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.
