Who said I was excited? But I completely disagree with your assessment of Petzing vs those 3.
Stefanski from 2009 was assistant QB coach for 4 years, TE coach for 2 years, RB coach for a year, QB coach for 2 years (of which he was interim OC for 3 games) then hired as OC in 2019 as he was about to turn 38.
Petzing was Assistant WR's for 2 years from 2016. Assistant QB for a season. WR coach for a year. TE coach for 2 years. QB coach for a year and then OC just before he turned 36.
Stefanski had 2 more years as a position coach which were really 2 years he wasted being an assistant QB coach for the first 4 years of his career. He had an extra year as a QB coach and 3 games as interim OC. That's all he has over Petzing.
The Steichen stuff you wrote is nonsense. Outside QC coach he had 3 years as QB coach with Philips Rivers. Rivers had 8 career Pro Bowls and 5 All pro's and 3 top 4 finishes for OPOTY. He's a Hall of Fame QB so hardly shocking he would be good under any half competent QB coach.
O'Connell was a 1 year QB coach at the Browns with a 3-13 record and sucky Manziel and McCown. Two year as Redskins QB coach with Cousins where they went 7-9 and 7-9. A single year as the Skins OC in 2019 where they went 3-13. And then 2 years with McVay where he didn't call plays.
Petzing has a better CV than both Steichen and O'Connell before they became OC's. And not far off Stefanski.
But my main point is, none of us has the first clue about Petzing or what he might (or might not) do. He could be the next Sean McVay or he could be the next Scott Turner.
But going off his CV there's no reason to doubt him when compared to others. He's put in the work. He's more experienced than many before they get their shot.
