Hence why I said that Brady unlocked the cheat code on Burrow. All great coaches find ways to maximize their players talents, as opposed to bad coaches which often try to fit square pegs into round holes.Strong post. But don’t underestimate the synergy between Brady and Burrow. I’d say Burrow’s talent & ability to execute the offense was also key. Not a Brady detector by any stretch, but great coaches put players in position to succeed and maximize talent.
I believe that this is why Burrow gives Brady so much credit for his success. He tailored LSU’s offense to fit and highlight Burrow’s strengths, as well as those of his many weapons.
This is also why Burrow is succeeding in Cincy. They have been smart in tailoring the offense to his strengths, similar to what Brady did. NFL teams have learned the hard way to not try to force great talents to change too much. Similar to what Arizona has done with Kyler Murray. The offense is designed to let him do what he does, and the results so far speak for themselves.
In the old NFL, Murray and Burrow are likely to have been busts, since they both would have most probably been forced to play in a traditional way, and suffered because of it.
Similar to Lashlee sitting down with TVD after a couple of losses this season and asking him what plays he would prefer to run, and what his preferred throws were. After that happened, TVD took off and flourished.
I believe that Brady will do the same with TVD, if hired. He is a very intelligent young coach known for his ability to adapt his offense to fit the strengths of his players.
Carolina this year was just a mess, specially after McCaffrey got injured again. With the lack of QB talent and OL cohesion, they were destined to fail under any OC.
I believe that their loss might end up being our enormous gain, if the rumors are accurate.
