Dan Quinn: From William & Mary to the Super Bowl
Like many in the coaching line, Dan Quinn started at the bottom, working 60-hour weeks and doing the dirty work. Even at his first stint, he showed the traits—no-nonsense grinder, quick learner, good communicator—that would eventually take him and the Falcons to the Super Bowl….https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/01/26/dan-quinn-falcons-coach-super-bowl-51-william-and-mary

Jason epitomizes the lack of attention to detail that permeates throughout an organization. Do the little things right. All the time. Be maniacal about the little things as a leader. Then those that follow will do the same

The Monday Night Miracle was dope to watch esp since it was MNF.
Honorable Mention:
The season Stephen Davis burst on to the scene and was an end zone magnet. Loved me some SD

How many times under former ownership did we actually interview several candidates for our HC job? It’s an incredible source of intel.

I’m just going to start talking as if Drake Maye is already on our team.
Pretty sure starting a thread like someone did back in the day welcoming Chase young, will get ya banned lol

Is nobody concerned about any of these 3 QBs personality wise? I said before I want a culture shifting QB like Allen or Jackson and that goes far beyond what they do on the field (Herbert is a great QB, he isn't culture changing - neither is Lawrence and that's the difference). We know there are already concerns about Caleb's personality, Drake Maye is apparently a good kid who says stuff like "golly" but is very quiet and stoic and not vocal or passionate leader, and while Daniels is apparently jovial and approachable he's not the most fiery either. We need someone that guys will want to run through a wall for.
One common theme from the players when they were cleaning out their lockers is they needed more vocal and passionate leaders - basically there are very few dawgs on the team. Dotson, Leno, and Cosmi all said the same thing.
I was not anti-Howell but you very rarely saw him on the sidelines hyping up guys, bringing them together to give them encouragement, etc.
Excellent point. If the QB is your franchise, he HAS to be the leader. It’s an inherent duty of the position.

That’s called an exit interview, and the new GM will likely conduct itYou won’t get the same info in an exit interview

Interviewing EB should be a no brainer. Not for hiring purposes, but an opportunity to get a raw assessment of the talent we have among other things. Harris is thorough and meticulous.

Good read from The Athletic's Randy Mueller:https://theathletic.com/5183201/2024/01/08/michael-penix-jj-mccarthy-cfp-final/?access_token=6846337
Comparisons
For McCarthy, I see the upside of a Jim Kelly, if he were to be inserted into the K-Gun system of yesteryear’s Buffalo Bills. For younger readers, he’s a less polished C.J. Stroud, with major upside.
As for Penix, I’m dating myself again, but he reminds me of another Huskies great: He is a left-handed Warren Moon with an uncanny ability to throw the deep ball and instincts and touch that can’t be coached.
Penix has excellent vision downfield in identifying targets and reading coverage. His decision-making is solid, and because of his patience, he can let plays develop before he pulls the trigger. His anticipation and trust in his receivers and the system allow him to make some throws that are impossible to defend. You rarely see this at the college level. The word that best describes Penix for me is polished.
Bottom line
Trying to predict how Penix and McCarthy will be picked without a complete evaluation is really difficult. Their talent tells me they are worthy of being top-10 picks, but that will be affected by the quality of the draft at other positions as well. With certainty though, a college game of this magnitude will carry more weight than almost any other in the eyes of coaches and scouts. Bright lights are a big part of any evaluation. Teams will decide who is the best fit for their systems. One player might be more polished, but the other might have more upside. The order of QB1 through QB5 in this class is about to get interesting in draft rooms across the NFL. Get your popcorn ready.
The moon-penix comp is a really good one. Good eye

Daniels high sack rate and his less than stellar ability to throw off schedule scare me.

Are you aware Penix has tore his right ACL twice and had two surgeries on his throwing shoulder already?
Terry Allen had a nice run with us after his knee was destroyed and replaced twice. Injuries happen. I’d applaud his resilience instead of saying he’s an injury waiting to happen. I mean….every player is

Penix Jr is one Myles Garrett or Nick Bosa sack away from retirement. Don't see why any team would take that kind of risk in the 1st round much less top 10
To be fair, aren’t all the QBs? Or any player for that matter. It’s a physical game and injuries happen

I don’t think so but when you factor in that most thought the defense would be a strength, it has to be considered as the most disappointing

I think shadeur sanders can be top tier but you have to be ready for the circus that comes with that. I really like McCarthy but he kinda reminds me of Howell so why do it lol.

Tough call. If we beat the Jets and lets say are out of the top 3 QB sweepstakes.
I am still digesting the Wrs but I think Nabers might end up #2 for me. I love Bowers. And I like Fashanu better than some others here. Ditto Alt.
For example Nabers versus Bowers versus Fashanu -- I don't have a strong opinion either way.
Lets say we pick 6
Bears -- Caleb Williams
Pats -- Drake Maye
Cards -- Marvin Harrison
Jets -- Fashanu
Giants -- Daniels
Washington
That's my best guess that would leave Alt, Nabers, Bowers. If you put a gun to my head I'd take Bowers but its close. I'd trade down if I could.
Good depth at WR with Oduzne, Legete, mayne Coleman in a trade down. Ditto at RT with Mims, Fauga, Latham, Morgan, Guyton.
Given that draft scenario, agree 100% the pick should be bowers. However, I’m only taking bowers after I’ve solicited our pick for a swap, 2d or 3d and next years 1. Once and or if we’re out of the top 5, I think it cements Sam as the qb moving forward and the more picks we can accumulate to build around him the better

Wait wait wait… Guys guys guys!! Has Ron announced that we are eliminated from playoff contention yet!? Nooo I didn’t think so. Any talk of our pick is really premature at this point. I’m going wait until I hear Ron tell me we have been eliminated before I get my hopes up about an early first round draft pick.
sheeesh.
In all fairness, you ain’t wrong. 😕
buttttt….from the looks of everything, it appears off-season plans are made. We don’t have anyone vying for bonus pay realistically. Annnnnd, we’re the get right team.
I think we’re done. It shows and it’s not cool to see
