Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been good so far. But I’d love to know which QB would look any better with 2 backup OTs and the worst WR room in the NFL against the best defense in the NFL at home on Sunday night.

Part of me wonders if JJ McCarthy struggled in Minnesota partly because KOC was too focused on fixing his throwing mechanics. It felt like every conversation about JJ came back to his footwork, throwing motion, or how he threw the ball too hard. It reminds me of golf. Imagine standing over a shot thinking about five different swing thoughts. Those things matter in practice, but during a round? You’re just getting in your own head instead of playing. The “throws too hard” criticism always struck me as odd too. NFL receivers have been catching rockets off JUGS machines forever. Obviously touch and trajectory matter, but I wonder if all this emphasis became another thing JJ was consciously trying to manage during games instead of just playing football. I’m not saying his mechanics weren’t an issue. I’m wondering whether the constant focus on them became an issue of its own. It’s a tiny sample size in New York, but I have a hard time believing a change of scenery alone explains how different he’s looked. At what point does coaching a player’s mechanics start getting in the way of their ability to actually play?

𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: Colts’ HC Shane Steichen could draw serious interest from teams if he’s fired this offseason, per @HolderStephen Many around the league view him as a good coach in a bad situation.

Should the Chargers move Rashawn Slater to Guard?

I believe we have to stick with McDaniel because the era of good OL is over. Colleges dont prep Oline well for the NFL. NFLPA limits practice time. Dline is getting bigger and faster. Injuries are more frequent.

2027 Mock Draft It’s early, but the draft is starting to round into form. 1. Chargers — Dylan Raiola, QB, Oregon.
The Chargers get their franchise QB. 2. Dolphins — Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State.
Dolphins get their franchise QB an elite weapon. 3. Titans — Arch Manning, QB, Texas.
Titans QB battle will play out in training camp. 4. Buccaneers — Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame. 5. Commanders — Sam Leavitt, QB, LSU.
Commander re run LSU/Arizona state QB. 6. Jets (via Cowboys) — Rocco Becht, QB, Penn State.
Christian Hackenberg didn’t workout but jets giving PSU another shot. 7. Eagles — Colin Simmons, EDGE, Texas. 8. Texans — Drew Mestemaker, QB, Oklahoma State.
Local scouts talk Caserio into their new QB. 9. Cardinals — Nico Iamaleava, QB, UCLA.
Cardinals run back UCLA QB. 10. Jets (via Colts) — Dante Moore, QB, Oregon.
Can’t pass up the value of what they consider two elite QB prospects.

He can still strip playcalling duties from him even if he can’t fire him. Zero excuses for Harbaugh.

Harbaugh on if a decision has been made on Mike McDaniel: "We're looking into everything at this point. That process is ongoing, particularly offensively, scoring more points. Different, multiple situational ways that we need to play more complementary football." Added later: "0-6 does not give the privilege to rule out anything at this point."
