Quote:Couldn't agree more. You cannot judge GUS Bradley on these losses. He has made our players play with an edge that they haven't done so with in the past. Our defense has played better than I've seen in years, he's a defensive minded coach. The offense is simply on Jedd but regardless you cannot point the finger at him either. Our QB, C, G, 2 WR are all rookies. Not to mention our RB is basically a rookie. Our RT is nothing more than a backup, and it's all showing. We need to protect Blake more and play to his strengths. As far as motivating our team I haven't seen such a good job in a while and have not seen this many sacks or pressure to the opposing QB in years. It's quite obvious that we need to either draft a RT or FS early in next years draft to improve either side. I would say grab the FS just because it appears the safeties taken early have panned out more than the OT's as of recently, and we could probably grab a quality RT in free agency.

So if we can't judge him on losses.... Ultimately what can we judge him on?

 

You realize that if he doesn't end up winning, he won't be the coach of this team right? Winning is the only barometer of a head coach. When you look back through record books does it say "ended up 2-14 but boy did they play hard and they had a lot of rookies."

 

He's got to start winning and closing out games. We had a halftime lead yesterday at home against a division opponent. I agree the team is young but next year, if we keep losing, people will say "It's a bunch of rookies and 2nd year players out there!"
