CPJ no doubt dosent suffer fools well!
NO good idea has ever come from fans.Many a brilliant suggestion has been made by an outsider. Assuming that 'someone that likes to look at buildings' is so inferior to you as to have no possibility of ever having a worthwile thought you have not thought of is the height if ignorant arrogance.
Second, it is also ignorant arrogance to assume that 'fans' are all 'people who like to look at football'. Fridgemover is a "fan" who played in SuperBowls under a kinda decent coaching staff. We have "fans" on here who have run variants of PJ's offense as coaches nearly as long as he has.
When he loses zero games I'll buy that he's thought of everything. Until then I suggest being a lot more open and slightly more humble.

Prove one has.Prove it.

Crew it isn't anywhere close to project manager status. It's more like a physicist taking suggestions from a 3rd grader.
This guy made this offense, and has been coaching for 30 years. Most of our fans have never even PLAYED football. I would be pissed if he wasted his time on what most of us think is wrong.
He does this for a living. I doubt anything you or I can think of, hasn't been thought of by PJ long before us.
I didn't make the blanket statement that it never occurred. You did and it is reasonable to ask you to defend the statement IMHO.
This.I'm 100% sure that CPJ was addressing the average fan when he said that anyway. If somebody with some football prowess wanted to talk X's and O's with him, he'd listen.
Paper misquoted him. Listen to the last 5 minutes of the call in show.I'm as big a fan of PJ as they come, but this is a disappointing quote.

Part of the problem is that all of the "better" plays we would think up are better not just because they are smart, but they are also executed perfectly. I have seen many a time where CPJ called the correct play, but it wasn't executed. Someone missed a block, someone dropped a pass. How do your adjustments work out when a tackle misses a block? or when a wide-out drops a pass 50 yards out, past the secondary?

I've never made a game plan for a football game, but in general there's no scheme that's going to turn failure into success. I don't think, based on the way we've seen CPJ call plays, that he modifies his plans because his guys aren't executing them correctly. If the play is there, he's going to call it and by gosh you're gonna get it right eventually.
