Quote:At the same time, you do see why so many people, many with legitimate reasoning, would be unhappy with the hiring of someone at such an important position who has a long history of failure, right? I mean, this isn't some unknown commodity that people are complaining about.

 

Oh sure, if you only go by the ranking of the offenses he's coordinated, he's a failure I guess.  I just try not to look at it that simplistically.

He's respected as a QB guru and he milked some good production out of Freeman in TB, made Harrington look almost serviceable for a year and helped Carr to the best rookie  stats from a QB last season. I think Bortles has better upside than all of those guys.  

 

 If he does that with Bortles this year - it's conceivable that the team is sniffing at a .500 record.  (Especially if Marrone can get that line somewhat functional and consistent.)
