It always takes two to tango… and the vast league history (and current trends) show clearly that when a QB regresses, or fails to improve, its as much a system/coaching/surrounding issue as its simply a “he can’t throw” issue. The Texans offense coaching/personnel strategy over the last 2 years has been mocked and ridiculed at every level. They’ve also already done this multiple times throughout this franchises’ short existence, so the problem is systemic. Meanwhile good organizations know what it takes not only to develop talent… but to add to talent that is already in place, whether it be coaching, line help, scheme… whatever. Sam Darnold will win a SB this week while the Jets are still trying to find a QB. The Texans will put first time play-callers and off the street free agents on an o-line that is expected to compete now.
Maybe just maybe CJ is a coach killer? The next OC will suffer the same fate. My question to you is what should Caley have done differently in either of those playoff games. They won the first playoff game in spite of CJ because they could run the ball. Against the Pats when they couldn't run the ball and there will always be games where they can't run the ball CJ crapped the bed. Keeping CJ around means more of the same old same old. Regardless of who the OC is or who they draft the results are very predictable. Just like the results were very predictable this year. Who has mocked the two different OC's strategies? Miami just hired Slowik on to be their OC so I'm pretty sure they weren't mocking the OC's. Unfortunately the OC's have been limited by the QB in what, the way they call games. Meco doesn't trust CJ anymore and rightfully so.
