Quote:He'd be a great fit based on what?  His past play calling?   His ability to craft an offense that will allow us to develop Bortles? 

 

I like Bennett as a position coach.  He's nowhere near ready to be the guy running an offense, IMO.  With a young offense that has some of the youngest skill players in the NFL, this team needs an OC who has the background to coach this unit into an effective group.  I don't see where Bennett has the seasoning to handle that responsibility. 

 

I understand the concern, but if you're looking for an experienced coordinator that has had success calling plays and
developing a young QB I believe you're going to be disappointed. There are not too many candidates available that can claim they've done such a thing, maybe a Bill Callahan or Rick Dennison?  Both of those guys are surely hot commodities so there's no guarantee they'd come here, Edgar Bennett has coached under one of the brightest offensive minds in football in Mike McCarthy, MM speaks highly of him. Ben Macadoo didn't call plays in GB and had a lot of success coordinating the New York Giants offense especially as the season went along, I understand he has a veteran QB in Eli Manning but you can't discredit the job he's done. Also, as I mentioned earlier the Jaguars have similar skill players to the Packers, it'd make sense to implement an offense that took advantage of Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson strengths, both guys were lauded for the YAC abilities, the West Coast offense emphasizes YAC. I believe the Jaguars OC target is currently coaching in the playoffs, when you start to narrow down the candidates Bennett makes as much sense as anyone else, just my opinion.
