Quote:I was listening earlier, he called a caller (I believe the guy name was James) dumb, it was unprofessional considering the guy made a valid argument and wasn't over the top in doing so. 

 


I heard that particular part of the segment.

 

Lageman's tone was almost shockingly harsh, certainly defensive.

 

I get his point about there being areas of improvement (i.e. Bortles and the passing game).

 

Part of the problem of his argument is not once did he articulate how/when the incremental improvements that we ARE seeing (or SHOULD see, or in his case IS seeing) would turn into wins for the team.  If the audience is having problems with what they are seeing from the team, and he is the analyst that doesn't see this team as being too far away, then tell the great unwashed among us what the team is missing to turn these close losses into wins against vulnerable teams.  Tell us what it will take for this team to get over the hump.  If you, as an analyst, don't offer the answer to that basic question and the reasoning behind it, then there is no reason to trash the fans (that one in particular) for wanting a change at coach.
