How the Jets fair under Gase will be interesting. I wasn't as angry about his play calling as others (although some 3rd and short calls were horrible until he figured out to get Tannehill off the field and put in Ballage running the Wildcat) because I heard the same complaints about every OC for Tannehill. Then when backup QBs come in they start chucking the ball further down the field under the same OC.
When Lazor was getting lambasted for supposedly not calling plays for Tannehill to throw down the field his response was that in nearly every play there are deep passes and it is up to Tannehill to take those shots.
My complaints with Gase is 1) he was clueless that Tannehill could be anything more than a bottom level starter and 2) his inability to coach talented players choosing to get rid of the them for little if anything in return.
As long as he doesn't have final say in personnel the Jets might do a lot better under his guidance. Or they might not and he turns out to just be a crappy HC.
