The McDaniels Effect... Passing Numbers up across the board

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

I want Josh to be our OC for the next 30 years.

 

[PatsFan2]

I'll take another stab at this... maybe because he was Open.

@Pape you can't make this up.

we all have our binkies, and our anti-binkies... I was out on Mack Hollins at the start of the season... No longer, I'm sold at what he brings to the table... and its good to see Pop finding his footing in Josh's O... he's playing well now after a slow start

There are a lot of great QBs in this league. But many of them don't win.

You very rarely see a team without a brilliant head coach win.

It's more rare than a team with a bad QB winning the SB.

That coach, who you believe shouldn't get credit, came to New England in 1996 and turned the defense around, leading to a SB berth. We all saw it with our own eyes.

Same guy turned the team around in 2001.

I did not say anything about Bill. I laughed at the absurd notion that it's all the OC when it's clearly down to the QB who is playing lights out.

No Harry. No Thornton. No Mac
That's the big difference
Don't try to tell me otherwise

I have been noticing: Pop Douglas was the Guy we all thought would benefit most from McDaniels Offense. You can see he's definitely figuring things out: and could have a Monsters Second half starting on Sunday.

He’s playing about a dozen snaps a game. He’s getting free on extended plays. He surely isn’t a focus. He will probably lose time to Williams. For some unknown reason we keep trotting Hollins out there and every celebrates when he finally finds a cookie but until Williams is ready to take that spot, Douglas isn’t a better answer.
He’s a fringe guy who will play in certain packages and seems to have one talent, finding open space for off platform throws.

Weird take. Looking at things more as a whole, last year we averaged 17ppg, 30th in the league. So far this year we're at 25.5 ppg, 10th in the league. If you think that's something to sneeze at..

I don't think he was comparing Brissett and Maye, he was comparing Maye to Maye 1st 4 starts. Look at the weeks measured in the excel.

18 NFL trade deadline nuggets I’m hearing, plus the tush push’s kryptonite

With the Nov. 4 trade deadline just days away, is your team’s front office handing out treats? This is what our insider is hearing.

Nice blurb on Josh McDaniels' growth, towards the end.

Thomas Brown also an unsung hero in the offense success story.

Every moving part has contributed to success this year... thanks for posting that article

QBs have their favorite targets, no doubt... It will never be equal all around, but the distribution bell curve should flatten out a bit the more comfortable Maye gets with his reads...

Through Week 8 five different players have led the team in receiving yards (Diggs 3, Boutte 2, Henry, Hollins, Stevenson).

It’s not just the QB, anymore than it’s just the OC. Better blocking is where it starts, begin there.

Drake has time to throw. Drake was here last year, it didn’t matter.

Nothing in football happens in a vacuum. Drake doesn’t look this “lights out” without a better team around him. Horse/cart.

 

[VrabelJr]

LOL - You would think this place has learned a thing about giving credit to a coach for the QB's work but I guess not.

If only there were several videos of those very QBs giving heaps of credit to their coaches to help sway the doubters.

Wow our coaching staff is deep. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. Wonderful to go from last season’s Looney Tunes cast to what we have now.

Everyone's favorite Tom C says it's all McDaniels....

McDaniels typically creates offenses that are designed to take advantage of the strengths and mask the weaknesses of whatever personnel we have out there. He doesn't seem to get too attached to any particular 'way'. Not that he's the head coach, but you saw the same thing with Parcells and Belichick.

Most notable was Parcells, who completely shifted his offensive philosophy to accommodate Bledsoe's arm talent. I may be misremembering, but I remember watching Jimmy Johnson's Dolphins and wondering why the hell he insisted on running an Aikman style offense with Marino.
