Peyton Manning says teams fail young QBs when forcing them to change coaches, systems

Manning had the same OC for his first 11 years, I can’t imagine the same thing ever happening again.

I would agree that frequently changing OC’s can be problematic, even more so if they have completely different systems and/or philosophies. For one, you can never build a roster towards an ideal for a system because the system (and the skills necessary to run it) are always changing. It’s like alternating between a 4-3 and 3-4 DC every year.

Besides that, consistency on the roster is underrated. Manning had long stretches with the same WR1/WR2/TE, and it allowed him to access more of the playbook when deciding how to attack a defense. Those guys were on the same page and were all very well versed in the ideas and terminology of the playbook. Compare that to Manning having new receivers every year (essentially what this team has had for three years now). It’s hard to build that elusive chemistry when the playbook, the players, and the play caller are always changing.
