time2rock Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Interesting that he had an agreement with us to be in isolation and on stand by in case he is needed and now will sign with Houston. Not a loss worth sweating though. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/11/04/texans-sign-josh-mccown/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Practice squad guys are fair game but it means Houston had to sign him to their active roster. Kind of an odd move but good for him. He gets over a half million bucks to ride it out with Houston the rest of the season. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brkmsn Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Honestly, I think we were wasting him as the "plan Covid" PS QB. Wentz could have really used him on the sideline this year. I think that's exactly why Houston wants him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been holding out hope that the move to bring him back in that capacity would lead to him being added to the coaching staff, perhaps as QB coach. Although that could still happen.

Crazy Legs Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 At least it wasn't Dallas. Oh no! Maybe Roger Stauback is on quick dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can't say I blame him. If he has an appetite to play then he's better off on an active roster. Cue covid hitting our QB room where McCown would have been required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathByEagle Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I still want him as our QB coach. Please make it happen next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to have him on the coaching staff. I think that would be a smart move all around. But is he going to get after Wentz in the way Wentz does? I don't know either way but he doesn't strike me as someone to give out tough love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz made some of his biggest improvement last year, only to go downhill this year. If you watched the All or Nothing it showed Josh in Wentz ear all the time, teaching, coaching. I think Josh would be an exceptional QB coach for him. Instead of chatting up about buddy buddy talk, Josh would actually coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz struggled a lot last year before getting it together in the final 4 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglegenius Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The Birds should have grabbed QB coach Joe Brady (who elevated Joe Burrow's game) before the Panthers nabbed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried. He wanted to be an OC and like MANY other OC candidates out there, no one wanted to join Philly because Doug made it known he was running the offense.

I think a lot of people who have been around him think he's going to be a really good NFL coach. Now whether that's as an OC, QB coach, other positional coach or maybe even HC who knows. But I think people believe he's a really smart guy who has been a sideline coach throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleJoe8 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I’d be fine allowing McCown to intern on the staff while getting his feet wet as an actual coach, and then elevate as he earns the right to do so, but we probably should be leery about just handing him a position right off the bat.

They are not giving up big yards on returns. Cant remember the last TD they gave up. They are not getting a mass amount of penalties in the return game. Just cause they are not getting TDs on returns is nothing anymore. Your not seeing many returns now a days in the NFL since the new kick off rules. As long as they are holding to min gains on returns, they are doing their job in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
