Quote:I'm not pumped up, or defending the hire by any means. I'm just saying, it's not like he had great, or even good QBs to work with. Whether they were 1st round picks or UDFAs, it doesn't matter. They were/are not good.

 

Carr is still TBD for obvious reasons, but don't try and act like Olson had a bunch to work with on the other 3.

 

But how do we know if the QBs were bad because of a lack of talent or because of bad coaching? If it was a year or two then sure, I could believe that it was a lack of talent. But Olson has had TEN YEARS of terrible offenses. At that point all I care about is the results. It's like John Fox. I have people trying to tell me he's a bad coach. He's had 13 years as a HC, won 57% of his games, won 8 playoff games, made 2 super bowls + 1 championship game, has 6 seasons of 11+ wins, won 6 division titles and has only one season with less than seven wins. With that much data, he's a good coach, period. Olson has had ten years of bad offenses with four different teams. I don't care how or why.
