Quote:Hey, if I knew the answer to your questions I'd be coaching in the NFL. But whining without offering solutions is just whining - i.e., childish.

 

I tend to be more a players not plays kind of fan. Who is out there that is this genius that sees something that no one else sees? Someone who has just been fired for failing? Is that who the whiners want?

 

I'm hopeful that this team needs to get to a third stage. Stage one was - play like an NFL team. I think this year they have. Stage two is get good QB play. Bortles is miles and miles farther along than he was last year. Stage three is learn how to score. I hope that comes soon. Real soon.

 

But don't get me wrong - I appreciate the fact that so many former GMs and NFL coaches take the time to post on this message board. We should be honored. 

 

Well they are offering a solution. Firing the current coach and getting someone else. The hope is that this someone else has the right answer. Whether it's play calling, discipline, experience, whatever. I agree with you that the players need to play like professionals and earn the salary they are getting. If they can't perform to the standards set, get rid of them. However, there is a lot to be said about the coaching. I have to think that if Belichick came here as the coach he would be able to get us winning again. But, maybe not. Much of his success came from amazing talent. But, maybe it also came from his genious coaching and play calling.

 

Since the fan base don't have the answers, the only solution seems to be is a new coach. For me, the talent seems to be here. We have great receivers, great QB, decent oline, RB that is progressing, and above average TE's. Why are we not putting points on the board? Play calls? Players who are not creative enough to make plays? Not sure.
