Dan Quinn

[78]

It's about giving all control to a competent OC. Quinn does nothing with the O, it's all Shannahan.

Who hired him?

Yes and actually having talent on the offense as well. Seems they have a pretty good QB, line, runners and one WR who when healthy makes a large difference. Sort of like that team Tebow had. We don't have all that, if we did our offense would be much better even with the current QBs.

We've been reminded more than a few times of late that talent alone won't necessarily put up points.

Slow down there, bucko. You never saw EuroGator crushing it as a duel-threat QB in the UF intramural league. Some say maybe the best ever.

I didn't say Quinn wasn't a good coach or didn't make a good hire. Was just stating facts.

 

[NVGator]

It does help to have the greatest QB who ever lived behind center.

Driskel was bad ass.

You were and so am I re the notion that great defensive coaches can't put together teams with great offenses. You need a bright mind on each side of the ball. Another reason I think that if Mac doesn't see a fourth year, Strong, assuming he comes with a bright mind to run the offense, can come in here and make something out of it.

Sorry. Missed that. My bad.

Durty: What does that mean? Been here a lot lately, not that it matters. You guys don't want members/supporters? Jacka$$.

You can't be serious.

Yes I have seen places with talent that their coaches could not properly use. But I don't know which few times you might be thinking of. We have not had a complete offensive team since Tim left, at least according to me. I was at that last game and remember what that offense could do, all those NFL type players at many positions, and of course the leadership we have been lacking.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Who is Atlanta's OC? They have been hard to stop in many games.

Kyle Shannahan. What's funny about the Falcons situation is that the fans, and allegedly the Falcons offensive players especially Matt Ryan, were ready to run Shannahan out of town half way through the season last season. I guess the saying is true...winning cures a lot of ills.

I didn't realize Joe Montana had come out of retirement.

yes we were, but to be fair before this year Shannahan was an NFL version of Nuss. The offense is finally there, but 3 of our losses were because ryan went full Driskell in the 4th quarter. Quinn only had a few games this year that his inner Muschamp came out as well so that helped alot. The problem for them will be D in the playoff. 2-3 UFA starting makes things uneasy, but they are playing descent. Lots of the points they give up are prevent points.

It used to be Joe. Brady has surpassed him in almost every respect.

Yeah, realistically the Falcons should easily be 13-2 right now, maybe even 14-1 with a little luck. They've left several games on the field with boneheaded decisions and a rook job from the refs in Seattle.

I love you, Ox, but I don't love you for dissing my boy. Montana is the best ever.

Yep. seattle, San Diego, and Chiefs should have been wins. Dumb decisions in all the games by coaching and bad throws by Ryan cost them. Don't know any team that throws on first down with a lead under the two minute warning.

Quinn is the next Bellicheck! He has done wonders for team chemistry... Shanahan was suspect last year, but they are rolling now which is why I give Mac the benefit of another year... not his players and they did not know his system but we won 2 easts...

How many years do you think it takes to learn Butters' neanderthal offense? There are only 7 plays.
