Jimmy 2 Times Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Dak is good, but he’s not 40 million good. When you spend that on a quarterback he has to be able to elevate the team. His history shows he’s unable to do this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Dak puts you in QB hell, much like Cousins and anyone else who is a slight nod above game manager but not good enough to justify their huge salary. Pretty much why if you don't develop your own QB, youre hoping for wild card games and one playoff win max, unless you get extremely lucky, and hoping to get lucky is not a strategy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the tweet isn't wrong, but how many teams go after their top guys like this? They’ve been this way all along. Treating their top player, their most important player like a scrub. I don’t get it. Jerry Jones has been one of the worst owners in the NFL post Jimmy Johnson and somehow continues to get treated like he’s one of the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 131-87 - 2 in his career and is 1 of only 4 coaches to lead his team to the playoffs for 8 straight seasons, and he has a ring (Sure, with a HOF QB in Rodgers, but he has a ring) yet, here we are on this forum and people are nutting over trying to get Sean Payton and want to pay him 20 mil and give up a first round pick, when he is 139-84, has 8 playoff appearances and won a super bowl, with a HOF QB in Brees. They're also both 59. They're mirror images of each other. I think the McCarthy smearing needs to end. He should've been our head coach and reports said he wanted to be our head coach, instead, we want with the cheerleader who runs the stadium steps. Sean Payton has manned 7 of the top 35 offenses (by yardage) of all-time, including the # 1 overall. McCarthy takes loaded teams and pile drives them into the turf in big games. He mismanages the clock and routinely makes baffling decisions, such as putting Ezekiel Eliott at Center to get plastered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record in big games is very similar to Sean Payton's and he built the AROD GB teams and also revitalized the late stage portion of Favre's career in 2007. I wouldn't call him good at clock management and he definitely makes strange decisions, but his resume is nearly identical to Payton's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what the word “resume” means. What you are describing is that Payton has a much better “reputation.” And I agree. But they do, in point of fact, have very similar resumes (W/L record, playoff appearances, division titles, playoff records, SB trophies). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I don't think McCarthy is the bee's knees, but I do think he's way better than folks on this forum give him credit for. Meanwhile, I don't think Sean Payton is a bad HC, but I do think he's way overhyped on this forum. McCarthy is known to be a QB whisperer. Look at what he did with late stage Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and even the changes we've seen over the last two years in Dak. He's a strong offensive mind. His issues are definitely with clock management and in-game adjustments. Payton might be a better offensive play caller, but as an overall head coach he leaves so much to be desired. He had a stretch of years where he didn't even hit .500, and that's with a Mount Rushmore QB. That falls on the HC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is an actual argument. I disagree, but I can respect this opinion. To me, I think it's pretty telling how similar their resumes are over such a long period of time. McCarthy also seems to get no credit for developing Rodgers, while Payton seems to get a lot of credit for Brees, even though Brees actually had a really good year in SD before he even got to Payton in New Orleans. I don't think Payton is overrated like some have suggested, but I absolutely think McCarthy is underrated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since Rodgers didn’t get along with McCarthy and criticized him that the game has passed him by. First - Rodgers was only under Sherman for his rookie season (2005) and didn't start a game at all during his first three seasons (2005-2007). He started his first NFL game in 2008, under McCarthy (who took over in 2006). So, McCarthy coached Aaron Rodgers for all of his career starts until December of 2018 when McCarthy was fired. Before their relationship soured, Rodgers himself credited McCarthy with helping him become a good QB in the NFL. And Rodgers seems to not get a long with a number of people, so I'm not too worried about the fact that he doesn't like him anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Payton is overrated like some have suggested, but I absolutely think McCarthy is underrated. The issue isn't McCarthy vs. Payton which is a debate... But rather there is NO DEBATE WHATSOEVER of whether McCarthy vs Gase is the better coach, and scores of folks said NO to McCarthy, and yes to Gase out here, and now they act like McCarthy who wanted to work with Sam Darnold wouldn't have been a far better choice regardless of the outcome. Finally, Payton clearly has the superior reputation whether it is deserved or not is another thing. Indeed, McCarthy has no stain on his tenure like Bounty Gate and so on and that should be factored in. At the end of the day, Payton clearly projects better, is tied to Parcells and that carries some weight as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget guys like Mahomes, Burrow or Allen. We can’t even find our own Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott.

Im not convinced one bit that this current regime would have the ability to maximize Trevor. He sucked last year until they brought in Pederson. Trevor was a good prospect, but not Andrew Luck or the type of guy who was so talented he could overcome bad coaching. You need the right coaching staff, Andrew Luck types are once every 20 year guys, we won't get a once every year guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
