RoadFan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Like most, I am excited about a young team and feel like the Jets finally, FINALLY, solved the QB problem. However, a lot of the success we hope for depends on Jeremy Bates. I just looked him up. Did anybody know he was not coaching football from 2013-2016? He took time away from the game. A litte unusual in this line of work, especially at his young age and for that length of time... He got back in just last season as a QB coach and now he is promoted to the Jets' OC? A position he held twice by the way. Once with the Broncos in 2008... and once with the Seahawks in 2010... but he only lasted one season with each team. Hard to know what and why the short stints but a little concerning nonetheless. I like the idea of a young, supposedly creative QB minded guy behind the offense... But I sure hope Bowles, and Bates, know what the hell they're doing... because there is clearly some risk here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I saw that recently too. I thought it was interesting and it was voluntary apparently. Not sure it makes him a risk though. Sometimes people just need a break and if you can afford to do so it can give you a different perspective and new life as you move forward. Either way I'm hoping Darnold long out lasts a few OCs... All we need from Bates at this point is to provide Darnold with a solid base to work from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-met57 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 For what its worth Bates was Shanahan and Mcvay before Shanahan and Mcvay...he is supposed to be extremely gifted as a schemer...whether he can run a team full of grown-up's? dunno...

At the time he was hired there were several threads about his walk through the mountains. T0m mentions it frequently. Yes, Bates is a risky hire. If he were a draft pick he would be a boom or bust guy. Pro-Bowl or out of the league. No question Bates is a smart guy, with a good grasp of how to run an O. It also seems he has a difficult time playing well with others. Perhaps his 4 year walk in the hills has settled him down. So far it all seems good.........We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 This is JMO. The Jets are in a fairly involved situation. They took a gamble on Bates as OC. They are going without a QB coach. Bates is going to do a double role here as QB coach to a VERY young, inexperienced, and talented QB, while being the play calling OC. That's a big job. The Jets future really depends on Bates doing his job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Any guy who needs 3 years to exorcize his demons is a risk, but he was here last year and didn't flake out Add to that the fact that he had been reunited with Rick Dennison to share playcalling like they did for Shanahan and I'm ok with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense in hiring someone new when you have someone already familiar with the system, the staff and the qb's I mostly agree with this, but I don't think it will be next year. IMO McCown is going to be the $5 M back up QB next season, (takes a lot of stress off Bates) and if things are going well, the QB coach in 20. As far as calling him "Mcclown" goes, he may have a very significant role in the Jets future. I'm actually pretty good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d bet my bottom dollar that we did not sign a QB coach because our plan is to have McCown take that over. By having McCown as a player he is able to talk to Sam when the actual coaching staff can’t be working with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
