Discussion 2024 NFL DREAM TEAM Discussion
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
So, Malik Wilis is this bad QB who was QB3 at Tennessee and emergency-drafted by the Packers?
Wk.2: 12/14 -122yd - 1 TD; 6 - 41 yd - 0 TD
Wk.3: 13/19 - 202yd - 1TD; 6 - 73 yd - 1 TD
None too shabby.
Does anyone else ever wonder how much success depends on a player being on the right team with the right coaching?
And then there is Sam Darnold.
#3 pick in 2018 by the Jets.
A 3 yr failure there, then 2 yrs at Carolina and 1 yr at San Francisco with little to show for it.
Now with Minnesota in his first 3 games he's also been none too shabby.
53/78 - 657 yds - 8 TDs - 2 Int; 8 carries - 35 yds
Wk.2: 12/14 -122yd - 1 TD; 6 - 41 yd - 0 TD

Just 1 remaining, although the game they have chosen hasn't kicked off yet. Guessing it's the Bengals? @The Night Manager
Forgot there were two games tomorrow. 
Good luck. This technically continues throughout the season until you get one wrong, just to see how long you can last, but a win tomorrow will get you the win in our comp.
In the other comp I am in, there's nearly 100 who joined that one, there are only 3 left, with two of those on the Bengals tomorrow. Tough year!

Yep. I think there are (at least) three types of coaches.
The best who can adapt their game plan to their players' strengths rather than make the players adapt to the game plan.
Their ego doesn't get in the way.
Bellichick did it: won with a passing games, with a running game and with a strong defence.
Andy Reid seems to be another. Sure he's got Mahomes but last year it was the defence that got them through.
So does La Fleur. His whole game plan has changed with Malik at QB.
The next best who make the players adapt to their game plan but still try to play to their players' strengths. And they add/drop players whose strengths fit.
I think Ross Lyon is a prime example. In NFL? Maybe Payton, maybe McCarthy.
Then there are the coaches who, as I see it, want to be known to be good coaches: the ones who seem determined to win in such a way that they get the obvious credit: use odd-ball schemes, don't use the best players for their most suitable plays, play players out of position etc etc
I think Arthur Smith is one of these: note his use of Bijan last year - very few red zone carries and only 2 inside the 5 while the likes of Edwards, Mixon/Mostert had 20.
In the AFL I think Luke Beveridge is another.
