Another Terrible Coaching Performance by KOC

Here's the thing -- Hall was not the plan.  Mullens was the plan, and he was mysteriously down with a back injury despite not having played a down of contact football.  Mullens can run the Cousins plan (albeit not nearly as well).  There was no plan for a mobile QB...

Mullens, like Dobbs is a ticket to nowhere.  The only move with upside is Hall, because he either surprises us, or stinks which improves our ability to draft a QB next spring.  The organization doesn't seem to have a clue here, which is just its usual m.o.

This doesn’t make any sense.  There are no players who are “the plan” and players who are “not the plan”.  All the players are part of the plan.  Mullens was resigned prior to drafting Hall, he gave us a “competent” backup option at QB if Cousins went down and if we couldn’t draft a QB, but probably wasn’t going to provide the potential upside of a drafted QB.  We went into the draft looking for a QB with upside, didn’t find one early in the draft, but got Hall late.  Furthermore, the plan constantly evolves.  We’re not using the outdated plan that they formulated in March prior to resigning Mullens.  Hall isn’t the unknown quantity he was immediately after the draft.  They see him in practice everyday.  Furthermore, I don’t think who the backup is on any given Sunday is a direct hierarchy, where you can assume that if the starter goes out, that the backup is automatically the next starter.  Mullens is probably going to be the backup for every game, just because he has the experience and knowledge to survive being tossed in a game cold and lets Hall focus on developing week to week.  I don’t think that rules Hall out at becoming the starter.

Did you see a plan for a mobile quarterback?  I did not.  Yes, plans are always evolving but that is really my point -- KOC has not, so far, evolved his scheme to fit Dobbs.  I know Hall is more mobile as well -- just haven't seen enough of him to know what his skillset is.  I guess we will see what KOC ultimately thinks when he announces the starter against the Raiders...

I disagree that there is not a plan. 

The plan is dictated by the depth chart.

That is until you are down to your 3rd or 4th stringer the last 1/4 of a season. At that point you are literally week to week.
