With McDaniels, the Patriots should be better at
HC (Vrabel over Mayo)
OC (McDaniels over Van Pelt)
QB ("Full" season under belt of Maye)
So the spotlight, if this happens, really needs to be on who gets the D.C. job and, even more importantly, what the personnel department does with the money and picks available. In free agency, this team needs to spend money like a drunken sailor taking out a high end escort. And the draft needs to be used to fill in any positions missed in free agency, and maybe a high-level RB prospect if they did well enough in free agency to allow for it.
My post was sloppy, so my apologies. Part of him going to the subscription model was his demand for more personal information just to have an account, and that's what I meant.
And, as something that gives me absolutely no surprise....
The media is now crapping on McDaniels as O.C..

Analytics should be a part of the pregame prep (% of time the offense is in 21 personnel, for example), but it needs to be a small part of it. It has no business being used on the field, IMO. Analytics can’t measure momentum.
Good, let them..
I don't give a shit if this is an obvious pairing. Sometimes the best decisions are the simplest and most obvious for a variety of reasons. And that's how I view this. We are incredibly lucky that the stars have aligned for this staff to happen IMO.
100% agree with this.
We've got morons who's argument is
"But I want something different!"
as if the last two seasons of Jones wasn't different, and as if last season wasn't different, and as if different doesn't frequently fail all over the NFL.
Just as with any sport, and with almost anything in life, data without context is a problem. But sports hasn't figured that out yet, for whatever reason.
They probably imagine the interview going like this.
Vrabes: What are your plans to innovate the offense, and what have you learned about today's offenses that can be implemented.
Josh: Absolutely nothing, I'm going to run the same offense from 15 years ago. I haven't learned anything and don't plan to change a thing.
Vrabes: You're hired.
I like this move, they are going to run Vrabel's Defense, they had a great relationship so much so that Vrabel promoted him to assistant HC. Hopefully (if it happens) they can have him for 2 or 3 years.
Vrabel theoretically being able to at least mostly leave the offense to McDaniels would make this easier to swallow, as it should allow Vrabel more time to focus on helping the rookie play caller.
I love what he said about teaching situational awareness and game management to Maye. Vrabel is as good as gets in that department, having learned from the best in his prime.
