Quote:Are we admitting that we're not just young, as the party line seemed to indicate last season, but fundamentally bad? No. Statistically and otherwise, our offense was bad last year. How does hiring any OC, regardless of who it is, indicate that the young players are fundamentally bad instead of just young? That's a pretty significant leap in logic. If we were admitting that our players are fundamentally bad, wouldn't Caldwell and Bradley be looking for new jobs?

 

I also don't get the notion that Gase is a whiff because he had Manning to work with. Then perhaps it's because he has no OC experience apart from Manning. And the fact that every team who interviewed him hired someone else. Maybe those things are giving people reason to believe Gase is a whiff?

 

Are we admitting that Bortles is not a good QB, who just needed a year to 'mature', as the party line seemed to indicate last season? What kind of logic is this? Gus hired a guy with experience developing young QBs both in college and the NFL, yet somehow this means Blake is bad QB?


What part of Olson's complete inability to produce production out of Gabbert indicates that he's good at working with bad QBs? Gabbert had his best year under Olson, including his time in SF. So I would guess it would be that.

 

Couldn't we just as easily say that Olson was a major contributor to Gabbert's collapse from potential to the worst QB in the league? Logically, no. Because Gabbert had his highest QB rating under Olson. To say Olson was a major contributor to Gabbert's collapse would be to completely ignore facts and logic.

 

I don't know what will happen if this rebuild fails. We clean house and start again. Is there another option?
