Should the Chiefs have drafted Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson? (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=188932)

The more you yell, the more your lineman learn. The louder you yell, the more they absorb it. The more you slap their hands, the better their footwork becomes.

In with the quick edit.... :D

Disagree.

I think DJ's average at worst. He has enormous upside but our terrible coaching is holding him back. His biggest problem by far is that he can't tackle. In 5 years, every one of Gun's defenses have sucked, sucked, sucked at tackling.

We've never seen what he can do without Gun. I'd love to see what he can do without a Gun. DJ is actually a pretty outstanding coverage LB and I'm sick of Gun's LBs constantly overpursuing plays. Maybe I'm naive, but I think a different coordinator could get a lot more out of a talented player like DJ.

D.J. is talented, and that's about it. He doesn't take on blockers. He doesn't tackle well. He doesn't rush the QB well. and how many INTs does the great coverage LB have? Not to mention he constantly over pursues, and if he doesn't take himself out of the play, he gets swept out of th play. Coaching has a whole hell of a lot to do with it, but this is more of your homeristic coddling..

IMO, it all boils down to coaching. These guys are all NFL caliber athletes (for the most part) and I'm convinced that if put on another squad, DJ would be a total beast. We've seen flashes here and there, but nothing is sticking. This is directly attributable to a coaches (Gun) lack of ability to get the best out of his players, whether it be their ability or the scheme...it's the fuggin' coaching.

...fire 'em all. Start over. We've got good athletes, and I'd bet the turn around would be very quick if we could just coach them better. I mean, even by next season's end. With good coaching, we could be a playoff team next year. Especially in this weak ass division.

One final bump. These were Rodgers final numbers this year:

Thoughts?

Games 16
Qb Rating 93.8
Comps 341
Attempts 536
Completion % 63.6
Yards 4038
Yds/game 252.4
Y/A 7.5
TD's 28
INT's 13

Give me Rodgers by a mile.

Hindsight, Rodgers for sure, who ****ing new DJ wouldn't be an impact here...only the chiefs

Shit, Aaron Rodgers would of be dead or out of the league by now under Herm.

Yea this one is pretty blatant now.

Yep.

I ate my crow and came to my senses last year.

Funny to see people still fighting this.

Not really because at the time we were a decent team and were looking for a few players to make us a good team, and we obviously needed help on D. Could go either way really.

This.
