Promoting Brady isn’t about fixing the team or hoping to suddenly be competitive again this year, but maybe it’s a wake up call to certain players who clearly need it. Assuming that he’s not really any better than Dorsey, at least we get 7 games to see that and get over any dumb ideas about promoting from within (either for OC or potentially HC next year).
But who knows, maybe he’s brilliant and we get into the playoffs, find our spark and win it all this year. Of course then he’ll be poached immediately and we’ll be stuck with McD for eternity because he got us our ring, but I could probably live with that.
That said, at this point I’d almost just rather they continue to suck so bad that it becomes clear we need a wholesale changing of the guard, we bring in an offensive minded HC, he unlocks Josh’s full potential and we own the division for the next 10+ years with 2 or 3 SB wins along the way.
Worst case scenario is he shows just enough promise to save McD and earns himself a shot at being OC next year, only for us to still be entirely mediocre while pissing away another year of our QB’s career. Since this is Buffalo it will probably be this one.
