Week 7: Bears at Buccaneers

[jersey cubs fan]

Q: Do we think the front office made Nagy start Fields or do we think he did it on his own volition?

I think he made the decision on his own while Pace likely raised the issue with him from time to time.

Thanks, I know a guy who is defending Nagy by saying this decision was taken out of his hands.

I do not believe it matters, we'd see the same results from any QB in Nagy' system - lack of preparation, not putting your players in a position to succeed, calling for snaps on things that aren't there, etc. - that's all on him.

Yep.

 

I'm willing to admit we know a lot less about predicting future success than we think, and that these evaluations are complex with many moving parts. But it's hard to figure out an area that Nagy's offense is supposed to hang its hat on when making the case. Who's the one player or concept developed. Is it supposed to be the run game thus year? That's like the first consistently strong offensive output we've seen anywhere in 4 years.

I don't want to defend Nagy straight up, but I don't think he's the entire problem with the offense.

 

1) We still don't have a currently good NFL quarterback

 

2) We're spending way too much of our cap space on defense.

No anyone who says he's the entire problem is wrong.

 

But still, 3.5 years in and if I was forced to say what they're good at, it's the running game over the past 7. And I see very little evidence that I'm supposed to primarily credit Nagy for that. Even squinting I can't tell if there's an area where we could say there's some positive track record. Even with below average talent I'd expect a guy specifically brought in to be a guru show something with what he's given.

 

Edit - basically even the most charitable case I can come up with is Nagy is an averagish offensive mind in a terrible situation. If that's the case, I can get a new HC and find plenty of averagish OC to do the same thing and if I'm lucky, find better.
