re: Jimbo can’t coach

So, having had a good or even competent QB this year would not have made a huge difference in how the season went?

That thing we didn't have in year four of the $100 million offensive guru and QB whisperer???

Yeah, it could have made a difference but it might not have b/c the problems go well beyond the QB position. FOr example, play calling was awful in key situations all season long and that's not a new thing that cropped up just this year.

The first 3 years had many of the same problems w/plays getting in too slow, confusion between the QB and WR b/c of the complicated nature of the offense, plays getting called that don't fit the situation and then essentially waiving off any blame by going "Oh well that was an RPO" as if that makes it ok, completely forgetting players like Achane and Spiller exist for entire 4th quarters of close games, refusing to break from his precious RB rotation regardless of how the RBs are actually playing, abandoning the run right as it starts to pick up steam, putting the game on the shoulders of a shaky QB who has terrible mechanics instead of coming up with creative ways to get the ball to skill players... I mean damn, when was the last time Jimbo ran a play that surprised the hell out of you with it's design and implementation?

Before we would go "Oh well that's just Moon Moon Mond" but now that the same shite is going down again? Sorry. That's a systemic coaching issue that can't be fixed b/c Jimbo is never going to change his offense, he's never going to give up play calling, and he's never going to deviate from his charts. I hate to say this but he honestly reminds me a bit of Mazzone w/how bad he is when it comes to calling plays w/in the flow of the game.
