The rise and fall of Hue Jackson is so fascinating to me. He goes from OC to head coach, and then in the wake of Davis' death he decides to assume complete control of the franchise by making a crazy-ass trade for a retired QB.
Then when things spun out of control the guy lost his fucking mind.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
There was literally 10 days of a power vacuum for Jackson to make trades with no GM in place before the trade deadline and the guy decides to go all in with the wackiest and ballsiest trade in years.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago) link
He's a great play caller though; the Dolphins should hire him for OC.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 06:58 (twelve years ago) link
He might even be a good head coach! But he is not a GM, that's for sure.

sooooooo
schottenheimer jr out, sparano in? does it seem like every decision the jets make under rexy is geared towards making that franchise more of a carnival? next thru the door: favre at qb and one of tiki barber, curtis martin or oj at rb

If Peyton were to go to the Jets, NYC would be Manningville!

But as much as I'd love that, I'd hate it. I never NEVER want to see the Jets do well as long as Rex is coaching.

the jets hiring sporano is so incredibly baffling to me
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i like the guy and think he was actually a half-decent head coach, but the dolphins offenses were never particularly good. idk seems incredibly hasty.

have we already had the conversation about how Hue Jackson's first name is spelled

like, in mark sanchez's make or break year as a new york jet, who hasn't been an offensive coordinator since 1993 when he was calling plays for fucking BU
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
you a hire guy who hasn't been etc etc**
everything seems to suggest that theyre going to hire someone else for the passing game. because what they really need is MORE coaches.

Sanchez completed a league-worst two passes of 40-plus yards this season. By comparison, Tim Tebow completed three passes of at least 40 yards in the second quarter of the Broncos’ wild-card overtime win against the Steelers Sunday.
man, just when you thought they couldn't be any harder on Sanchez BAM, that's below the belt
― frogbs, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
tbh I always liked Sanchez, how can you not like a QB who wipes his boogers on his backup, eats hot dogs on the sidelines, then goes out and plays like shit

the bears are doing the same thing, but i can't tell if the passing game/running game coordinator thing is an okay idea or a terrible idea

Falx lose O and D coordinators. shake up maybe not such a bad thing for a team that needs to do something different to get to the next level. altho seems like problems might be more personnel related than anything else.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
wait what happened to their d coordinator?

really excited for the jags to have hired an o coordinator that is fresh off of being shut out by the new york giants in the first round of the playoffs
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 January 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
i guess their d coordinator really wants to be a college HC

that would probably be an achievement. i don't know if blaine gabbert projects quite to matt ryan's level.

are they actually sticking with Gabbert? like, is he above average in any single skill?

he's not as bad as brady quinn

jimmy clausen was so bad, dude still looked like a high schooler out there (literally)

I've been getting that feeling from Christian Ponder lately
― frogbs, Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
ponder was drafted too high but he's not clausen level bad
― tyga mother (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
i also wouldn't feel that great about having him locked in as my franchise qb
― tyga mother (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
hes definitely looked clausen-level bad starting with that game at Lambeau. just no awareness whatsoever. though I guess part of that may have to do with his injury (or injuries?)
kind of a hilarious subplot brewing in Minnesota now because Joe Webb looks way better than Ponder does now and could potentially fit really well with their gameplan
― frogbs, Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
I'll take Ponder over Gabbert or Clausen.

what about andy dalton
― tyga mother (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
Dalton is the best of that bunch but I wouldn't feel superconfident if he was my QB. They could use a better RB and more line help.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 12 January 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
exactly. having A.J. Green (who looks destined to be in the megaelite class with Fitz and Megatron) certainly doesn't hurt but IMO Dalton's ceiling is Chad Pennington, and in you could probably win a lot of games with him as long as you don't expect him to be like Rodgers and Brady.
― frogbs, Thursday, 12 January 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
no way would i lump dalton in with the rest of those jokers. he had a pretty damn good rookie season.
