Spot on all the way. Build on the base we have do not destroy the good that was done. Add a quality starter QB, keep and continue to develop Zach properly and re evaluate prior to option time. Draft OL, OL, LB or Safety, and QB. Free agency is to plug holes either as starters or back up depth, OL, LB.
Greg Roman should be at the very top of the list. The guy's record is pretty outstanding. Even this year, when he got fired, yes, he had Lamar for 11 games, but Lamar did miss a lot of games and had no weapons. They finished 19th in points. 2021: 17th. Lamar also missed a lot of time. Here are his teams where he was OC: 2022: 19 2021: 17 2020: 7 2019: 1 OC for Buffalo with no good QBs 2016: 10 2015: 12 OC for 49ers with Smith and Kapernik 2014: 25 2013: 11 2012: 11 2011: 11 That's 7 out of 10 seasons as OC in top 12 in points. Only one year finished below 20. Developed late first round QB pick into MVP and got the best out of other mid QBs. Familiar with WCO. I hope Saleh gets him into the building ASAP and does not let him leave without a contract.
Chargers, Ravens, Bucks, for starters, solid if not outstanding QB play shit canned the OC for lack of results. Never mind injuries, key personnel retiring on the OL and not replaced, they became scape goats because they couldn't adjust. Mind you, each of their offenses score more TDs in one game than we did in five, Yet their respective Defenses couldn't step up one bit, no to mention dreadful HC adjustments and play calling. They canned the wrong coaches IMV. We were a lot closer that we thought with zero QB play from frankly all three in the final stretch. We have some great, great choices to upgrade our CS if we strike properly, Roman, Lombardi, Leftwich, for starters, have a far deeper resume developing young talent and experienced game planning given adequate talent. Their dumb move is our gain. Meantime, Bowles and Staley stay at the helm. The shit show firing of coaches extends way beyond the mystery of the NYJs.
My only concern about Roman is that I think the best QB fit for us is Carr, who isn't mobile enough to be ideal for a Roman offense. Nonetheless, if we can get him, he should be our top choice (not that I think he has any interest in coming here).
Alex Smith sucked as a 26 year old before Roman came to SF with 82 max rating. The year he got there, rating went to 91, then 104. Kapernik delivered great years, including 98 rating under Roman. Tyrod Taylor became a Pro Bowler under him with 98 rating. Took Lamar as a rookie and developed into MVP. He basically developed Smith, Kapernik, Taylor, and Lamar into the best QBs they could be. Alex Smith wasn't mobile. But it's OK to occasionally use your legs to get easy yards. This is what Jones is doing now. Carr doesn't have to become Lamar, Alex Smith didn't. To me Greg Roman is far and away the best choice that is out there. With someone like Carr, I actually think we may have top 12 offense too, like 7 out of his 10 pervious ones, and he can actually develop a QB. A no brainer hire if you ask me. I get that Ravens needed a scapegoat, but the overall results speak for themselves.
Alex Smith was more mobile than people gave him credit for; he averaged 4.5 rushing yards per attempt and 15.0 rushing yards per game, compared to Carr who's averaged 3.0 rushing yards per attempt and 6.0 rushing yards per game. But I agree, if we can somehow convince Roman to come here, we should hire him.
I think AR would actually take on the role of mentor in the twilight of his career to a young QB who idolizes him and is having trouble getting accustomed to the NFL. If he can win a SB with the Jets that’s a big accomplishment for the resume But if he can be a part of the development of a future FQB, that’s not something the other GOATS haven’t done. That makes him stand out. I think he might find that appealing.
Alex Smith was quite mobile.... That's what got him drafted #1 overall. Played the option QB under Meyer in college
the names previously mentioned are very iffy... would we consider Klingsbury? I would CONSIDER him... but am on da fence. same w/ Brady whod all that success w/ Burrow " The first coach who built the perfect offense for Burrow was Joe Brady. He joined the LSU coaching staff as the passing game coordinator..."
Roman found success with: Kapernick, Taylor, and Jackson…. Do we see a pattern? He was brought in specifically to develop an offense for Jackson!! What mobile QB are we bringing in for Roman to make sense here?
he can design a running game that’s for sure grab Roman, pound the rock with Breece Hall. Draft & develop Anthony Richardson for that power RPO offense to take over in 24
That might be the best possible option right now. If we could get Richardson and Roman do you know what he could possibly do with him I like this idea a lot actually.
"I can’t believe how hard it is to see that we are not far from becoming a solid all around football team." Not really Menace..We have and still have a good Defense..The Offense is a putrid shitshow of field goals and ZERO touchdowns As I posted earlier Douglas got a HANDFUL of talented players>>Sauce G Wilson Breece Hall but the big picture is we have stupid owner surrounded by a grifting Coaching staff who have not done a good job..oh and I left out a BUST franchise QB BTW you dont win games without points lol and without a decent coaching staff Douglas could have got us Brian Daibol. ..He could have got us D Peterson . Instead he gets Saleh and his nepotism with the LaFleur family Look at OC..who wants to work for these idiots ...Plus..who would join a staff who has everyone on the hottest seat to make playoff???Again when the firings of the present group come 10 months from now the dumb owner will know he had his chance
