    Not compared to other places he was at. Tomlins winning seasons would have continued, it was a system that was good for eking out regular seasons wins with poor QB play.

    If you can't identify that Canada didn't belong in the NFL, then I don't know what to tell you. He never worked in the NFL before....and he won't work there again. He was that bad. I was talking about his offenses when he was here and routinely describing how certain stuff couldn't work. There was no creativity.

    They didn't fail each other. Canada failed...period. So did the people that hired him and left him in place for as long as they did.

    This isn't arguable. His offense wasn't NFL-level and he was a failure. No quarterback played well in his system....Not a single one. Only after he left did the offense get better, and that was when two coaches already on the staff tweaked the playbook as much as they could while still continuing to do their regular duties with the team. And the offense improved with him gone. If that doesn't spell out how bad he was, then I'm not sure I have any other way to explain it.

    Why is it so hard for you and certain other here to admit that Matt Canada was the issue. He was the professional and the coach that designed the offense and couldn't even put together route combinations that worked together to create separation on a regular basis? He didn't understand or use some common schematic design with modern offenses and incorporate much into his offense. The offense was simple, outdated, and was of poor design. He also sucked as a play caller. I would say it was the trifecta of suck, but he failed on much more than three of his missions as an NFL offensive coordinator.

    Kenny Pickett was a rookie that got thrust into this situation only four games into his career. It's the coach that's supposed to help the young player, not the other way around. Then he wouldn't work with Pickett or coach him directly. So one quarterback already failed in his system and a rookie is getting thrown in there, and he's not going to try to explain concepts and try to incorporate what the young quarterback does well and pull back on the stuff he doesn't do well. What in the name of hell was this guy getting paid to do? He's the offensive coordinator and play caller. It was his job to put everyone in the best position to succeed. He failed on every single level of what a coach gets paid to do.

    You admit in your own post that I'm quoting above that his play designs sucked, yet you are still expecting a rookie/second year quarterback to overcome his own young QB struggles and the horrible designs of the offense he is playing in? That doesn't really make any sense.

    I think Ben used to fool himself with the pump fakes.

    One without music from end of career Ben...still got it. Still had the arm strength too IMO. But the accuracy declined.
