difference was a lot of that was hopeful optimism that the FO saw something we didn't, or that he'd eventually get coached out of a lot of those flaws. There was still plenty of doubt even after the 35 TD season. I don't think anyone was ever asserting that Bort made anyone on the team better. Even the players on the team eventually got to the point where they were just waiting to see how he'd manage to blow it this time.

Nowadays, it's justified confidence that we finally got it right and have a long term answer. You don't see any of the angst among the team, we see otherwise average guys excelling, and there would be very few around here that would make a stink when his contract extension is announced.

It's so refreshing.
