I could get used to the team being run like this.

Simply go to Pro Football Focus and check out his stats for the year.  Trey Hopkins played with the same offensive line and put up way better numbers.

I think we'll see him improve each year. I don't know that he'll be a great Center anytime soon...but I'd settle for adequate next year.

It seems like there is just a difficulty in defending the mobile QBs that can also throw well on the run....(maybe not so much Jackson, but that was one game and I think a lot of it was game plan).

In McAdoo's only stint as an OC, his offenses ranked 10th (2014) and 8th (2015). He was so good he was promoted to Head Coach. Sure, he was a pretty bad HC, but we're not hiring him as HC, we're hiring him as an OC (maybe). 

Bevell is a fantastic candidate. He's coached top 10 offenses in Minnesota and Seattle. He scouted and coached up Russell Wilson. Brett Favre gushes over him all the time. 

Both guys are experienced and would be a huge asset for a young HC like Zac Taylor.

Joey Bosa, Mike Thomas, Zeke Elliott, to name a few.

Quick, name all the great QB's from Texas Tech before Mahomes.

A lot will depend on situation.

IF one comes here and we sit him for a year and address the offensive line and get him good coaching...I think they will be successful.

IF we draft one and rush him into starting and don't address the line...then they likely won't.
