Serious ?. Does Gus deserve any credit for helping to get this team to this point?

You would be wrong in so many ways. If he couldn't make it work over 4 seasons, he doesn't deserve credit for a culture change, staff changes, scheme changes, etc. Except that Gus did the exact opposite. Maybe his failure wasn't about fundamentals per se, but about attitude. In any case he was a negative factor in player development. On defense, only a few interior defensive linemen improved from year 1 to year 2 with the team (Abry Jones and Marks). The DBs in particular never improved. Colvin is no better than he was in 2014. Cyprien and Evans never improved. McCray was a promising CB who dropped off a cliff. Telvin is a great LB, but he was already a great LB in 2014; IIRC he led the league in tackles the last few weeks that year. Fowler was considered a bust in his second year under Gus. The defensive free agents also declined in their second season under Gus, notably Odrick and House. On offense the WRs and Bortles improved in their second year under Gus (and then mostly slumped in year 3), but the OL, RBs, and TEs didn't. Bowanko was a promising rookie. Cann was much better as a rookie than he was last year. Beadles was a Pro Bowler before Gus, and again played well last week. Linder is good, but he was very good in 2014. Joeckel ... well maybe he wasn't Gus' fault, but maybe he was. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
