McDaniels to Indy? Not so fast.

The Andrew Luck pipe dream to Denvers over now....

Luck was never going anywhere.

Has anyone from the BB tree been a success as a HC ? The simple fact for NE coaches, including BB, is that with Brady behind center they have a big advantage over other teams.

Good luck Andrew Luck

I wouldn't say the dream is over. If it's like last time, the first thing McDaniels will do I make Luck so mad he won't ever step on the field for him lol

McDaniels wouldnt take that job without Luck being there. And two, McDaniels wont be GM this time around. I'm sure he may have some say in offensive personell but he's not trading a top 3 QB in his prime.

Luck isn't a top 3 QB.

I've said it many times. McDaniels is one of this generations greatest offensive minded coaches.

He will succeed in indy because of his mistakes in Denver.

I agree. I think he will find success in Indy and, partially due to his history with us, they will be one of our bigger rivals going forward. Especially once Brady retires.

I could see Luck and McDaniels being a dangerous duo.

Good luck Andrew Luck

For all the things McD has done wrong, I think he is capable of getting the most out of QBs and putting them in positions to succeed...

We won’t be a rival to anyone until we get a real coach. We are a doormat currently and McDaniels will have Indy’s offense humming right off the bat. Elway made a huge mistake hiring Joseph and promoting Woods, and made an even bigger mistake keeping them.

Really? In Super Bowl XLII the Giants couldn't cover Randy Moss, but New England's Offensive Tackles couldn't block New York's Ends. They sacked Brady five times and knocked him down and hurried him other times. Quick solution is to either go tight or help those Tackles with a TE on one side and a Back on the other. It was an obvious adjustment that McDaniels didn't make. Not impressed. He didn't help Brady. It cost them the game.

Also, none of the coaches in Belichick's tree have succeeded as NFL Head Coaches. There's a first time for everything, but I'll be surprised if it will be either him or Patricia. Neither will have Brady, or Belichick telling them what to do.

Do you mean QBs named Tom Brady?

I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with either of you on this. Only pointing out that an example from a decade ago doesn’t seem fair. As you say, you either get worse, stay the same, or get better. So, there is a chance he has learned from something 10 years ago at the age of 31.

Sure. It's a chance Jim Irsay, who is known for his good judgement, is taking. BTW, just a bit of trivia, it was nine years ago and he was 33 when he became Denver HC. During that time, I hope Josh McDaniels has learned enough people skills not to scream at his assistants on the sideline during games. Gotta be careful in domes; acoustics.

I think he will do well too.
