Here's what Pat Shurmur has done most recently....

PHI 2013 - 4th in scoring. Foles 27 TDs, 2 Ints in 10 games. Resurgence of Vick in others. McCoy over 2000 total yards.
PHI 2014 - 3rd in scoring with Foles and Sanchez. Shady over 1450 total yards.
PHI 2015 - Revived Sam Bradford, and got over 1500 yards rushing with a hodgepodge of Murray, Matthews, and Sproles.
MIN 2017 - 10th in scoring. Got over 3500 yards, 22 TDs vs 7 Ints with Case Keenum. Almost rushed for 2K with Murray, McKinnon, and Cook.
NYG 2018 - Manning over 4200 yards and 92 passer rating. Barkley over 2000 total yards.
NYG 2019 - Widely panned Jones had decent rookie year with over 3K yards, 24 TDs, and 12 Ints in 12 starts.

If Shurmur could do with Mitch what he has done with Foles, Bradford, Sanchez, or Keenum, we're in the playoffs. Daniel Jones, a rookie from Duke, had 7 more TDs than Trubisky with an O-line worse than ours. Depending on when those TDs came, we'd be 13-3 or 14-2 and having a bye week for the playoffs.

If he could do for this offense and the running game what he had done for previous teams, we're in the Superbowl. 3rd or 4th in scoring, and a top 5 or top 10 D? Forget about it.

When you just need to drop the evidence bomb.

Didn't Nagy say that if he gives up play calling duties that we'd never know it?
I think we would absolutely know if Nagy was not pleased with someone else’s play calling. I don’t think he could keep it all together if someone else stunk up the play calling.

I know its Sports Mockery, but they claim that the Bears have already met with Shurmur, but do want to meet with the Chiefs guy too.

Just curious why Caldwell is not being looked at. If Shurmur refuses, I think Jim Caldwell could do wonders and fix Mitch

Hoping this happens but I still think it is a long shot

One of the things I like about Shurmur is not just his ability to get production out of his QBs, but from the running game as well. He had 3 of his 4 seasons as OC, he had over 1900 yards rushing, close to 500 more than what we had this year. If our D can be limited to 30 minutes or less on the field, there's not many teams that can beat us. Too often I saw the D collapse in the final minutes or at a crucial time because they were gassed. If we had a running game that can control time of possession, our D would be even better. That was one of the reasons why our D was so good in 2018, we had better rushing numbers.

I can't imagine Nagy handing over his Offense to anyone.

I am less concerned with him completley removing himself from play calling and more concerned with someone who can actually have a voice and can take over for stretches of games.

looks like the Chiefs' OC won't get a job....meaning Kafka is still available for OC if Shurmur goes to the Redskins.

You think Nagy's gonna allow it?

I see Michael Kafka as 32yr old, inexperienced nothing burger. I mean how is he an upgrade. Can't we do better?
Might as well promo the QB coach
