Three Suggested Moves For Every NFC Team

Continuing with where I left off the other day, here are three moves I believe each of the NFC teams should make this offseason. Again, the categories:

I’ll start with the AFC and, later in the week, review the NFC.

Upon further review, I think Elway’s reasoning for his choice of Joseph was more than just about keeping consistency.

When we look at the most successful current coach in the NFL, Bill Belichick, there are three things that have allowed him to achieve that success level: Evaluating personnel and getting the final say, overseeing the team and letting his coordinators handle play calling, and having stability at the quarterback position.
