And those rules should apply to my original 23 schticks in here.   

23?   Like Dr. Pepper flavors?

Save us all... you are responding to one as well.

No, that is incorrect. Wentz had a QBR of 49.7 in 2020. Tannehill has had QBRs of 48.4, 45.6, 48.6, and 33.2.

Two different things.  QBR is not QB passer rating.   So, I think you are both right.

Not sure where you're getting that from my post. I said that Tannehill has never had a season as bad as Wentz did this season except for his rookie season. 

You never said anything about his rookie season.

Why would Watson want to go from one messy FO to another? Also from a team that actually has WRs to one that doesn't

Criticizing Howie is something that deserves to be listened to.

He never specified the metric used for evaluation.

Philly is a much more attractive job than Houston.  

 

Also, I wouldn't consider the Texans WR all that great.  Cooks and Fuller and...

Who can we say on Eagles that's even close to just those 2 lol

QBR is ESPN's metric. Rating is a different one. Both have their merits, but there really isn't any consistency between the two. Rating favors Tannehill in this case while QBR favors Wentz. And you're correct, Tannehill as a rookie had a worse season than Wentz did in his 5th year. But not by much. I don't think that's a fair comparison though.

WOW.

Houston is EASILY the worst job on the market.

Imagine if the Eagles organization was run by a charlatan tv preacher: https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/12/10/ex-chaplain-jack-easterby-houston-texans-chaos-after-power-struggle-daily-cover

To become part of the QB Factory, of course.    What a silly question.

QBR takes rushing into consideration, QB rating does not. Probably why you are seeing disagreements with early Wentz

A broken clock is right twice a day.   Scandrick sucks.   Howie sucks.  Both can be true at the same time.

All of our receiving talent.

The website he referenced only uses passer rating... QBR is an ESPN construct.

So...this has been interesting. Putting aside the question of Howie, here are a few quick thoughts no one asked for on the head coach search.

1. I have less than zero interest in Duce. It's great that players like him, but that makes sense since he is a former player. All we've really tangibly seen from him are nonsensical RB rotations. Plus, let's get a fresh perspective in here -- it is time for Duce to work in another organization.

2. The massive cap hit combined with the fact that we just fired Doug makes it clear (to me at least) that the key is finding a coach that can fix/maximize Carson's talent. He may be 28, but QBs are lasting longer. This puts guys like Daboll and Smith at the top of the list for me. We could go with someone like a Saleh and then find an OC to work with Carson, but Lurie is enamored with being offense focused. If we are moving Carson and taking the cap hit, then we are tanking 2021 to try and draft a QB in 2022, but I don't know who that guy is.

3. Based on the above, I'm interested in seeing what we can get for Hurts. We don't need the QB drama dominating the offseason and camp when a new coach is trying to install his system.

4. Call it Chip Kelly whiplash, but I don't want Riley. I want an NFL coach.

5. Bienemy and Leftwich should also get interviews. Andy's offense has progressed materially since Doug left, and Leftwich is intriguing given his work with Brady (new system, no offseason, still playing well).

No. I recovered the QBR data from that site.

So it does.  I just saw the 'rating' on the first graphic. I didn't scroll down.

Why would your GM bring in Golden Tate, when the coaches don't know how to incorporate him, and he's a redundancy to Nelson Agholor in the slot? Why would you trade for Gerard Avery, when the DC refuses to put him on the field? 

 

Crazy, I know... but there was a definite disconnect.  I can't buy that Howie was just getting the guys the coaches wanted, and then the coaches refused to use them.  
 

Why not? It happens all the time. Coach sees tape. Coach wants player. Coach gets player. Coach sees player in practice. Coach doesn’t use player.
