Waiting gets you a worst draft position and forces the team to accept the 4th or 5th best QB next year or you gotta trade up giving away all that draft capital you got in trading down plus more.
Just two more wins next year and the team is drafting out of the top 10.

These jackasses couldn’t get a top tier HC. I doubt they are going to pull off any big time draft trades.

So out of all the HCs hired, you don't think Dan was in the top tier?

Jim Harbaugh
Dan Quinn
Raheem Morris
Dave Canales
Mike Macdonald
Antonio Pierce
Jerod Mayo
Brian Callahan



I kinda wanted Macdonald (what do I know), but he's probably the only one I would have wanted over Quinn on that list. Harbaugh is intriguing but was probably never an option because he'd want too much control.

It's hard for me to say they didn't get one of the best candidates out there, and possibly the best.

Quinn and Peters have been in plenty of NFL draft rooms. I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.

No. Simple reasoning is he was plan B at best for every coaching vacancy available.

I'm warming up to him as HC if he can get an offensive guru.
End of the day, I was hoping for the next McVay/McDaniel brainiac type guy.

That rah rah bullshit only gets you so far. the game is too complex now.
A coach like Marty Schottenheimer couldn't coach in today's game without elite coordinators.
Dan Campbell was smart by surrounding himself with former NFL players and a spacing guru with McDonald. Unfortunately he made a rah rah meathead decision that probably ended their season.

I like Quinn with Chip Kelly.
I don't like Quinn with Kubiacs son.

If you want rah rah we should get Carroll!
Not that you want rah rah just sayin…
