  2. Given that the QBs were not doing well the first seven games of 2025, I think this is going to be really bad. Please, please prove me wrong! HTTC!

  4. Idk why the fans are so split with this. They said that they were going to hire from with in. So what is the issue? You never seen the guy play calls. But yet he was highly sought after. Keep that old way of thinking over there. The team is being ran by professionals now.

  8. Listen this is hit or miss but I’m all for it I’ve been saying on all commanders platforms we need young blood because those guys are more innovative take a look at the playoffs it’s ran by the young guys. It’s going to be tough but i would bet every penny I have if Washington did not hire him the lions would have and we could have another Dan Campbell Ben Johnson all over again

  9. McVay had a solid year his first year, Moore had a solid year his first year, Shannahan same thing, Ben Johnson same thing. They all took off years 2 and 3 though

  10. Grant, you’ve absolutely smothered this story. The only media voice who jumped off the McDaniel train early to get behind Blough. I usually feel Logan carries your program but your analytics are front seat on this one. Congratulations to you. I agree that proximity is important in this calculation. Daniels evidently likes Kingsbury so if a move had to be made, and it did, picking someone with whom Daniels has a relationship is a plus. Related to that, both Daniels and Blough are said to be high IQ guys so probably vibe around strategy and scheme at that level. I agree that this pairing has high upside and in my opinion without a low floor. A couple of other thoughts: AP and DQ built this staff with an eye to continuity. It may not have evolved the way they planned, but they were still positioned to follow their strategy by keeping the progression in house. And finally if DQ for any reason doesn’t make the next couple of years work, Blough is ready to be the next young Sean McVay head coach phenom. Like you, regardless of how it turns out. I prefer this swing for the fence than a Snyder-Rivera-Bienemy like convention.

  11. You got it all wrong. You have to pay attention. David Bough 💥 was on their radar as an OC over a year ago. This wasn’t a reaction to losing this guy. This was a back up plan they wanted to pull the trigger on before the season even started
