Yes, he has. Constant mental errors. He’ll get better. But when?By the way, Mapu has been awful this year.

Smartest man in America.One of my heroes is Thomas Sowell.
If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

When he did it with TB12 in the last Tennessee playoff game it was absolutely ridiculous.I was so angry with how that game progressed that I didn't even realize until i just heard it on 98.5, that Bill the coach took a knee with 25 seconds and three timeouts from his own 25 at the end of the first half.
Yes, I know Jones through a terrible interception, but this is just another example of this buffoon coach quitting on his team.
yup, pretty sure I posted the exact same thing during that playoff game...I've felt he's quit on his team for quite some timeWhen he did it with TB12 in the last Tennessee playoff game it was absolutely ridiculous.
And all of those were at the start of a rebuild with minimal assets.Please stop with the revisionist history. Without Brady Bill has 8 losing seasons out of ten and half of those came here.
The O-line of Brown, Strange, Andrews, Sow, and Onwenu will be pretty damned good, actually. They've been hurt, rotating pieces and trying to figure it out. I don't think the OL will be as big an issue next year (IF they re-sign Onwenu as their RT and replace or re-sign Brown appropriately).It's not denial so much as seeing how lousy most of the league is. I do agree that transcendent WR talent can cover a lot offensively too. I'm no big fan of Tua, and he is absolutely propped up by the weapons he has. Even good quarterbacks need a go-to guy, which is why Gronk was so important to Brady (and Edelman). So Belichick has to be aware of that.
But the overall roster is not nearly as bleak as Jones makes it appear (and the coaching, and the way the O-line has been)
Takeaway for me is that this team can compete sooner rather than later, but you need the QB (and the league is different now, the Penningtons of the world, who could have a bit of success back in the day, really can't now, defenses are too fast)
He's still a winning coach. He's won with virtually everyone he had at QB
The whole oaoch is more important than the QB is a narrative which has been driven by media and dare i say a lot of it since BB and Brady came together.If you're talking Andy Reid he had Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, and Patrick Mahomes.
If you're talking George Seifert he had Joe Montana and Steve Young.
Let's be real, we'd rather take ANY of those guys on our team right now instead of "popgun arm" Mac Jones and the afterthought QB projects!
When you look back in history it becomes obvious that the great QB is just as important if not more so than the great Coach!
These CB's minus Gonzo are not very good we have a bunch of overrated Back up CBs. JC Jackson will be out of the league soon he's not the same player who left here. Age is catching up to Jonathan Jones.
Yeah, the last two weeks, Purdy has made very costly and stupid INTs that helped to cost the 49ers the game. Yesterday, he did it on two consecutive passes. He had two costly INTs last week. In fact, he has had 5 INTs on the season and they came in the last three games where Deebo Samuel has been out and McCaffrey has been injured.
The NFL today is simple, you need at least one of the two - an elite QB or surround your mediocre or average QB with top talent. The Dolphins, Eagles, and 49ers do the latter and have been successful at it. But once you lose that talent, those QBs turn back into pumpkins.
They looked a lot better with Gonzo back there, a top CB can make a huge difference. Thery could have put him on Hill and doubled Waddle or vice versa yesterday.The problem is that thy don't have a Devon McCourty back there directing things. I know they sorta moved Dugger back there, but I've not seen him really directing the DBs the way that McCourty would.
Ahh yes. The king of revisionist history saying others are revsionist. *SMH*Please stop with the revisionist history. Without Brady Bill has 8 losing seasons out of ten and half of those came here.

Brown's supposedly playing hurt. Knee and foot. Was seen limping badly after the game.Brown did him no favors yesterday. Makes you wonder.
I think the team needs to consider drafting a left tackle with their top 10 or hopefully top 5 pick.
Are there any franchise LT's to be had?
I'm ok with picking one if there are. The Greatest Show on Turf got started by the Rams picking Orlando Pace first overall. It starts there.
This team is not one or two players away.
Thats not the point i am making. I am saying trading away dugger and uche and others isnt going to make us better next yr or two. Its better to sign some proven players then to get another 4th rounder for these just because we have to sell. Trading these players picks creates more holes which need to be filled. We dont have so much depth to trade these players.
Please identify the terrible starters we have on the OL.There are at least 2 in the draft. Unfortunately, our man @BaconGrundleCandy, has been swamped with RL and I haven't checked the Draft forum to see what others there might be.
Unless the Pats use a 2nd on Sweat or Young from Washington, I want them drafting bookend OTs.. They still don't have a swing tackle. Having a guy that would allow Onwenu back inside would be great, but not mandatory. Having that guy who can step in at LT or RT in the event of an injury is a must. Neither Lowe nor Anderson are those guys. Neither is McDermott. I don't know about Wheatley. What I do know is that they can't go another year with this s**t on the O-line. It won't matter who is back there for a QB, they won't have confidence in the line and they'll suck,.
