I didn't even bother responding to it because the answer is obvious. Jared Goff didn't suddenly become a worse QB because Zac Taylor left. There's clear reasons to explain the decline in numbers. 1.) Todd Gurley's injury. Todd Gurley went down with a knee injury late in the year. He's never been the same since. He was easily a top 3 back in the league, and one of the best receiving backs as well. When you lose that level of player and replace them with Darrell Henderson/Malcolm Brown it's going to change the look of your offense. 2.) Brandon Cooks' concussions. Cooks suffered yet another concussion early in 2019, missed time, and he too has never been the same player since. He was a 1,200 yard 10 TD receiver in 2018 and that player was lost in 2019. The Rams whole identity was the 3 headed monster of Cooks/Woods/Cupp to pair with an elite Todd Gurley. In 2019 it was basically a two head monster of Woods/Cupp with a Cooks and Gurley who were shells of themselves. They lost two Pro Bowl level players worth of production from their roster. 3.) Deteriation of the Offensive Line. In 2018 the Rams had the 5th best Offensive Line according to PFF. In 2019 they had the 31st best Offensive Line according to PFF. They lost two starters after the 2018 and replaced them with younger unproven, cheaper options. Andrew Whitworth finally showed his age, got worse, and then finally got hurt this season. This group went from elite level to one of the worst unilts in the entire league in 2019. 4.) Sean McVay's offense. Everyone had a full year plus an offseason to figure out how to counter Sean McVay's offense. How many times have we seen this? (We're seeing right now with the Ravens for example.) Sean McVay was a wonderkid in his first year as an OC. But give all of these other coaches around the league a full year of film to study and full offseason to figure it out and usually you're going to see some regression. Conclusion: It's real easy to look at it, and say "Jared Goff got really bad when Zac Taylor left". But when you consider that his OL went to shit, he lost a 1st team All-Pro Running back who was a weapon in the pass game, his 1,200 yard receiver fell off the map, and his HC/OC's new and exciting offense isn't so new and exciting anymore, then you might come to realize that Zac Taylor has little to do in any of this. In fact, he never did to begin with.

Eh, I dunno.
After marvin, I agree. We had a crap roster and a 2-3 year rebuild. That's unattractive to a coach, especially considering we were a franchise with a history of limping along. But we've got burrow. We've got a handful of younger players. We're going to have the third overall. If we part ways with ZT, I think we've got a few things to attract a good coach. Plus, we've got a track record for the long term.

Josh McDaniels got a head coach job. Decided, f that, stay an OC and get that ring. A shot at being a head coach and failing can destroy your NFL career. As hyped as players can be, coaches can have all that hype and just fall flat as a head coach. "I used to be an NFL head coach" is not exactly the most honorable thing out there. The absolute bests are current, dead or have ended on a bad note.

Remember his pocket awareness in the preseason last year? Finley seriously does make me miss AJ McCarron. People were foolish for demanding he should start, but he is a legit NFL caliber player.

What is wrong with you people!? What the **** has Zack did ever, to even give you a smidge of confidence in him? RIDICULOUS!!!

Zac was getting plenty credit for improving the Ram's Offense to such a point that they made the Super Bowl. I personally didn't like the hire because I wanted someone more established and I thought Marvin was getting all he could out of the team; but Zac fit the young Offensive guru mold that was all the rage in the NFL. He was so hot no one else even interviewed him...

I have zero faith in Taylor at this point but as always, we're blind as to what he may have wanted, but wasn't given. There's simply no forgiving putting Burrow behind this garbage offensive line and anyone involved should be fired. The results were entirely predictable.
I think it's probably true that we're limited on coaching prospects to long-shots and nobodies. Most retreads will have better sense than to waste their last gasp under the Brown family. Maybe they could bring back Marvin Lewis in a Front Office role and that could take some of the stink off dealing with the Browns.

You lost me. It started out how the Bengals, if there is an open spot, might be enticing to a coach, because, in part, of Burrow. You said there's a lot of good QBs in the conference. I'm not seeing what one has to do with the other if you're not inferring that every team with a good QB is going to dump their HC?

It’s possible a few coaches that’ve been in demand have passed but there’s only 32 of these jobs and several qualified -even if they’ve been proven unsuccessful -candidates ready to prove they have what it takes. Often times candidates are over looked for years- so when the opportunity presents itself- you pounce. That’s what success people do. We just suck at recognizing moxie or we down right despite it. One of the two. Ol Hue Jackson learned a very valuable lesson about pouncing on an opportunity to coach a really shitty team. People are all over ZT, and rightfully so, but they apparently keep forgetting that Marvin had 3 consecutive losing seasons with these bums. This team sucks, the management sucks, there's only 3 or 4 legit players on the whole roster, and two of them are rookies. This isn't a very attractive opening....Kevin is right on that.

A lot of the top assistants on a team would likely come here. Burrow makes it attractive. To be fair, the talent added you alluded to has spent an unprecedented amount of time on IR. Yeah, "injuries", but you can't not mention them and the FAs added together. Wayne's missed all season, Reader most of it, Alexander missed quite a bit of time, XSF missed most of the season, I think the only one that didn't was Vonn Bell, and he played pretty well. You gotta be transparent. "Better send those refunds..."

It's telling that the Dolphins switching to a Cover 2 threw him off so much. I thought you couldn't blame Covid. "Better send those refunds..." |
