Called it.
3 years in a row BOB's starter got benched. And another QB of his is Hack.
At some point, it's his fault. Fans can't deny it forever.
How is it a coaches fault that players lack talent? Hard to turn shit into gold. I mean you can't even get upset at year 1 & 2, where was the talent at QB? Fans have a legit beef this year because Oz didn't show he had the goods before signing that deal, but it's a player evaluation issue, less so coaching. Again, Hack isn't good, stop projecting it as a coaching issue, some guys fucking suck. Carr couldn't sit in the pocket and read if his life depended on it at the college level, atrocious pocket awareness. Completely different in the pros, is that all on the coaches, how much is that on Carr? There's no secret sauce, some guys get it, some don't, you can't give coaches all the credit or all of the blame when it comes to player development, so many variables.
Marinelli was showing Barr tapes of past pass rushers he coached during the draft. Zimmer has him playing inside backer. I know the Vikings have a deep rotation at end, but maybe Barr is being misused?
Barr never showed he could cover before entering the league, I remember him being a rusher exclusively, outside of some zone drops on blitzes. Thing is, he's actually shown to be a pretty good space player, but he's incredibly athletic and probably relies more on his natural talents than a feel for the position. He's a 3-4 OLB playing in 4-3 under scheme where he drops more than rushes, but last year he was lights out, so he's shown he can play as a backer, or rather the small sample size showed he could play the position.
Really like him as a player, hope he bounces back.
