He punted on 4th and inches last night when his team was struggling on defense Archived Message Posted by Taz on January 12, 2025, 13:21:12, in reply to "To start the season on offense" And needed to score. Previous Message Justin fields as your QB- recently cast off from Chicago for a 6th rounder. Russell Wilson as your other QB- also recently cast off. Denver cut off their arm to get away from him and he was hurt. Najee Harris as your RB- the definition of league average. George Pickens at WR- complete nutcase, but the only receiver worth a damn that you have. And he went 10-7. Also, Arthur Smith is a pretty damn good OC, just not a good HC. Previous Message When he loses in the first round next year, it will be 10 years of no playoff wins and he’ll tie Marvin Lewis for 7 playoff losses in a row. A real QB would help, but he’s way too conservative for today’s NFL. And he’s hiring guys like Arthur Smith to run offense. You can only get so far with defense and special teams. He’s kind of become the Andy Dalton of NFL coaches. Previous Message One of the best runs from a coach ever Previous Message Hopefully Caleb can change that. Tomlin is basically a slightly better Jeff Fisher at this point though.

McCarthy is a "settling" candidate - DanSaint January 14, 2025, 20:25:44 i don't think he has a high floor at all* - VIV January 14, 2025, 20:27:38 He has 9-8 or 10-7 written all over him.

You think he would be Fox bad? - MC January 14, 2025, 20:44:44 that's not quite as bad as john fox, but yeah, i think mccarthy would be a bad hire - VIV January 15, 2025, 9:59:56 by high floor I think the Bears would be semi competitive. But wouldn't be in any position to win - DanSaint January 14, 2025, 20:33:24 Yeah I’m with you. McCarthy isn’t a bad coach but he’s not good neither. - MC January 14, 2025, 20:36:26 Was Shaw in person?
