He isnt lacking for confidence, that's for sure.That’s why I think the 3rd round corner (Wright) just might surprise some people… because the guy has really good movement skills for a lanky 6’4” guy. He is smooth and controlled.
If they use him to his strengths and keep him away from the wrong kind of receivers for him, he might cause some problems for opposing offenses.
It’ll be interesting to watch.
I agree. It probably won’t be much this season unless some guys go down. With only 53 man rosters though… it isn’t far from sitting and watching, to actually getting some live snaps.He isnt lacking for confidence, that's for sure.
That position needs that type of swagger...even if it's only in his own head.
Many guys in the draft are still on the rise....their best ball is ahead of them, not on college tape (which is a reason scouts should scout amd coaches should coach).
I would think, barring a run of injuries, he won't be someone they count much on in 2021.
I hope he doesn't get bent out of shape on the bench with that personality....I also hope the organization sheds its dislike for trusting youngsters over street type vets with much less talent.I agree.

It would probably be best for everyone if he just learns and gets stronger this year.

This is also why using that pick on him wasn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be. It was probably a reach, but if there's a guy with upside who you like that late, it's not egregious to get him at that spot. There's also no doubt that they have a pretty specific role in mind for him. It's not like they're going to try him in the slot lolThat’s why I think the 3rd round corner (Wright) just might surprise some people… because the guy has really good movement skills for a lanky 6’4” guy.

Obviously height is quite important to Quinn, and I dont know how many 6'4" corners are out there.This is also why using that pick on him wasn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

This organizational philosophy you speak of doesn't exist in the NFL.Do we blow it all up and start over? I should hope not. That's why we need an organizational philosophy, but that may be too much to ask within Jerry's learn as you go circus.
How does it make sense to spend years searching for specific players only to start again, and again?This organizational philosophy you speak of doesn't exist in the NFL.
Every team gets players that fits the coaches' schemes, and it will change when the coaches move. That's why a coach bringing in "his guys" is always the expectation.
They haven't changed their head coaches. Baltimore certainly changed what it's looking for in a WR this offseason anyway.How does it make sense to spend years searching for specific players only to start again, and again?
Baltimore doesn't do that. Neither does Pittsburgh.
Having an organizational philosophy certainly does exist in certain cases.
In this case, I certainly hope that the plan for Quinns successor, whenever that may happen and for whatever reason, is someone who wants players with similar traits.
I think last year was plenty case in point for what happens when the new guy tries to run his system with the last guys players.
I like you and your posts in general, and tend to agree with your thoughts...They haven't changed their head coaches. Baltimore certainly changed what it's looking for in a WR this offseason anyway.
Last line is my point...it really undermines what you're saying.
You are talking about a philosophy that does not actually exist anywhere, and overstating the utility of players with longer arms. It's not like a new coach is just going to cut in and cut all the long corners, but every coach drafts guys that fit his profile.If this whole thing blows up in a bad way, are we to start all over yet again with a DC that has no use for guys that are here because he doesn't care about arm length or height?
Maybe it's semantics, and maybe there's a fine line between an organizational philosophy and consistency, and/or the easier path to sustained success.
Well I guess that's what I mean....You are talking about a philosophy that does not actually exist anywhere, and overstating the utility of players with longer arms. It's not like a new coach is just going to cut in and cut all the long corners, but every coach drafts guys that fit his profile.
I think you're really just overexaggerating all of this. Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne fit any scheme. They never devalued corners...Well I guess that's what I mean....
No assistant coach should be given that type of pull, only to change things up completely in a year or two, which requires another several years to accomplish, only to do the same thing again.
The same thing has bee happening here for a while now, beginning with signing Carr and trading up Claiborne, only to switch to a scheme that devalues corners a year later.
The scouting department should have a certain philosophy, and the hiring of coaches should coincide thereof.
I don't think that the case in Dallas.
I do think it exists in places like New England, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Baltimore....etc.
Wouldn't mind keeping that kind of company....and not starting completely over every time a certain defensive scheme is the scapegoat for the lack of success in Dallas.
Don't agree at all on the first part. Kiffin admitted as much, but ok if you don't recall or think I'm lying.I think you're really just overexaggerating all of this. Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne fit any scheme. They never devalued corners...
And again, you are referencing places where the coaching staff has largely remained in place, not to mention the fact that Carroll has done a terrible job acquiring talent.
I should say, didn't devalue them to the point that neither Carr or Claiborne didn't fit or whatever. It's not like they were starting over at cornerDon't agree at all on the first part. Kiffin admitted as much, but ok if you don't recall or think I'm lying.
The second part supports my point. The HC didn't change but many assistants did. The team from there did not go hiring a DC that wanted to run a completely different scheme that they didn't have the personnel for.
Consistency within so as to not have to start over constantly with who wants what type of player.
Dallas has been all over the map on this since Wade Phillips was shown the door.
Obviously height is quite important to Quinn, and I dont know how many 6'4" corners are out there.
Probably why Dallas had him graded much higher than others.
My big concern is they have obviously have acquired personnel entirely around Quinn and his scheme....and he isnt here in 2-3 years, for whatever reason.
Do we blow it all up and start over? I should hope not. That's why we need an organizational philosophy, but that may be too much to ask within Jerry's learn as you go circus.
