The hubris of the "whispering" KOC
That has led us to where we stand with the QB position. The illogical decisions made over the past few years at QB become clearer when viewed through the lens of a HC that has been drinking, as Coach Saban famously said, "the rat poison" of all of the "QB Whisperer" smoke in the media being blown up his gym shorts. He has allowed legitimate talent leave the building without a care it would seem, choosing to keep new "QB projects" each year instead of the more sure things. Yes, there are mitigating factors with some, but the overall pattern is the same. It's like whether to take a bet on a QB that checks 3 of 4 boxes, or ignore that and roll with 2-3 QB's that each check 1 of 4 boxes. On the surface, it is an ignorant bet, but not if you think you are God's gift to the position and you can sprinkle some magic dust and coach them up multiple levels. Denny Green would have this to say of all of the QB's we have on the roster, "They are who we thought they were". KOC's hubris does not allow him to see that and now we stand on the precipice of a historically great defensive effort being wasted (let's be honest, he has been cashing checks for some time now directly out of Flores bank account), along with alienating a HOF WR to the point that it would not be a surprise if he demands a trade. We are watching the culmination of his decisions at the QB position lead us back to Tavaris Jackson level play. It is frankly disrespectful to JJ, specifically, but also all of the offence to trot out hot garbage at QB each game and ask them to just eat it and try to make some plays and make chicken salad out of chicken squeezin's. One last thing, it is quite rich for KOC to stand at the podium post-game and get asked about changes that need to be made at the QB position and have him divert totally to Teasley, like he has nothing to do with it. To be honest, I hope KOC has nothing to do with it at this point, but unfortunately, all we will have on the market are more reclamation projects. Maybe Teasley scores a deal to bring in a QB that checks more boxes than the Saint Motel song "My Type" with the lone prerequisite, "Alive and Breathing".

So the QB room hasn’t been upgraded?
LMAO,
I really liked our QB room in TC, and on paper it was good, but what a disaster it has become.

Scares me some psyched that you have come to this conclusion. I personally like the way i used to think about KOC. Twas quite romantic for a while.
I felt since he was hired that KOC is a b.s. artist and as an offensive mind basically a fraud. But guys like that nevertheless can have some success.
But what is this team now if Flores isn't carrying it? 2-15? Even he can't overcome the ineptitude when it's sunk to this level. Offensive coaches who put that kind of dead end product on the field in year 5 typically get fired.
Imagine the real possibility that this season goes down the drain, wasting a once in a lifetime D, and yet no changes and they trot phoney Kevin out for year 6. I don't think I could invest the time and energy to care any more.
