Boutte Working With the Starters

Yesss really hope that comes to fruition. BOB Offense like BB's 2002 Coaching is a little dated to say the least.
Yes my man.. I'll try to get the link.. BOB had success in the NFL when he's had the talent at the qb position..
 
Cap'n I was trying to attach the link.. but there's an article that says BOB likely won't seek to return next season, as he'll probably return to college if not a NFL HC gig.
I'll say... this just feels, smells, for Mickey D to be back.. and this time he free courtesy of the raiders.

And we wouldn't have to pay him for Four years. Gotta admit his Offense is way more creative than the current OC. BOB don't let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bitt ya!

IMO, going by his interviews he doesn't seem very happy to be here.. I don't think I've seen him Crack a smile all season.. so again.. Mickey D will certainly be back next season..

Can you blame him he’s coaching QB with no special traits.
 
And this is where you'd be wrong.

20/21 season, three years ago...Boutte as a freshman started 5 games, played in 10, had 73.5yards/game (735 yards), 4.5catches/gm. Super promising, getting into the starting lineup as a freshman and lighting it up. He was thought of as the next great LSU receiver, of which there have been MANY in recent years (Beckham, Jefferson, Chase). They're like the old Penn St. for LBs.

Boutte played in 6 games his sophomore year (21/22), 2 years ago, and was doing BETTER, averaging 84.8yds/game, with 6.3catches/game. They were talking about him as a Biletnikoff Award (top WR) candidate - as a SOPHOMORE. He hurt his ankle, and when he came back the following year, ran into trouble with his coaches. Still played okay, but wasn't the same. Decided to go to the NFL and admittedly didn't prepare right for the Combine.

He plays a lot faster than his 40 time. You saw that on the one slant in preseason, where he caught the ball in full stride and made every correct adjustment at full speed to just leave the defenders behind. There isn't another WR on the Pats who can do that. TT has the speed, but his movement as he catches it has never shown that awareness and adjustment.

Now we have the typical BB system breakdown - as in, breakdown the rookie, humble the rookie, strip him down to clay to mold. It's a Navy mentality, and in this case, Boutte won't cut it. It won't work with him, just as it's been failing the Pats for years now. You get 4 years with a rookie. That's it. You need to know exactly what you have by the end of year three if you hope to re-sign him. How good is Uche, really? Who knows?

The Pats don't do that type of development. The Chiefs do that. The Bills do that. Drafted Kincaid - THROW him the ball, over and over again. He makes a mistake? Go right back to him.

People talk about BB's drafting, but I contend the worse part is the development, because he's still acting as if the team controls all destiny and as if the college kids will put up with his closed fist.

So here we have a kid who TWO years ago, not three, was on pace for possibly winning the award as the best college WR, in the SEC, and at the school best known in recent years for producing very top-end NFL WRs...

He didn't drag his foot. Punish him, bench him.

He complains, so leave him to waste on the inactive list. That'll teach him! Because, after all, this team is flush with true top-end NFL WR talent, right?

It's stupid, it's counterproductive, it's outdated, it's not fair to the kids coming in who have everything to gain or lose in the NFL, and it's not fair to Pat fans who have to sit through this offensive anemia game after game. Put the effing kids in there, throw them the damned ball, and see what you've got and what you need to get.

Maybe he flames out, or maybe (because the raw talent is there) he becomes the next in the line of Beckham, Jefferson, Chase...
This this this !!!! Bills old methods are not working. This is new Internet/mobile generation.

Need some mollycoddling or some tap on shoulders.. tough love and my way or highway doesn't work ....

No wonder we suck in new player dev.
 
Not at all.. when he was last here he unlocked gronk..
The one other year he was OC here he had Gronk, as you mentioned, Hernandez, and Welker along with prime Tom Brady. Oh and that was the year we brought Deion Branch back and he also had an up year. Then the offensive line had Matt Light, Logan Mankins, Marcus Cannon, Dan Connolly, Nate Solder, and Sebastian Vollmer. Oh and he had Woodhead, Ridley, Vereen, and Green-Ellis as the running back by committee crew.

Dude had an embarrassment of riches.

Then he went to Houston where the team was consistently stacked everywhere EXCEPT QB. And he never was able to get it going and win anything.

No clue why anyone thought he was the answer here.

Making me tear up LOL all that talent at basically every offensive position then.. compared to the crap we have now. Add in Moss was still on the team until midway through the 2010 season. We only went on to win 14 games.. man we were loaded. .. I'd say 2011 we were even more potent offensively putting up 33 ppg.

Crazy what a disaster Moss was in 2006. He supposedly dropped at least 7 balls in a 3 game span. 42rec/553yds/3TD in 13 games. Really speaks to how important the QB (and OL) situation is, imho, since Andrew Walter and Aaron Brooks (who was ~.500 winning QB for the 1st 5yrs with NO) weren't gonna cut it even with a Hall of Famer. Funny (not in a haha way) that the Raiders were also 2-7 at the time of this interview:

"Maybe because I'm unhappy and I'm not too much excited about what's going on," Moss said. He was screwing his diamonds back into his ear lobes at this point, polite and cordial as could be, so don't write this off as some angry rant.
