I believe Fields may not be the answer, but it’s clear as day that the kid is quite an athlete. He seems to be a teachable, mendable player that could easily excel at his postion if given a proper coaching staff. Eberflus and Getsy may very well have ruined the kid, but lets see what happens these last few weeks.
The staff is clear as day the biggest farce on this team (besides Velus Jones Jr). We have had two coaches fired in the middle of the season due to some sort of hush-hush reason along with having a bumbling idiot of a head coach in Eberfuls as proven by recent interviews (need I remind you of HITS?). Getsy hasn’t proven to be any wiser, with his ridiculous screen calls, run plays on 2nd and long, and negligent attitude by not playing to the QB’s overall strengths. Poles has done an OK job finding certain players, and the Carolina trade was an absolute fleece. But his Claypool trade for a second rounder, along with his clear lack of perceiving coaching talent, makes me question if he should stick around or kick rocks with the coaching staff.
It’s not a flex in the slightest to beat teams like Vegas or Carolina, but beating them with a rookie D2 backup proves that, despite what many people say, we dont have anywhere near that bad of a roster. I do think this roster has pieces that we can build upon rather quickly and see decent results if we had the proper staff. We’ll see what happens…but I’m cautious to have hope, because the problem may very well stem from ownership. Hopefully, I’m not talking to a brick wall here, lmao.
I think our offensive staff is terrible but defense really has taken a huge step forward lately. Giving up only 24 points to the saints. A team with kamara, olave and Thomas while your offense turned the ball over 5 times was impressive.
Look at what the Vikings are doing with fucking Dobbs…our coaching sucks ass. Can’t maximize talent for shit
Nah, it’s a pretty terrible roster. Zero dominant players anywhere and only a few who are arguably positional top 10 types. The staff is terrible yes, but so is the roster.
The reality is that we have a ridiculously bad coaching staff. They are all newbies at the job. They are capable of winning against really bad teams. Poles has down a decent job building a foundation, and i think a leap will happen after this draft. However, I am definitely not sure about the ability of Getsy and possibly Flus to utilize the talent. Getsy is far more inept than Flus bc we are top 3 in run defense since Flus started running the defense.
Bottom line is that it is abundantly clear changes need to be made with the coaching staff.
I think aside from that claypool trade I definitely like poles. Getsy neeeeeds to go for sure.
They are not the worst team in the league. They can’t even be bad correctly! /s
Definitely felt this way for sure. I think a great coach can cover up a bad GM, but a good GM won’t cover a bad coach. A lot of issues that are reflective of coaching have shown up more and more this year, even with a sizable improvement in the talent on our roaster
We beat the Panthers, Raiders, and Commanders this year. I don’t want to get too excited with those wins as those teams are also terrible.
