It would be gutsy for Vic to change OC. May be needed to give him a shot.

I don't think Fangio will fire Shurmur. First of all, if the team is not competing for the playoffs this season, Fangio knows he's gone. It would be pointless for him to change the coordination of the offense for a few games before he's fired anyway. If anything, it would make him look even more clueless on his way out. Fired Scangarello [coward scapegoat move] under the justification that Shurmur was the experienced OC that would fix the offense, and then decides to fire Shurmur during his second season? It would just confirm that Fangio does not know what he's doing. If he's out, then show some conviction and keep Shurmur along for the final ride.

Outcoached every week on all 3 levels sans a few weeks against the Jets.
it’s been this way since November 2016.
Fangio is not HC material. He belongs in the booth as a coordinator. Which is why no one ever gave him an HC job until Elways dumbass.
at this point we all know Teddy and Lock have no future here. So it’s a wasted season. If Paton likes someone on the staff to become HC in 2022, you fire Fangio the moment they hit 3-6 and promote the person he likes. I doubt Paton is looking at anyone currently on the staff to become HC, so Fangio and Co will play out until end of year to a losing record…fired….then the roster gets broken up entirely for a new system and regime. Von gone. Fuller gone. KJ likely gone. All the potential 2nd contracts of sub par players not even offered. Fant Chubb etc etc do not resign. Even my favorite player Sutton should walk. He’s going to ask for huge money and throwing mass cap space for WR is rough as there’s many examples of it going bad. It’s going to be a major rebuild for a couple years.
this team might put up 8 straight years of losing records.Last edited by The1percentKid; 10-11-2021, 08:54 AM.

fresh opportunity to build ground up, and frankly give him a few years to target and acquire the QB he thinks will be the long term solution. Sounds like the collegiate crop is pedestrian, so go BPA and begin to build a talented roster to complement young talent that makes sense to keep around.
this might be the most painful season since 2015, as I thought just maybe this team could compete merely on defense. Wins looks harder to come by after witnessing the last two weeks…

I don't want to make too many kneejerk reactions following two games, but I'm pretty close to being done with Fangio as a head coach. Even in his third season, he has no sense of game management. If this team once again fails to finish above .500, I'm all for blowing it up with the front office and starting over.
If the front office is done with Lock, I would like to see them trade him this off season and see what we can get back for him. Teddy is a reliable enough veteran to continue guiding the franchise for the next few years while we attempt to locate a bonafide franchise guy (think Alex Smith in KC)
The front office needs to focus on a younger head coach that is more versed in the current direction of the game. We need a more offensive minded leadership with better understanding of the College game and how to help players transition to the NFL. The surest way to win in the modern NFL is to have a franchise QB. And the surest way to acquire a franchise QB is to have the right staff in place to maximize a prospects talents while slowly training them out of their weaknesses. Counting on that special Snowflake that can overcome bad coaching like Elway did with Reeves is just not playing favorable odds.

Shurmur always waits until the end of games to start doing things that work.

this team is likely 5-0 4-1 with Watson. ****ing rub and tugs.

Shurmur always waits until the end of games to start doing things that work.
But yeah, the quote about lack of urgency is on full display. Our offense looked like they were going through the motions for better part of 2.5 quarters. That offense doesn’t seem to have a vocal leader anywhere… they start in one gear and seem stuck there most of the time… pedestrian
