Could lose a playoff run. Shedeur's big plays are awesome and a needed jolt to the offense. But the next time he hits his back foot and throws a confident pass will be his first. Can that be developed on the fly? Always been the looming question with him.

Great coach. Feel like people would be disappointed for a guy who isn’t experienced at a major school but sometimes gotta take a risk

Think Chesney and Will Stein would be the top names as far as younger coaches. Maybe Dillingham. I’d have to imagine they’d consider calling Tomlin and Freeman as well.

I’d like to have answers about whether it’s a talent issue or development/scheme. Because this year is unacceptable, so diagnosing that matters. Wouldn’t be upset at all if it’s deemed coaching

Ohhh yeah I forgot about him being there haha. And it very well might be true. Knowles might’ve been just as good last year and better this year. I won’t be upset either way but puts even more pressure on Day if Patricia’s back

Ugh I’m not far from being totally with you. Last year was just so impressive. This year? Makes no sense what we’re seeing. Is it all him? Talent/development issue?

He’s doing too much this year for sure and he’s been bad. But I think the talent gap is so large from last year that I’d understand giving him another year with a new group

Yes. The Arthur Smith experiment has gone as badly as expected. If Day is to come back, and he should be allowed to if he wants to continue coaching, then cleaning out 90% of the staff is a must. I’d be fine keeping Patricia for 2027.

Eh, we saw Watson go for more than Stafford. Desperation always exists. The key factor is how Herbert is viewed by the most desperate teams. We can’t know that today. As an outsider, I’m not super high on him

Right, that’s a roadblock and I don’t think Herbert is as well regarded as Stafford was. The trade offers may or may not be worth it.

Right so the question is whether a Stafford-like trade helps net the assets to rebuild those things vs paying Herbert and hoping the next front office figures it out

Yeah that’s a big reason why I think now LAC has to think hard about what direction to go

I don’t disagree, but they should consider whether this is a Stafford situation where it’s better to recoup the picks to build that cast for a cost controlled next QB

Not likely to be with this current front office and staff lol

I’m watching Cleveland and Minnesota as well. Cousins makes sense for each. Or if Malik Willis plays decently down the stretch, could he have value? Wonder how Davis Mills will be valued, too

Checks a lot of boxes!

For sure. Agree with ya

We seem due for some big movement right?

Not an eloquent description but makes a ton of sense and is my biggest thing with Herbert. If LAC ends up with the top pick, they need to think about whether Herbert is “good enough” with a great cast, ala Darnold etc, or if Mestemaker/Simmons give a better chance one day

Haha two great outcomes imo
