McD at the top of his game

Payton not in the top 10 is unusual, no?

Yeah, I am not that impressed with Bo Nix. At times and frequently in the season, he plays like a QB shouldn't even be on an NFL roster. I think with another playcaller and offensive coach, I think Nix would be mentioned more with Penix and McCarthy than Maye, Daniels, and Williams from that draft class.

McDaniels is a horrible head coach, but a great OC. He has done wonders with lesser QBs like Cassel, Jimmy G, Brissett, and Mac Jones. I think he is too low on the list. I would have him over Coen and Steichen. In fact, you could make an arguement that only Shannahan and McVey are better offensive coaches than McDaniels.

For many years McDaniels has been consistently outcoached against the better defenses in the league. Athletic defenses that are able to neutralize quick passes to the slot often stump him and you can see the confusion on his face and he doesn't have any creativity for the running game. If Tom wasn't "TOM BRADY" we would have been embarrassed against the Seahawks and Atlanta.

Our offensive line didn't hold up the entire playoffs but I thought with two weeks to plan that McDaniels would have a better showing in the superbowl but he looked completely unprepared. Maye's ability to run didn't even come into play. I put alot of our loss squarely on McDaniels. Ranking him in the top 10 is too high imo.

I will say this. Drake Maye had the most success against the Texans defense of any QB last year. Best passer rating and most passing TDs. Only the Seahawks and Jags scored more points on offense against the Texans last year.

His playoff record as OC is 21-9 (wonder how that ranks?), with 6 SB appearances (3-3).
