Quote:1.  The defense HAS been disappointing, but admit it.  It hasn't gotten too much help from the offense.  Constant 3 and outs like we saw in the 2nd half of the Philly game, all game long against Washington, and the first half against Indy did not help the defense at all and hurt the offensive and defensive rankings, as well as the overall W-L record, which is the basis of your saying Bradley is in over his head.  Furthermore, the second year performance is perfectly understandable when you consider the rookie input has taken place in his second year, not the first.

 

2.  I'm not attacking you.  The fact Bradley was a 6th choice of yours is in no way inconsistent with the fact you nevertheless liked him as a candidate and called him a potential coaching superstar.  It only matters in that it was a device to make a humorous observation about your impatience in these matters.  I've critiqued you for being impatient in these matters numerous times over the years without being accused by you of engaging in ad-hominem attacks.  What is different now?  Even before the post you quoted, my point has repeatedly been anyone criticizing Bradley for the record at this point is being premature given the lack of experienced talent he has to work with.  I reiterated these points in your thread.  If I completely retract the post you cite as an ad hominem attack (and I'll do it if it will further the football discussion here), the underlying premise-you, once again, being reactionary and impatient in football matters-stands.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
