Quote:If you're being taught, and capable of being taught, yet continue to make misake after mistake after being corrected... that's the player.

I don't disagree with logic, but your conclusion is based on a two-part premise:

 

1)  The player is capable of being taught, which is not always the case.  -  Though QB is a vastly more complicated position, Blaine Gabbert is an excellent example.  He simply didn't get it and no amount of coaching was going to make a difference.  

 

2)  The player is actually receiving adequate instruction.   -   If the player is capable, but lazy and simply isn't putting time into learning the playbook, it's the coach's fault for letting him get away with it.  That's when Gus needs to drop the best buddy approach and come down like a hammer.  

 

Unless you believe there are that many on the roster who are incapable, upper management needs to take a look in the mirror.
