'd be good reporting?
Also it was basically a binary choice, sign huff or move him and get reddick.
Look at huff?

This will be a good test for Douglas. If changing the coach leads to a hot streak then Douglas can stick around and pick (not the Johnsons) the next HC. He isn't perfect but he's done more good than bad.
If the team bottoms out then Douglas can go in the offseason.

Saleh out.. didn't see that coming mid season

Honestly just based on this season I wonder about this. He has put together a great defense. The offense seems to largely be about what Rodgers wants. Would the Jets have Hackett running the offense if not for Rodgers?

A new HC may help jump start things. They often do but I do not know how the HC was responsible for Rodgers making poor throws.

Saleh winning 9 games, losing in the first round of the playoffs, and getting rewarded a contract extension is the best part of this at least that it can’t happen, that was my biggest fear.

Hackett and Keith Carter are still disasters, and should have went too though.

The Quincy Williams quote on Sunday was the first player crack when he said someone has to take accountability.

Coaches are basically hired to be fired. Belecheck has been fired. Andy Reid has been fired. I just do not know how Salah is to blame for Rodgers making a game ending really bad throw for an int.

If you don’t have the respect of the room anymore, which you can see in Woody’s statement that’s probably the case, it’s over, just like anytime the Rangers fire a coach, eventually the message gets drowned out, and you can’t fire the entire team so the coach goes.

 

[Ruggs225]

I hope the Jets hire a coach who is offense first. Im tired of hiring defensive wizards to coach the team. It aint working.

Especially in an offense driven league.

saleh tossed

That is true. The coach needs to be respected. I actually think the organization kissing Rodgers butt put the head coach in a tough position. Instead of the coach being 100% the boss people felt like the QB was making decisions. I think Salah is a pretty darn good defensive coach. It is noteworthy to me that Hackett kept his job.
