Honestly it all boils down to Blake. If you think his growing game field mechanics and improvement is due to Marrone and the new system. Then no.

If you believe Blake's improvements have more to do with being in the same system for longer and needed the time to develop correctly. Then yes.


At the end of the day. If the QB is not efficient. Can't score points. Then doesn't matter how good the D is. Won't score much.

In my opinion we are seeing both Blaine and Blake with new coaches and systems and both succeeding.

So common sense says
A. Gus wasn't a good HC
B. They didn't buy into his system
C. Qbs don't stink then preform well just cause
