They're certainly harder to evaluate than players but I think it's pretty clear who the stand out coaches are in this league. Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Tom Coughlin, etc.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Good point. He played QB for the Packers and Eagles too.

 

Jan 14, 2016

I'm assuming so. They said it's gonna be much more run oriented. We need to get Murray running behind a fullback again.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Certainly harder to judge a coach who has never been a HC before. Look at Reid for instance, he was widely unpopular and was never even a DC or OC in his career. He did great for many years. @TimmyT

Okay Heath Evans lol

We won't see a FB but I think anyone in the league but Chip Kelly will know how to run Murray so I'm expecting him to have a good year

Hue Jackson could very much fail in Cleveland but I think this guy is the real deal. Reason why I wanted him in SF so bad.

Has no control of personnel, but I'm ok with getting rid of most of the WR and Oline anyways.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Andy Reid's offense used a fullback. I think the Chiefs do too.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Honestly if he has no control over personnel I think it could work out good for you guys. Things were great with Chip till he started making personnel decisions. I'm interested to see what he does with Kaepernick.

yeah, they're definitely harder to judge than players. usually, when a player is good, it's self-evident/clear cut. however, with head coaches, its more controversial (in most cases)

like you said, a few of the good head coaches (like the ones you named, don't forget andy reid) are obvious------but MOST head coaches in the NFL are more of a question mark IMO.

i agree totally

plus he's done well in KC and most of his seasons as a head coach in the NFL have been quite successful (winning seasons)

Wait a minute, what happened with Chandler Jones? He showed up at a police station high on synthetic weed?!

 

Jan 14, 2016

He was outside the police station yelling and basically tripping out from a synthetic cannabinoid blend that he consumed. So they took him to the hospital. Also some rumors he came from Gronks house which was right down the road from the police station so he probably smoked it there.

He was more than likely just suffering a panic attack from the incense blend. I've smoked over 100 grams of synthetic marijuana, and I never had to go to ER. 15-16 year old kids used to smoke bags of the synthetic cannabinoids, and they're fine. Chandler was just being a p---- and couldn't handle a legal high. And Gronk probably influenced him to try it, since it doesn't show up on drug test.
This stuff does make you feel like you're having a heart attack sometimes, but really it's just a panic attack. I was thinking about calling the ambulance one day when after taking a couple hits; I was on the floor holding my chest because it hurt so bad. This is the nfl's fault for banning marijuana

 

Jan 14, 2016

I tried it before too and won't try it again. It basically feels like a five minute acid trip. And people have died from it. Doesn't make sense that that's legal and marijuana isn't.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Won't matter what plays chip calls if he can't bring in a QB coach that will work with him

 

Jan 14, 2016

People weren't dying back in 2010-11 when the legal cannabinoid was the jwh series. Jwh was pretty similar to marijuana if you only took 1-2 small hits. Jwh was researched since the 70s. It's the new cannabinoids like ab-chiminca that are dropping kids dead. People are legally ordering the stuff online from china and some people who mix the chemicals with blends aren't mixing the ratio right. A too big hit of a cannabinoid dose can be fatal. Then the makers sell it to smoke shops.

A lot of players smoke this in the regular season I'm sure. There was another nfl player pulled over and arrested for having a cannabinoid blend on him like a season or 2 ago.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Wtf? Sure you aren't thinking of salvia? Wasn't at all like a 5 min acid trip to me at least.

Also I heard something about Gronk being injured, I assume he will be fine for the game tho.

 

Jan 14, 2016

A lot of people who try a legal cannabinoid blend their first time report it more like being on acid. It's because their cannabinoid receptors have never been pushed to those limits. Some new legal cannabinoids are 100-300 times more potent than thc.

My first time trying it I bought it legally at a smoke shop and my friend who was on probation said it's stronger than weed and doesn't show up on drug test. I laughed thinking there's no way it will get you high so I wrapped the whole 1.5 grams from the jar into a blunt. You couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes then it hits your body and was hard to walk then I saw nothing but white and was going in and out for a half hr or so. I didn't smoke it for months after my first experience.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Yeah I've smoked it about twice now, not a fan. First time I smoked it I was drinking vodka beforehand so I got crossed and had a s--- experience

 

Jan 14, 2016

Yes I'm talking about salvea. I thought that's what synthetic marijuana is? Or at least a type of it. I got ridiculous visual hallucinations from it. The entire world around me turned into a cartoon. Couldn't even see what was actually around me at all.

 

Jan 14, 2016

Naw man salvia is different than the fake weed stuff.

 

Jan 15, 2016

I agree. It sucks we didn't get him with 2 years on his deal because I would like to like to see him in the system for another year at least but I feel he might ask for a little too much to keep. There aren't many better options out there though and I do like him.

I hope that the time he spent with Andy Reid he was able to pick up a lot and can carry that over with him to head coach. I'll stay positive and see where things take us
