Remember how triggered we all got at ANY speculation of a Dan Quinn hiring?

You are high as a kite man. Geno was a big problem today.. He wasn't even accurate when he threw the football at the defender, he barely bounced it off the top of the helmet lol
He's been asked to throw more than any other quarterback in the league and significantly so. He's been asked to do so with very little help, again.

I'm not saying he was great yesterday. I'm saying that there's nothing in his skillset or average level of play holding him back from actually competing if we had any one or all of a non-putrid run game, a non-putrid line, and/or a non-putrid defense.

Any quarterback makes mistakes when asked to do it all. Ask Mahomes this year (even though he has a world class defense on his team).

Brady goes 10-7 on this squad. They suck. If they didn't suck, I am comfortable stating that Geno would have a significantly better stat line everywhere but pass yardage.

To be fair, Quinn's D isn't why they're winning. Their offense is unstoppable with Jayden and will hilariously get Kliff Kingsbury another HC shot I'm sure. Though I would have been fine with hiring Quinn, I've always liked him and players really respect him.
Quinn inspires his guys. He's a proven culture guy. His players love him. His defense is overperforming relative to its talent, as it's a cobbled-together band of misfit vets.

Getting kinda sad we didn't go with the guy that we knew as a consistently successful leader of men. I feel like we might've needed some experience.

Mac is still learning and might look better once he fires Grubb in the offseason (if Grubb continues with whatever this is) and maybe lets go of defensive playcalling so he can focus on actually head coaching.

Quinn’s defense was very average or below average for many of his years in the league.

We had the 30th ranked defense with Pete Carroll and many of these players and many people argued to keep him. I think you guys are giving up on Macdonald entirely too early.
