Quote:Well, Marlon Brown is better than any UDFA WR that Jerry Sullivan has coached in Jax. He is also 6'5" 215lbs and got a a ton of red zone targets from a QB who is actually efficient in the red zone. I happen to watch quite a bit of Ravens football and follow the Ravens very closely and from my own observation regarding the development, or lack there of, of Ravens receivers as well as information from people who cover the team (Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, Tony Lombardi of Russell Street Report, Matt Zenitz of the Carroll County Times) I can tell you that Jim Hostler was not on the same level as Jerry Sullivan as a WR coach. As I said in my earlier post, if he were he would still be with the Ravens.

You can't tell me that because you don't sit in practices, you don't watch his drills and even if you did, there is no objective way for you or anyone to assess the impact, positive or negative on a players game by a coach. Generally the people who try and do that are arrogant trolls who think that watching a few games of football a week means they know which positional coaches do their job well.

 

Maybe Brown and Smith would be superstars were it not for their coaches negative impact, maybe he has squeezed every last drop of talent out of them. You don't know, I don't know, heck even the players and coaches themselves probably couldn't assess it accurately.

 

Even if Sullivan is that much better than any coach Tandon Doss has ever had, is he suddenly, in his 3rd year in the league with just 20 catches to his name, going to become a good WR? Its possible, but history says its very, very unlikely, certainly not to the extent where he is going to displace the man who is unquestionably our best WR.
