Thoughts on Doug Pederson possibly going to Raiders?

Milton : 11/27/2021 4:22 pm
A Raiders fan friend of mine was asking me about Pederson and I was embarrassed to admit that I really hadn't paid much attention (and my memory ain't what it used to be) despite them being a division rival. Other than the high of the Super Bowl victory and the low of his final season in Philly (and the controversy surrounding the final game), how was he at putting together a roster, coaching staff, and game plan?
He's a goofball.

I think he had great coaches around him where he benefited greatly but he deserves credit for what he accomplished. I think Pederson to Chicago makes a ton of sense.
Good choice

if Raiders want to continue their tradition of douchy coaches.
My view? He absolutely benefitted from.

superb roster construction in 2017. That team was built like the 07 Giants...a serious offensive line that can control games, and a defensive front that could send waves of pass rushers. And just like the 07 Giants they turned it on going into the post season.

I know people slobbered over him as a play caller, especially with the "Philly special", but watching him during his tenure he was maddening as a game manager imo. I don't think he was anything special, and overall I don't blame them for moving on when they did. Dude caught lightning in a bottle and I have zero confidence he's the guy to rebuild a program.
Pederson...

did some very good, underrated work as the Eagles HC when he was there the last three years. They were besieged by key injuries and he still got them to the playoffs.

I got the sense that Pederson

was a good coach.
Excellent coach

Yeah, he is a religious extremist, made some poor decisions, and ultimately got fired.

But the man won a super bowl--and beat Brady and Bill--with Nick Friggin Foles as his QB!!!!

A devout Christian is now called a religious extremist in our world? Nice!




When Reich left, the Eagles offense went with him

And Pederson looked mediocre.

Yes, that is a bit offensive, but you have to assume he doesnt know any better.






It makes sense

Him and Gruden are from the same tree and run the same offense and build their teams the same way. So it's sort of a ready made situation for him. It's basically getting Gruden 2.0.
