Announcing the Super Bowl, getting rave reviews, favorable comparisons to the former Golden Child, and THEN demoted behind a rookie. Yeah, that agent needs to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Gotta say I'm quite happy it appears Kafka & Wink will be back in NY now. Those two & Daboll had some mojo I think they can improve on. And Kafka was the Daniel Jones whisper-er. Hopefully since they didn't land the HC jobs for Arizona or Indianapolis they'll return and keep it rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it, it makes no sense for either party. Trades can’t be finalized for a couple days yet, right? So the Raiders ran the risk of having another team verbally agree to a trade, keeping Carr on the roster and having the $40 mil become guaranteed, then seeing the other team back out a few days later when it came time to sign the paperwork and make the trade official. Granted, teams don’t bowl out of trades that often, but it has happened. Trade only made sense for Carr if he thought there wasn’t a market for him and he’d end up signing for a lot less than $40 mil. That doesn’t seem to be the case. I kinda want Rodgers to step out of whatever cave he’s in for his darkness retreat and find out the Packers decided not to wait and traded him. Though other GMs are presumably too smart to trade for him without some assurance he’d actually play for them instead of retiring. I’m a fan of Rodgers the player, but the will he-won’t he drama has worn thin, as has the whole thing with the psychedelics and the darkness cleanses and whatever else. As someone else said, most qbs would get torn to shreds if they talked about shrooms and pilgrimages to the desert while their play was declining. I don’t even think it’s a race thing. What would we say of Jimmy G or Kirk Cousins announced they were going to go sit in the desert to do some shrooms and commune with crystals? Rodger strikes me as a shallow guy, so his counterculture deep thinker routine makes me laugh.

It's not selective to say, "dang, that's not very many". Yeah, he cut down on interceptions and his completion% went up. All that is wonderful. But a "quarterback whisperer" should get better than <1 touchdown and 200 yards per game from his fourth-year quarterback.

His TDs were down, but look who his receivers were. How many TDs can you realistically throw when your WR1 is Richie James? Every stat improved except TDs. I stand to believe his TDs would have been up if he had better receivers. Saquon playing well, the O-line being improved, the coaching... they're all factors that helped. But Kafka got him into the zone multiple times with the play calling. Got him rolling were he wasn't throwing TDs but he was stringing 8 / 9 completions in a row together. He was making the right calls on read options. He was scoring rushing TDs. I'd consider that a Jones whisper-er. But that's up for interpretation.

I'm no Daniel Jones defender, although he seems like a nice guy, but he had no WRs to throw to and with Barkley playing well, it made sense they'd be running more. That's not a reflection on Jones, but on the play-calling and the circumstances around him. That stat would matter more if his Red Zone percentage was terrible or something, showing they were calling passes and he was just failing at it. But his red zone stats were 65% completion percentage, 12 TDs, and 1 INT. Poor Jones. No respect. Where is Rippa to defend his franchise QB.

RIPPA Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 It appears Tampa Bay is hiring Seattle QB coach Dave Canales as OC Meanwhile - there are reports that Rex Ryan is the "top choice" to be the new DC in Denver. In the meantime, they have also requested to interview Vance Joseph Also - Eric Bieniemy is interviewing with Washington today for their open OC job. Many believe it is a done deal that he will join Ron Rivera's staff. If he is stupid enough to leave KC for DC - I will believe every single reported reason why he hasn't gotten a HC gig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Going to a place where it is almost certain the head coach and staff will be blown out at the end of the year (because they suck and/or a new owner) is not ideal.

Cobra Commander Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Commanders sure do love talking to the media if the play by play of Bieniemy interviewing is any indicator Ron Rivera has had 4 offensive coordinators in Carolina and DC. One has become a head coach (Rob Chudzinski, for a year in Cleveland), the others were Mike Shula, Norv Turner, and Scott Turner. That’s slightly less promising than the recent Commanders history with offensive coordinators where Sean McVay became a head coach and a few more OCs are head coaches now with a job or two in-between being the Commanders OC and being an NFL Head Coach.

RIPPA Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Per his agent - Bienemy is taking the Washington gig Apparently (besides a large sum of cash) his title will be Assistant HC/Offensive Coordinator (so it will seem like a promotion) and he apparently will be able to pick his staff.
