DeMeco Ryan’s started coaching in 2017. Feel like he’s a great example of a player transitioning amazingly fast to proving an elite coach. Elite? Maybe that’s even just a touch too far to actually credit him with even.

Just so we’re clear…it’s 2026 now…2017 nowhere close to third season coaching for DeMeco.

Demeco’s lightning fast development seemingly optimal example? He became DC in Santa Clara his fourth season.

And won the SB???

Hurts won SB MVP finishing the season in completing dominating fashion…against the best teams in the league at that. That’s the guy you are tearing down dogging on.

I'm trying to see if I have someone on ignore or am missing posts? I've seen one poster on here for 50 consecutive posts the other day and I see what looks like he is having a conversation with someone, but don't see any other person answering?????

Nope....you are absolutely fine. This is one guy having an imaginary conversation.

So Moore who is now a HC couldn't coach????

I’ve been on record as not even a huge fan of Moore. Yet after making that clear I stated all hope relied on how far Moore could get is by the end of the season. Hurts was for the first time placed in charge of the O honestly. Hurts first time calling the blocking assignments. Hurts first time utilizing Motion. Hurts first time pretty much just going under C. It felt like Moore had invented time travel practically …for just bringing Playaction to the most dominant rushing team. Moore actually coached…and provided Hurts with audible powers. Other than with Moore…I can’t even find any scrap of evidence Hurts was provided anything more than a handful of audible options to check to. That handful I honestly feel is including run left, run right and run left. Well ok…maybe 6 or 7 audible options at most.

Don’t even consider entire O learning a completely foreign new O that actually I don’t even believe existed in any manageable workable form before the bye to begin with. Coaches didn’t even have things together yet. But let’s put that absolutely massive undeniably hold up out of the question even.

How long…or what’s the acceptable learning curve grace period just for any QB to reliably handle his new first time duties that season under an actual O mind qualified capable coach? Couple of seasons? At least half a season? Heck…can’t possibly expect first three games. Wasn’t fourth game where a handful of our starters were out injured and our team never exited the plane in the blazing TB heat? I can’t even find much of any reasoning to really consider the Tampa game in. Personally I actually suggested we full on just sit that game out taking the L. That’s how obvious that situation was in my mind.

I’m just a realist. Been better to have just sat our starters that actually could suit up that day. Was brutal what happened instead.

That's what we're all waiting to see now. If Hurts refuses to run again he's not going to do well until he figures out the passing game which could take some time with new receivers

How can you make this decision here and now? If we are leading by two scores…Hurts still needs to run? This is where you are lost. More likely Hurts gets shut down on the bench letting Tanner finish the last series…maybe even two. But if we dominate in this fashion? We are labeling it a negative. No context…no details…heck no actual game or game situations…haven’t even made our biggest post June 1st blockbuster trade yet.

What QBs..in what scenarios need to pass the most?

Just now, cunninghamtheman said:

What QBs..in what scenarios need to pass the most?

A) teams need to rely on QB passing the most to control the clock and protect leads

B) bad teams trailing and behind are forced into passing the most attempting to catch up

Opposite side of things effecting passing g needs:

Does a team need to pass more if their D is terrible?

Or is their some version of NFL teams ever in history needing to lean on passing the most possessing elite defenses?
