I agree to an extent. Salary cap management is highly overrated. But I think these QBs benefit greatly from having consistent, good coaching. Belichik won 11 games without Brady in 2008. The Steelers won 3 of they’re 1st 4 without Big Ben 2 years ago. Joe Gibbs won 3 SBs with 3 different QBs. I thinks that’s why NO is hesitant to give Brees what he wants. They know that Brees is in a great situation. I bet a lot of people would be surpised to see how Chase Daniel would fare in that offense.

No doubt. The NFL is Qb’s and coaching.

Not sure what I would put first… prolly QB though.

Chris,

Are simple enough to believe that an interviewee will never tell the truth?? You can’t say that Hue had the love of the players based on interviews of those players; they always speak falsely.

Look what happened to Hue when he really spoke truthfully at his befated last interview. He was fired as HC and had a very hard time finding employment; some suggest the only reason the Bengals hired him is because he dropped the “greatest trade in sports at their feet.”

The Mark Silver theory is blog filler completely based on hearsay evidence that Silver dreamed up. What would the new owner Mark Davis care if his father dressed him down at a meeting in which Hue was present?

Hue was totally incompetent, a lousy game manager, a self admitted liar, a braggart, and a “bully” who couldn’t back up his own words. Hue did nothing beyond what Cable had done with a much worse roster.

Most importantly, Hue carried AL’s disasterous taint, and had to go.

“I’m sure (Hue Jackson) will get an opportunity (to be a head coach) again some time down the road, because I think he’s a great leader and a great man, and I wish him the best.”
- Rock Cartwright
Team captain and two-time team CTE honoree

This is above and beyond a PC endorsement. It’s clear from the comments made by Cartwright, Seymour, Palmer, Ford and others that the team was very much behind Hue. Can we please put that “Hue lost the team” nonsense to rest now? It’s clear that we changed coaches for one of two reasons: Mark Davis wanted him out as Mike Silver hypothesized; or Reggie McKenzie wanted his own guy (as RM stated) that he could take credit for finding and hiring if things go well, rather than keep Hue and be relegated to a role of secondary importance.
