***The official head coach search thread***


Quote:How will a HC be "forced" with Bortles? Did the GM not come out and said no one is safe on this team? You really think Caldwell is going to make a HC come in here and use a QB that may not be the answer and cause him to lose his job? No, just no. Also, if you seriously think the clock will only start for SF once they get a QB you're wrong. He'll get 3 years, more if after those 3 years he is worth keeping around. Not many teams give a HC as much time as we gave Bradley. There's a reason there was so many people talking highly of Khan and his patience, and every article you read about the Jaguars HC situation is how it's ideal because the owner is more patient than most in the NFL.


If the HC and this team suck for the next two years, why the hell would we want to keep them anyway? Like Seriously?


You go ahead and think whatever you want. You are seriously wrong on Tannehill. He was replacement level bad just like Bortles was much of this season. They sought out an offensive mind that they thought could "fix" him, they did just that, and now they are in the playoffs. That exact sitaution is very possible here.


Being a natural thrower of the football has nothing to do with it. He's never going to be a naturual thrower of the football. He wasn't last year when he threw for over 4000 yards and 35 td's. You don't need to be natural to do well. You think Rivers has a normal throwing motion? His mechanics were fine all of 2015, he worked with House early after the offseason last year. So yeah, I'd imagine his mechanics looked just fine. Then, while working with the Jaguars receivers and away from House, they began deteriorating and THIS coaching staff allowed it to happen. He can't fix it himself, any half way decent offensive coaches wouldn't allow that. They didn't need a ton of work at all last year. Last year his problem was decision making and trying to make things out of nothing, which are things most young QB's do. You don't need perfect mechanics to succeed in the NFL.


Because Caldwell is linked to the hip with Bortles. Realistically Bortles is the starter next year unless we draft a QB high. Yeah I do. Clock will start when they pick a QB high this year or next year , if the QB shows good growth the HC will stay longer, its not that complicated.


Yeah that's what happens with opinions my man. I like Bortles and hope the same happens , I'm just skeptical he will ever develop into a good QB.


Point being Bortles knows he needs to work on his mechanics as much as possible. He didn't do that. Rivers has a strange motion but is HOFer who wins in every area of the field with his throws, Bortles does not have that luxury. What do you think House told him to do when they worked with each other this offseason? Do you think he told him to just let his mechanics regress or do you think he told him to work his [BLEEP] of and have them ready to go for the start of the season? I'd wager the latter.


He doesn't need them to be perfect , even average mechanics will do. When you turn the ball over as much as Blake does and consistently make mental errors you need to be able to rely on your arm. We saw what happens when Blake doesn't have faith in his arm.
