1st round, 2nd round, BUST whatever round.Hill wasn't a 1st round pick.
In fact, he was barely a 2nd round pick.

Considering his track record, McClay does a great job. Keep in mind that Taco and Hill were drafted at the end of their rounds while you ponder this:I understand McClay does an overall good job but picks like Hill and Taco can't happen and someone needs held accountable.
Anyone will miss on players but really you should not be missing on 1st Rounders and high 2nd Rounders. These have to start
somewhere for you PERIOD
Taco, yes.1st round, 2nd round, BUST whatever round.
I do like Colombo but I don't blame McDouble for getting his own guy. It's actually nice to see Jerry not forcing Colombo on McDoubleinteresting in this week 01/17/20 Friday's version of Whispers from the Star per Jean Jacque Taylor- Jam Session:
- Kellen may have had too many "voices' in his ear during his 1st year as OC when things wasn't going as planned. Speculation that Garrett (passive-aggressive) may have been one of them.
while McCarthy likes K-Moore as an OC, he could keep Kellen on a short leach.
- There was never any considerations regarding Witten immediately being the new full time TE coach, maybe he needs to 'earn his stripe' first s as he moves up the ladder as an asst. coach
elsewhere. (quality control?) should coaching for McCarthy be anything serious. and it was peculiar seeing Witten do a lap run around Cowboys Stadium.
Was it a farewell lap ? and BTW last year was his lowest number of recs-yrds since rookie yr.
- Brad Nusseinmeher the new QB coach has a lot of coaching experience, he knew McCarthy, they thought he was a flat better pure coach than Kitna, he's been around as an offensive asst.as an OC
involved and worked with QBs, and had familiarity with Dak, Kellen, and the success of the offense may have played a part in Brad getting promoted to QB coach, which forced Kitna out the door.
- Trysten Hill - coming from two sources when asked if Hill showed anything at the end: one source says he did not do a G-Damn thang.- Knock on hill coming out was immature, don't always play hard,
and this source says Hill was same guy at the end as he was at the beginning .... while another source says he actually showed maturity and he kept coming back, he showed some swag,
- of all assist coaches let go, Columbo seem to be most upset. Kitna waited to hear what will happen, while Columbo asked McCarthy to meet with him. He was very disappointed that he was not
retained per outstanding OL performance in '19. and McCarthy could not even look him in the eyes during their meeting; questioned team loyalty. .
Gonna bleed him dry, huh?interesting in this week 01/17/20 Friday's version of Whispers from the Star per Jean Jacque Taylor- Jam Session:

To be fair to Mike, there was an entire cheese danish on the table that kept catching his eye.- of all assist coaches let go, Columbo seem to be most upset. Kitna waited to hear what will happen, while Columbo asked McCarthy to meet with him. He was very disappointed that he was not

Just shows how little DD we do on players. Its like our scouting department watches tape and looks at a stat sheet to make decisions. If the guy is lazy and difficult to coach, why would you draft him that high? This was a bad pick from day 1. We would draft better if we fired the scouting department and just went with the consensus internet opinion.
I have no problem with Columbo being up-set...anyone would.
and equally, I have no problem with Big Mc picking who he wants to coach his o-line.
the previous staff had their shot.....its somebody else's turn now.
Im willing to bet that a smart HC, that has full trust in KM, that he unleashes the full potential of this offense, not just dead stats, but actual playoff progressive stats.
I honestly feel that KM was hindered in his first year, and influenced in a way that handcuffed his true potential.
Lets hope that KMs mind, fully blossoms and he blows this offense off the charts under the new regime.
One of Marinelli's high motor guys?Un****ing believable. Our first round pick yall
We will probably never know, but hopefully we find out what KM really has to offer this season, what is KMs true potential.I think you are right. Did you noticed how he started the season and in some games the offensive play calling became predictable and not as aggressive. Carrot top might have had something to do with it.
1st round, 2nd round, BUST whatever round.
Considering his track record, McClay does a great job. Keep in mind that Taco and Hill were drafted at the end of their rounds while you ponder this:

Just my opinion, but everything I have read and heard says that both Taco and Hill were Marinelli calls and not the scouting departments. They did their jobs and gave their board to the higher-ups and those people decide to go against that board and listen to an old coach that the game has passed by.
And here we are, and here he is not.
