sure man. that 2013 offense was fantastic....

either have a no nonsense coach like belichick who benches you if you keep making the same mistakes or get team leaders who are not afraid to get in other players faces when they keep screwing up. a requirement for either is that you at least dont make those same mistakes. it also helps that you have a dedication to the game that exceeds most ( lead by example) you need to be able to back it up.

do players play better with others that fit their strength or with players that dont fit their strenght?

read the 2nd sentence of the piece you quoted.

lol you actually believe the offense did well in that 2013 season? for real?

you do know he was the QB coach before he became the OC right? not to mention he was on the pats since the 2001 season orso lol. also pats ran 2 TE sets since the weis days lol ben watson and daniel graham ring a bell? it did not start with gronk and hernandez. it simply worked better since gronk turned out to be a once in a generation talent. you also do know that the cutler trade was more about those high picks the broncos got rather then it being orton vs cutler? he did not trade orton vs cutler. he traded orton and a kings ransom vs cutler.

coaches rarely leave 1 job for another unless its a promotion.

pretty sure when you watch back the all 22 film , you will find instances where our receivers where wide open but the ball never got there for various reasons. heck there has been instances where the receivers where wide open and they just plain dropped the ball. moore and perriman drops come to mind.... heck there are plays where receivers would appear to get open but flacco was to busy running for his life cause people where missing blocks or just straight up gotten beat bad.

People can learn from their past mistakes. Also Caldwell , Rex and Kubiak where are pretty established names before they came under Harbaugh. Rex pretty much came from the Billick tree and lost the job of a HC to Harbaugh and left as soon as he could. Caldwell is from the Tony Dungy tree. been his QB coach before Dungy became the Colts HC. Kubiak is from the Mike Shanahan tree since they have a long history which is why Kubiak left as the 2nd they came calling for them. Pagano is the only guy you can say is from the harbaugh tree TBH.

Based on what do you say they can get similar results? They only had 1 OC after Mcdaniels left and that guy ran Mcdaniels system with the QB that Mcdaniels molded lol. Where is your proof of people doing things different then Mcdaniels and getting similiar results? Matter of fact have you seen how O Brien has done when he left and took Mallet with him? Or now after he gave osweiler that ridiculous contract? Mcdaniels did a pretty darn good job with the likes of Orton. How has Obrien done so far?

yes. he now has a QB that can get the ball to him. he seems a lot more motivated and goes at full speed downfield anticipating the ball , rather then just doing a half butt job knowing he is just a decoy that wont see the ball coming his way.

risk is that he gets suspended again for a longer period.

so do you think a receiver has a better chance of winning when being put in a favorable spot or when being put in a bad spot?

if you want to hold players accountable , should you not at least have a clue about what you are saying? telling your player he should have taken the safety rather then trying to return a fumble is pretty idiotic to say the least. you cant just run into your own endzone and take a knee or go down and keep possession. if jernigan did what harbaugh suggested the jets would have gotten 2 points + great field position.......

we need high IQ players. those guys usually play faster and better then guys who have just speed and athletic ability.

if niners have a fire sale i want joe staley. hyde , reid or torrey would be nice to,

im suprised there is so little outrage about Harbaugh unjustifyingly throwing a player on the bus. people wanted pees head for far less. goes to show you how biased people are tbh. also its a safety if you willingly for no reason run into your own endzone and go down lol. might be wrong but the fumble happened around the 4 yard line and was recovered at the 3rd yard line give or take. he then willingly ran a yard into the endzone before coming out and fumbling. if he where to take a knee there it would have been a safety unless you could make the argument that momentum carried him into the endzone. would be a huge stretch tbh. not sure if i should be surprised or not that our HC does not know of these details .......

ow no doubt it had some impact and sure the o-line has been bad but yeah he has been bad as well. most probably feel that way as well overall i think more and more people are getting fed up with the constant excuses and blaming of everyone else tbh

they are just adding fuel to the fire TBH

get healthy

do you think a receiver has a better chance of winning when being put in a favorable spot or when being put in a bad spot?

actually they can create a better situation. changing a route or play or tell a player to go in motion can create the desire situation. not to mention adjusting the blocking assignments can create enough time to get the play off. when you have 4 wide and the defense still stacks the box with 7 , you are better off checking out of run. if you already know the coverage before the snap you can make adjustments that can create a better situation for succes. you can create certain situations with good preperations.

well yeah that is true but i did not want to go there for obvious reasons lol

another example: if a receiver beats his man off the LOS and is running down the field with a step on him man.if the ball is placed in front of him where all he has to do is catch it and keep on running he will look pretty good. if the ball is underthrown and the receiver has to stop and jump to try and catch it with the defender all over him , odss are it could turn into a drop or even pick. same example but lets now add a safety in the middle of the field. you throw that ball to the side line in front of the receiver and it could be a catch and TD you throw that ball to the inside where the safety is and you will end up in a heavy contested pass which most likely will end up in a pick, heck the timing of when you throw the ball can make a huge difference. usually a receiver is open for a brief second after he makes a cut in his route. if the ball is already on its way before he comes out of his cut then it will look as he is wide open which ofcourse will make him look good. you throw that ball to late and the defender has a chance to recover and thus will have a better shot at making a play on the ball and well people will complain receivers are never open.

uhhh its possible. Ball placement for instance can make a receiver look better or worse. lets use the slant with the defender in a trailing position: placing the ball in front of the receiver , so he can catch it and maintain momentum gives you a much higher % at a catch and YAC. placing the ball behind him increases the difficulty of the catch and usually ends in a drop. same with placing the ball at the feet. a jump ball is about the worst options to throw as you are hanging the receiver out to dry and a drop is very high to occur. now its pretty clear in which of these the receiver will look better and in which ones he will look worse. 1 he can look good with a catch and yac while the others he can be credited for a drop and the blame for the play failing.
