Definitely Pep was better than Chud.

You mean the OC who kept dialing up 7 step drops and getting Luck hit because he never would give up on a play? Never ran a draw or play action, ever?

Absofuckingloutlynot.

Killing me Smalls, ..

So Pep sucked less than Chud?

yes.

I wouldn’t mind Harbaugh, although he wears out his welcome after a while.

I can’t help but think Irsays meddling this season will cost us a shot at some of the better candidates.

I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see Saturday brought back, which I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with so long as we get a good offensive coordinator and draft a damn quarterback.

maybe I am wrong but I just dont want saturday as HC.

I'm not sold on Saturday either. If he's interviewed, I think a lot will hinge on his OC/DC preferences and whether or not he wants Bradley back.

I will say that his simplifying the offense mantra is holding the offense back a little.

His first year as OC

Luck 23 TD 9 INT sacked 32 times 11 different receivers had TDs

Went to AFC divisional game got beat by the cheats.

Next season #1 passing offense in NFL

Luck 40TD 16INT sacked 27 times

Fleener and Allen 8 TDs a piece

Won AFC South both seasons

Lost to ball flatteners in AFC championship

In comparison to after pep 7 games sacked 15 times

2016 he was sacked 41 times

As another comparison the best QB in the league was 37TD 13INT sacked 28 times (Mahomes) last season

All QBs take hits especially the ones that buy time to make the big plays. When you take that away they’re not the same player

I've never been able to wrap my head around the idea that Jeff Saturday is the realistic option going forward. The only thing that keeps me from writing him off is the level of undermining authority that Irsay has engaged in this season. Guys may not be interested in coming in or Irsay may not be interested in not being appeased.

In a vacuum, though... this thing is still too weird. No interview, no staff, no system(s)... how could that be the guy you like and not just a fill-in because you were desperate to get rid of your HC?

It's hard to even speculate about the draft or anything because we have no idea who will be here. I think I would be equally unsurprised whether we A.) have very little turnover or B.) completely gut it all, even sell all our players for a shitload of capital, and go Texans-mode for Williams in '24 and start over.

No idea.

You're not wrong.
