I think Jim, having one hall of fame career yield one SB win and another franchise QB's career significantly passed by with no SB by the time he is looking for a new coach, would go for a massive fish (Saban, Harbaugh, Gruden, Cowher) before replacing Pagano with one of the castoffs going from team to team.

ColtRider Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 21 hours ago, Gavin said: Sounds good to me. But what really needs to happen in my opinion is early on in games Chud needs to make it a point to try to get Luck some easy completion attempts to get Luck settled down and into a passing rhythm and to do that I'd make more of an effort to go over the middle of the field more with some crossing patterns and stretching the field with our TE's, That should also contribute to opening up the running game if affective. Not to worried about who the QB coach is at this point but going over some of Schottenheimers interviews he sounds like a guy that knows what he is talking about That is a great 1st paragraph. I think we're going to see a very favorable playbook that hooks into Andrew Luck's "total" ability. To me, I think the Colts have only unveiled a couple layers of the onion as it concerns him. Chudzinski, IMO, will expose the total package that this kid has in his Arsenal. Not being a homer here. The NFL will soon take notice of what really Luck can accomplish with a wide and diverse offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More te to my orginal point, there is more than one way to win in this league and the Colts found one once. No reason they can't again without having to become New England 2.0.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. It is not irrelevant. It was a pivotal moment in the game which led to our eventual loss (not to mention on prime time national television and between two teams, the game of which had been hyped up since deflategate started). All those things factor in here, and 2 of the 3 have nothing to do with the actual game itself. Had Philly lost by 3 or less, that would have been on blast being a huge rivalry game (does anything ever go unnoticed in Philly if it changes the outcome of a game?), but it wasn't. And that's largely because it didn't ultimately affect the outcome of the game. In fact, this is the first I'm seeing this play (I didn't even see a thread dedicated to it either). Anyhow, it's fine you think it's irrelevant, but I say it absolutely is. Some of the craziest plays in football lore, good or bad, attain the status because of the affect it had on the game and the high profile nature of the game itself. The Colts stupid snap against NE and the kneel down by Kirk are no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the history or buildup is relevant but the Redskins were playing the Eagles. There's a lot of history there. If you want to argue where the game was, well, the Cousins knee took at least 3, if not 7, off the board and that could have cost them not only the game but the season as well.

Exactly - you can look at any play in a vacuum and compare it to another play in a vacuum, but that's just not how it works. It's like saying a 50 yard TD pass in the first quarter to tie the game is just as amazing as a 50 yard hail mary pass as time expires to send the game into over time and each would be viewed equally by viewers. That is just not the case peopel's reaction on social media and the media's reaction in their articles should bear that out completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately winning the game makes people forget, but if the Skins had lost as well that play is talked about up there with the fake punt because it was equally dumb. The one thing I will say is that the Colts practiced their stupid play and still funked it up, whereas, the knee was all on Cousins. That's a strike against the fake punt.

Well yeah, it was a pivotal point at that very moment in time, but it ended up essentially being meaningless to the outcome of the game. To the bolded, that's all I'm really trying to say. If you showed only those two plays to someone with an average football IQ who didn't see either game or know anything about them, it would be a tossup as to which was worse. Put it in context of the entire game and people's opinions will sway toward the Colts fake punt. Whether it's right or wrong, I think it's just how poeple view sports, always with the benefit of hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunk Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Andrew has two top level OC in Chud and Philbin he can turn to on offense to go along with a QB coach in Schottenheimer that also is a former OC. If the offense stinks this year I'm really going to be angry because there's just no excuse this time around. As long as Andrew is not injured this offense should be no less than top 5 especially if we get the line fixed like I think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthetic Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not sure I like this signing. I don't see Luck as a pocket passer. He is more of a throwback 90s mobile quarterback, along the lines of Favre, Young, and Cunningham. Schotty will probably try to turn him into a pure pocket passer the way he did Mark Sanchez at NY. Those Jets teams had some controversy over time with him where he quit running the ball and was asking Sanchez to throw it 40-50 times, when it was clearly evident that Sanchez wasn't the type of QB to put that kind of pressure on. I hope this don't blow up in their faces, but I can see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However on the flip side, chud is still the OC and he worked with cam newton, tailoring the offense around newton's athletic ability and mobility. And the Sanchez throwing the ball 40 to 50 times per game point really isn't relevant because shottenheimer won't be calling the plays...chud will.

I hope this don't blow up in their faces, but I can see it happening. Here's what one of the NFL's top scouts said about Luck coming out of college: "[Andrew Luck] is a prototypical pro-style quarterback who can make all the line calls, formation shifts, pass drops, and throws necessary to be successful at the next level." Also, all NFL QBs (including Cam Newton and R. Wilson) are trained to be "pocket passers" first. Just because a QB has "plus" mobility, does not mean he is not a pocket-focused, pro-style QB. Luck ran a pro-style offense (i.e., an offense where the QB is under center, making drops, and passing from the pocket) at Stanford as well. He was never, nor will he ever be, some sort of zone-read QB. And at 6'4", there is no need to roll luck OUT of the pocket because he has the stature and mechanics to throw in the pocket. If anything, Luck throws better from the pocket than he does on the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
