I think your ratings are a bit crazy for QB and general manager. The only flexibility they can create for themselves is if decline his option and give Darnold a tryout with the new coach. Is having zero quarterback but the ability to pickup Jameis Winston or draft Trevor Lawrence better than having Matt Ryan (former MVP, albeit aging) or Deshaun Watson? Also, our GM doesn't get a high grade like that until he puts a competitive roster together. He's better off left as an incomplete in my eyes as he's proven nothing other than accumulating picks and keeping the already good cap space open. Atlanta has a much better roster than us (the whole damn defense is hurt) and Houston at least has their franchise player. Don't forget the bad media market and the decade of losing that hangs over whomever comes here.
the roster is a 1. any new coach is going to have to come here knowing full well there is little to no talent on this team its an expansion team level roster in a city and a fanbase with expectations far more stringent than expansion franchises get. Its going to be tough to find a decent coach up to the task, I think.
True, but with 3 picks in possibly the top 34 and 5 in the top 100, as well as having 4 first round picks in the next two years and having lots of cap space next year, those top end elite players could be added quickly.
Well, in theory, they are missing next years first lol but I really meant 2022, which is probably why I got confused lol Easily done tbh
Well my QB score for the Jets is worse than either HOU or ATL so I mean I think I agree with you and I'm not sure what you're asking. The QB score is predicated on the likelihood of either Darnold improving, or if not a very high draft pick. The likelihood of neither of those happening is low in my opinion. You could make an argument for the score to be lower. As far as GM, it's a projection. Just realize that these scores are directly tied to the idea of "franchise desireableness" for a HC as opposed to an actual score compared to every other franchise.
The roster rating is a little high. It should be about a 1. Right off the bat having Q Williams as one of the positives should drag that score lower. He's part of the problem drafting defensive players every stinking year for a decade. Not even good defensive players. QW wouldn't even be mention. Now Becton is the real deal and that is why I like Douglas at the helm. Our last best first round pick besides Adams was Sheldon Richardson in 2013.
Right now, QW had a rough rookie year but in the firs quarter of this year he has stepped up his game and become impactful. His issues right now are primarily penalties, and that can be coached away. I am high on Q right now. Overall you could make an argument for the roster score to be lower.
I agree a new coach can wipe this roster clean pretty quit and reload it in their image for sure. I wonder who Douglas would like as coach? That is the most important thing right now. Who could he work with?
I agree he does some dumb penalties but I call that a trend and maybe he's not all there mentally. You could never coach that away. I hated the pick when it was made and still do today. Meatheads like him can be picked up off the street at any time. No way would I draft one of them.
Hopefully someone that can actually COACH a football team. I don’t care if they’re an offensive, defensive, or special teams guy, just get me someone that can be a leader of men. I’m hoping for Bieniemy, Matt Campbell, or Arthur Smith.
I think the QB score is too high even if it's better for the other two franchises. And I think a lot of the other stuff matters a lot less than the teams talent level and quarterback situation. Organizational structure and general manager probably matter some. Draft capital and salary cap situation moreso than that. But the Redskins have had a huge cloud hanging over them, especially over the past year, and I believe Ron Rivera was the first coach hired last year. Prior to this season he was 13 games over .500 while being forced into a bad QB situation without flexibility. There are only so many openings and I think the only time a lot of these things come into play when you're talking about trying to pull a Gruden out of retirement or a Harbaugh away from Michigan. Those big personalities will want the franchise to be in their control anyway. When you're talking about the coordinators we're likely looking at? It's going to be a race for all the openings to get Bienemy, Daboll, etc.
Rivera was first hired because he was released mid season, and Washington parted ways mid season. They had him locked up before most positions officially opened. If I were Rivera, I would have done the same but the situation was unique. These ratings really come down to if you can get the guy you want vs another team. Of th likely openings, I think the Jets or Falcons have the most desirable situation. The Jaguars and Texans less so. I think the Broncos job could be open and that one I'm not sure about.
How many guys do you think have two teams heavily after them? 1-2 an offseason at most? I think even that number is a bit high. Especially when there's no connection. I mean for example - Lincoln Riley. If we were to compete against the Cowboys, we just have no chance because of the local connection that has nothing to do with any of the things you listed.
Even if there is only 1, wouldn't you want to win him vs lose him? And honestly it's more about something to look forward to at this point. It's even too early fo FA or Mock Draft talk. What else is there to post about?
Nobody gonna give Max mad props for the most excellent Silence of the Lambs/ Buffalo Bill reference?!
I feel like potential coaches would be tripping over themselves at the opportunity to coach Trevor Lawrence. Getting the top pick could be the difference from being the best opening to possibly the worst depending on how they feel about Darnold or any of the other top QB prospects. Either way IMO they are a solid opening with a respected GM in place who has set the team up for a quick rebuild given the amount of high picks in the next two drafts and complete financial flexibility to build the roster to suit scheme.
I didn't question the validity of the top as it relates to the time of the year. I simply believe the assessment rates the Jets higher on the spectrum than they should be and I think that some of the categories are less relevant than others. So I think roster talent and quarterback is weighted way way higher. I don't believe we have a desirable situation at all as compared to Atlanta or Houston really.
Could understand Atlanta. Right now Houston has a weird power structure with Jack Easterby, and it’s something I would not want to be a part of. Also, Houston looks like a better roster but the truth is that they need to break it down and are closer to rebuild mode than it appears up front.
