We have had any number of threads that discuss Bradley's status as being on the hot seat.

 

The general consensus is he needs to show some improvement in order to avoid being on the hotseat.  How much is a matter for debate, but we generally agree the team needs to improve its W-L record this year.

 

But we haven't had much discussion on how he will be able to get to this level of improvement.

 

Generally we agree that the past two drafts have been good and the roster overall is much better than it was when he arrived, so he has the "raw material needed" to win.

 

So then an unstated but obvious premise is that the roster could be more talented and the team not show improvement in the W-L record.

 

To me, that would be an indictment on Bradley's ability to develop talent.  But I don't think we've had much discussion or debate on his ability to develop talent.

 

How do you think he rates in this one area?  What young guys has he developed?

 

Since Allen Robinson missed most of training camp and preseason, and was productive almost immediately, could you make the argument that Bradley did not develop him?

 

Since the bulk of the nucleus of the roster are first and second year players and free agents, is it too soon to rate his ability to develop?

 

At what point is sufficient time to have developed a player?

 

Is it possible to even make the determination?

 

I'm not sure where I stand on his ability to develop players.  I am trying to avoid the temptation to say that he isn't developing players because the team hasn't won yet.
